Masturbation Facts for Women

Most women have masturbated at least once in their lives, and the frequency of masturbation varies widely, with the practice continuing into the 80s and beyond. More than 50% of women have used a vibrator during masturbation and to spice up intercourse.

Masturbation can improve your mood. Women who masturbate often report that it helps relieve the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS or PMDD), such as irritability and crankiness. Since there are no distractions, you can focus on your own experience without making sure someone else is having a good time.

Masturbation can improve your sex life with your partner. Women who masturbate on a regular basis learn what feels good for them, and women who use a vibrator during masturbation tend to have better sexual functioning with a partner. Sex therapists typically recommend masturbation for women who have a difficult time reaching orgasm. It can help them learn about their body and feel less self-conscious. Women who used a vibrator had better sexual functioning in terms of vaginal lubrication, desire, arousal, and ease of orgasm, and they tended to have less pain or discomfort during intercourse.

Masturbation can help you relax. Women tend to beat themselves up over things that they did during the day, and these little stresses can lead to irritability and depression. Masturbation can clear the mind and lead to an overall sense of well being.

Masturbation can provide pain relief. Orgasms have been shown to suppress pain, relieve the symptoms of a migraine and help with menstrual cramps.

What Turns Women Off Sexually

1001 women took a survey on the British Website www.room1001.co.uk about what really turns them off about the opposite sex:
1. Getting drunk and believing you are more attractive than you are
2. Sweaty patches on clothing
3. Arrogance
4. Inappropriate attire – i.e. socks and sandals and Hawaiian shirts
5. Looking scruffy – sweats are a no, no
6. Not doing your fair share of the housework
7. Pants that fit too tightly
8. Not being a gentleman and opening doors
9. Wearing a fanny pack
10. Y Fronts

The research reveals that ditching the drink, slapping on deodorant and minding your manners may help men be more attractive.
When asked about their biggest pet peeves around the home: dirty washing left on the floor; dirty cups and mugs being left to fester; men leaving the toilet seat up and carpet stains all featured in the top five things women want to banish forever.

David Whittome, Head of Marketing at 1001 comments: “The research has revealed what really riles women. It seems our romantic gestures such as chocolates and flowers could be misguided unless we correct bad habits.

“So all things considered; to really find our way into the heart of that special someone we men clearly need to watch what you wear, make sure you clean up and watch how you behave.”
