You mentioned discovering masturbation when you were quite young. It is also a sexual practice that cannot cause pregnancy or lead to an STI. It’s also a great way to explore your body and know what feels good, which will make it easier to communicate to a partner when the time comes. Masturbating and having an orgasm can relieve period pain and stress. There are plenty of health benefits from masturbation. It was an Australian surgeon – and a woman – who discovered how extensive it was. Why the clitoris doesn't get the attention it deserves – and why this mattersįor most of history, the clitoris was not fully understood or appreciated. This is why it can also feel good to have an object (including fingers or a penis) inside the vagina pushing against the arms of the clitoris. The tip of it pokes out above the hole where wee comes out (the urethra) but it extends up to 10 centimetres behind the sides of the vagina. It’s a wishbone-shaped bundle of nerves and blood vessels that will swell up and feel tingly and pleasurable when stimulated. This is because of where the clitoris is. The Australian study mentioned above also showed when a man and a woman have sex, women were much more likely to have an orgasm when her genitals were touched directly using hands or through oral sex. It’s useful to know for most females the clitoris is the most sexually sensitive part of the body. It’s only recently we’ve started talking about female masturbation more openly. Traditionally, masturbation has been something that is acceptable for boys. So it’s pretty common, and it’s also possible girls and women just don’t like to say they’ve masturbated. This survey included people aged 16 to 69 years of age, and there is no recent information on this topic in Australia on younger teens.Ī study in the US looked only at 14- to 17-year-olds and found by 17 years of age, over 58% of females said they masturbated, compared to 80% of 17-year-old males. In a large Australian survey, 42% of women said they had masturbated in the past year (compared to 72% of men). Masturbation is something people do to themselves, although “mutual masturbation” refers to people touching each others’ genitals for the same reason. Many people use their fingers and hands, but some might use objects such as sex toys. It can include touching other parts of your body that feel good, such as the nipples. Masturbation is when a person touches their own genitals for sexual arousal and pleasure, and often leads to orgasm. You’ve asked some great questions and I hope the answers will be reassuring! First of all: yes it’s completely normal for girls and women to masturbate. Hi there, and thanks for bringing up this really important topic.
