As
depicted in Salvador Dali's "The Great Masturbator",
masturbation is a fascinating and complex topic that affects
each of us differently. Despite almost universal agreement
by medical doctors that masturbation is a normal, safe, and
common practice, masturbation continues to be associated with
embarrassment, shame, and guilt, primarily due to societal
perceptions of the act. Yet
masturbation is a common and natural function that is practiced
by individuals of all sexual orientations, genders, and ages.
Masturbation
is defined as sexual self-pleasuring that involves self-stimulation.
According to recent studies, 97% of men and 83% of women
have masturbated at some point in their lives. That is an
increase from the 1950s Kinsey Report, which reported that
92% of men and 58% of women have masturbated.Although
masturbation is statistically quite prevalent, it is still
viewed by society as a taboo subject.
Even
in the new millennium, masturbation continues to be one
of the least talked about, least studied, and least understood
of all sexual behaviors. For this reason, we at AfraidToAsk.com,
find it important to present the straightforward facts and
fictions about masturbation.
