It’s likely not a surprise to you that men masturbate more frequently than women do, but now there are actual stats to prove it—thanks to Indiana University's National Survey Of Sexual Health And Behavior. Depending on your own self-pleasuring habits, the titillating facts will either shock or mildly interest you.
Regarding the highest-frequency masturbators, 5% of women ages 25-29 engage in solo sessions more than 4 times a week, while 20.1% of men do. The gap closes in for those who reported masturbating multiple times a month, with 21.5% of women ages 25-29 and 25.4% of men in that same age group. But the disparity generally remains the same throughout our lives, with women coming in at least 10-15 percentage points behind men in each category.
Another stat: The older we get, the more likely we are to report not masturbating at all, ever and that’s true for both men and women - I doubt the last statistic myself!
