Two related questions recently came up from female friends: 1) What percentage of men and women (seperately) masturbate, and 2) How often, on average?
We’re waiting with “bated” breath.
I reckon guys probably masturbate a lot more that women. Anyone who says differently is a wanker!
As to how often guys masturbate, well, that’s all down to the individuals recovery rate.
So sayeth the famous quotation:
90% of people are masturbators, and the other 10% are liars.
Or something like that.
There isn’t going to be any factual answer to this question, but you will get a lot of speculative replies.
Here is mine: Nearly all men masturbate. Most women masturbate. I couldn’t put a figure on how often men masturbate, but I’ll take a shot at once every 3 or 4 days. This is all WAGs, obviously.
That depends on a lot of factors, such as your age. 
Do you mean masturbate to climax?
Welcome to the boreds.

And a related question, totally germane to this subject;
What do you (they) do with “it” when orgasm is achieved?
I’ve always wondered, but was afraid to ask.
Sorry, JohnBckWLD.
mangeorge: What “it” are you talking about?
Why are you talking to JohnBckWLD?
Sorry, I must be missing something. 
Sorry, I meant mclaff9. I Pasted when I should have Copied.
I’m talking about semen, ejaculate, etc if you want me to be indelicate.
When women masturbate there is no semen, but they do produce juices. These juices would normally aid in sexual intercourse. The juices produced are not in my experience enough to warrant “doing” anything with them. For example, you can simply take a shower to freshen up, problem solved.
Oh, I just remembered this is GQ. Before manhattan comes along and bans me, I should point out that I will not be posting any more hijacks from the factual question.
I would question the accuracy of any stats derived from polls on this subject…too personal with no way to substantiate the numbers and too many reasons to not answer accurately, from self-image, poor recollection and save-the-kittens!
I suppose the older topics on this didn’t answer your question?
Alrightie.
Hmmmm… One must consider also that:
- some people dont know how to do it
- some people can’t do it
- some people are too young to do it
- some people won’t do it
I bet they don’t ask most of these people when they write stats. Thus, probably no numbers are going to be accurate. Plus, consider that people lie about their sexuality more than most things…
I remember hearing once that on average men masturbated approximately once every other day. Sorry, no cite available.
I think the amount of sex you get is a factor as well. I know I’m not as inclined when I’ve had sex fairly recently.
