SEX: 8 Things You Should Know About MASTURBATION

Gourmandize

Masturbation in 2016 is hardly a taboo subject. While it used to be more socially acceptable for men to discuss or engage in this act of self-love, more and more women are willing to admit that they really enjoy a good sack session with themselves. We can probably thank Sex and The City for that, right? Here are 8 things you never knew about this perfectly normal sexual activity.

1. There's no such thing as too much

According to the American Psychiatric Association, there's nothing wrong with pleasuring yourself as much as you want—just as long as it doesn't interfere with work, your personal life or well-being. 

2. higher testosterone levels increases frequency

Women contain BOTH estrogen AND testosterone, in case you didn't know. If the latter hormones are higher than usual, you're more likely to masturbate (but don't worry, that doesn't mean you'll grow chest hair).

3. Your beloved rabbit was born out of japanese prudishness 

Yep, that's right. Penis-shaped sex toys are illegal in Japan, so manufacturers created toys in the form of animals to disguise their true function. Hence, the rabbit was born.

4. it helps relieve menstrual cramps

Enough said.

5. Sex increases frequency of masturbation

All the more reason to keep getting busy!

6. Animals do it, too

Birds, deer, horses, female apes, squirrels and even WALRUSES have been caught in the act.

7. You are not alone

Like we said, women masturbate. According to research, 92% to be exact. So keep on keeping on! 

8. You'll still be doing it when you're 60

Good news for anyone worried about getting old. A 2010 Kinsey study showed that about 30% of women in relationships aged 60 to 69 still get handy with themselves. And women's sex drive reportedly increases with age. Talk about having things to look forward to ;)
