Recently, FiveThirtyEight compiled information from a 2009 study from the National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior on how often people of different ages engage in self-pleasure. As is usually the case with studies like this, the post garnered lots of attention from those individuals who think the participants were big fat liars.
According to the data (collected from a sample size of almost 6,000 Americans) a large percentage of women masturbate basically never, regardless of their age. Very few women masturbate consistently – like, two-to-three times a week or more. Conversely, while there were men who said they never or rarely masturbated, there were far more men who copped to jerkin’ it frequently.
