Masturbation

Historically, the stigma surrounding masturbation has been skewed against women. The Kinsey Report of 1948 – the first thorough study of human sexual habits – found that 92% of males reported having masturbated, as opposed to 62% of females. Females tend to start masturbating later in life than men. This might partly be due to the stigma but it may also be due to the fact that the penis is simply more accessible than female genitalia. The Kinsey Report challenged many other myths surrounding masturbation, finding that "Masturbation was the most important sexual outlet for single females and the second most important sexual outlet or married females, providing 7-10% of orgasms for those 16-40 years." These findings are significant because they tell us that marital status has very little to do with a woman's masturbatory habits.
For many people, masturbation is a subject that is strictly off limits. They won't even discuss it, even if they enjoy a little masturbation themselves from time to time. Whether they have actually masturbation or not, many women feel embarrassed or ashamed about masturbation. That is Your first step. Throw away Your social inhibitions and prejudice. Acknowledge to Yourself that masturbation is a supplement to intercourse, not necessarily a replacement. There are several myths associated with masturbation. None of them are true and many of these myths were created years ago, when society was against masturbation and looked for ways to scare young men and women away from enjoying the pleasures of masturbation. I'll mention them here just for the laughs:
Masturbation will make you go blind; will stunt your growth; will give you acne;
will give you hairy palms; will make you go insane; will end your virginity (although women should take care not to pierce the hymen).
