  • If It's A Myth, Then I Am A Legend

    I wasn't sure where to post this, and though it's not a topic of dating it can play a role in a relationship.

    Let me just get it right out there, women masturbate.

    It's completely healthy and as natural as any male who partakes in this pleasure. The stereotypical thought of guys constantly have sex on their mind however, has made male masturbation more open and socially at ease. Not that female masturbation is unacceptable, it seems just to be hidden and whispered instead of talked about amongst people.

    Sex is something that human beings need in order to survive when you get down right to it. It's right up there with water and air. No sex...no people. So having sex shouldn't be something simply done, but enjoyed.  Masturbation is a fine way for women to explore their own body and feel comfortable with themselves by themselves. So many girls are self conscious and tend to be much like your computer window. I'm sure you have more than one tab or window open, correct? Throughout sex women can think one or many thoughts depending on how they feel about themselves (and, of course, depending on how the sex is). Thoughts range from "Do I look funny in this position?" to "What am I going to wear tomorrow?" and even "What time does the bank close again?" Needless to say full pleasure is not achieved by such thoughts.

    Masturbation is not only exploration for women and their body, but to practice quieting their mind during acts of love. It can make a woman comfortable with herself and with her naked body, something which fewer and fewer women seem to be.

    Or to just have a freaking orgasm and feel great.

    So guys, no. You aren't the only ones having a grand high old time out there alone.

    And girls masturbating is a myth? Well then yes, I am a legend.

    Anyone else out there think talk about male masturbation is more open?

    I agree. & I must be a legend as well! ;) 

  • SamiiSaysHaii@xanga

    Well, Mancouch certainly makes sure to include something along the lines of masturbation in every other post ;P either that or boobs, Megan Fox or something about the male genitalia. 

    And they say that either 96 or 99% of the world masturbates, and the 4% or 1% who say they don't are liars ! I thought that was an interesting statement.

    Heck yeah!  A close friend of masturbation?  The LDR.

  • TaraMcClelland@xanga

    I agree that masturbation is completely normal & healthy, & I also agree that people lie when they say they don't do it.

    Male masturbation is in fact a less touchy subject because it is simply expected for a man to need to orgasm daily.

  • MissPixieGlitter@xanga

    glad you're open! some people are just prudes.

  • MangoWOW@xanga

    Who actually thinks its a myth?

  • happyobligations@xanga

    I think guys are not surprised that women masturbate, but that they admit to it [if they ever do], since it's not accepted as male masturbation is.

  • GorJessMommy@xanga

    i think most girls think they'd be thought of as gross or something if anyone knew they did it, its "normal" for guys to do it where as when a girl does it its not so much talked about; but yes its true, girls masturbate, if they dont they're totally missing out, im 22 and it took me until i was 22 to fully be able to enjoy sex with someone else, and i have been in this game quite a while, i wont say masturbation got me to that point but it got me to a point where i know what feels good so i can show the other person to do it.  i also think being comfterble with stuff like that just comes with maturity, most girls are too immature or self concious to express what they want and if they dont they'll be left unsatisfied and its all your fault if you dont voice what you like and what you want that helps you get off, guys arent mind readers and when they're havin sex thats all they can think about .. sure some are more sensitive to their women and want them to climax as well but others are just in it for the kill and you need to be woman enough and comfterble enough to be like "tap tap .. ehh baby this isnt working, try this .. " in my experiance it turns a man on MORE when the woman KNOWS what she wants and takes the time to tell him .. dont be shy, explore and have fun because you need that in order to make the most out of your sexual experiances.  AND DONT BE ASHAMED EVERYONE DOES IT WHETHER THEY ADMIT IT OR NOT!

    I'm a legend too then! Masturbation is awesome! It helps me sleep lol. 

  • xjadersx@xanga
  • herecomesthemoon@xanga

    i don't masturbate -- it's not that i think it's bad or unladylike, i just think it'd be rather awkward for me to do by myself. i let my boyfriend do it for me anyway ;D

  • StabbedPillow@xanga

    @xjadersx@xanga - I dunno, but I feel like masturbating. care to join? LOL

  • kor_girl@xanga

    @ROCKtheB0ATx@xanga - so you don't pleasure yourself at all when you're single?


    this is a taboo subject amongst girl groups (in my opinion) because so many of my girlfriends are either a) afraid to admit that they do it or b) ashamed to experience it.
    it's a healthy way to help yourself release some stress and hell, it's just part of knowing and loving yourself, isn't it?  :D
  • betterdesigned@xanga

    There seem to be a lot of legends here. Add me to the list.

  • checkered_flowers@xanga

    It's totally natural to masterbate.How else would you know what you enjoy sexually?I wonder what the girls who don't masterbate do between boyfriends?

  • S0N1@xanga

    It's almost "abnormal" if a guy DOESN'T do it. It's kinda like they're expected to masturbate and admit it when asked. Women, however, are more reclusive about it cuz people might generalize like always and think that it's too gross and a woman should not be doing that... which I don't get aat all. 

  • tastytimmm@xanga

    The last couple girlfriends I had never masturbated... unless they lied to me...

  • randomchild_and_honeyfountain@xanga

    wow anyone else notice that all the woman who commented are legends..? lmao some myth .. cant lie i join that legend group myself :)

  • GorJessMommy@xanga
  • joycemiles@xanga

    I guess I'm just weird... because I don't masturbate. I really don't need to I only figured out girls could masturbate at the beginning of this summer. haha, I know I'm lame... but hey, I'm content without it :D  (and I'm not lying. why do people think you lie if you really haven't? I can't really prove it, lol...)

  • xpialadocious@xanga

    Yeah I think that now it's getting more open for women to talk about masturbation--I mean look at sites ranging from scarleteen.com (does that still exist?) to clitical.com and so on.  The internet has probably done untellable work in spreading the good word (ahem). 


    E-sex, of course (you'll call it cyber, probably, but "cybering" is so 2002) has probably also kicked up the masturbation numbers, but probably not the honesty (no one admits to doing THAT, either). 


    I see the "men can admit it, women can't" as just another double standard.  Nothing to it.  Just shame that gets heavier for one gender than the other.  Pfft.  Same as "slut vs. stud," basically. 

  • Nieza_Raven@xanga

    I agree with you. i do not understand why it is so frowned upon by people women or men.  I enjoy it and all my life I couldnt understand the stereotype on women whenit came to sex of any kind.  I heard it all growing up that women are to be good and save themselves and be whole for their future husband while I watched so many men play around, talk and cheat.  Bytthe time I was 14, my state of mind was "if they can do it so can I"  I did too.  I enjoyed masterbating as much as i could, I took naughty pictures and placed them online, I pleasured myself on webcams and still never could get why I got called a whore, while so many men did the same thing and it was okay.  It never stopped me, i continued to tell other women I knew that "if they can do it so can I"  I lost many friends over it due to me being a whore, but I enjoyed it and never seen a damn thing wrong with it.  To this day I still enjoy it all the time.  Only now I am lucky enough to have a husband who sees it my way.  One who enjoys my sexual life and it has been a blast experimenting with him and it will continue to be and I will continue to do it so long as my body allows me to do so.


    Life is short and denying yourself the pleasure of any of it is only going to hurt you and cut into how much you enjoy your life.

    I remember health class my senior year of high school. There was a question box and the one question read, "Why do girls never admit to masturbating?" It was hysterical. I think it is becoming a much more talked about topic now, but not as much as male masturbation.
