I remember reading an article from Discovery Health, Dr. Drew Pinsky, Dr. Ruth, among other well-known studies that the majority of women/men do it. Interesting thing is that maybe women can talk about the subject itself like we have seen here on this thread but if asked they won’t admit it. Not many pages ago a female poster was telling me how women are totally fine about it, not shy to say they do it, and so on. I simply asked if she admitted it and the conversation was over. Women can talk about who they are sleeping with, how they keep their privates, what kind of sex they like, and so on. But talk about masturbation and attitudes change on the spot. I’ve also heard women claim they don’t do it, find it disgusting or wrong, etc.
Most (though not all) studies show that the majority of men and women do it, but they also show, universally, that even more men do it than women. I've never seen a single study indicating otherwise.
I'm just saying my experience has been different than yours regarding women's willingness to talk about it. Not since my religious childhood have I heard anyone of any gender say masturbation is "disgusting or wrong."

I’ve read that most women/men do it but men may do it more often in some cases. Would be interesting to hear from women in the forum as to why is it embarrassing to admit it or a taboo while other things are easier to admit. For example, I’ve seen female posters here talk about how many men they have slept with or what positions they like, what kind of undies they wear, how they keep their privates, and so on but when it comes to masturbation they are reserved.

I'm not just talking about frequency, I'm saying more men masturbate than women. Put another way, there are more women who don't masturbate than there are men who don't masturbate. This is shown to be true even in anonymous surveys.

Gotcha. Even if the percentage difference is small, yeah, I’ve seen the difference. The one that comes to mind is from Discovery Health where it showed 89% for women 94% for men if I remember correctly. Also, the attitude from men and women about it is clear as more men seem to be open about it and not have a problem admitting it compared to women.
I think that's how a lot of women feel, and a lot of men get confused by it.
When a woman expresses discomfort with her guy watching a lot of porn, sometimes the guy thinks she is not enthusiastic about him masturbating. But I think for most women the two have nothing at all to do with each other.
She wants him to get off whenever he feels like it, with or without her, but since she usually doesn't use porn when she masturbates it does not occur to her that he might think the two are connected.
I've seen this conversation play out so many times with my friends. Have some of you had the same experience?
Men, what happens when you try to masturbate without visual stimulation? (Please try to keep your answers PG-13.) Maybe us ladies need to understand.
Men are going to masturbate, whether women like it or not. Men are going to watch to porn, whether women like it or not. Nothing will ever change either of those things. Any discussion about whether masturbation is good or bad, or whether porn is good or bad, is purely academic. You might as well have a debate about whether the sun should keep rising in the east every morning.

Why are you so interested in proving that women do it too?
You must get off about female masturbation or you don't want men to be the lone sex doing it.

Uuh nope. It’s known women masturbate so there is no turn-on on that. It’s just the whole “I am so open minded about it…” but then you ask and all of a sudden you have them act like a saint. You are the one talking about being in the same room with your brother when he did it, circle jerks, etc. Not me. So relax and don’t worry, you won’t be ask if you admit doing it. I only challenged the other female poster who said she was open minded, admitting it was no big deal, and so on. She was asked and she did what women typically do which is either deny it or be ashamed to admit it.
This goes for other non-sexual subjects as well where people say they are totally fine with something and how people should follow that. Then you ask if they follow what they just said only to have them deny it or not want to answer.

That would be the smallest difference I've seen, by far. A difference of 20% or so is more common.

I still don't experience that difference in my interactions, but I understand that you do.
