The attitude towards child masturbation has also been revised (previously it was considered to have a negative impact on the sexual development of the child).

At the present time masturbation is quite common. According to sexological surveys, 92-92% men and 62-82% women have practiced masturbation at least once in their lives. Recently, the percentage of women who periodically practice masturbation continues to grow.

It is also worth noting the improvement in society's attitude towards female masturbation. Since sexuality was recognized as a beneficial and necessary element of femininity, the recognition of sexual sensations was recognized as a legitimate right of every woman. Because of this, many ladies have stopped feeling shame and guilt about the need for masturbation and similar experiences. And yet, talking about this topic is still uncomfortable.

According to many women, they are not against masturbation, but: they do not have a need for it/they think masturbation is allowed only for others/they are afraid of getting an infection/or they still masturbate, but are embarrassed to tell their partner about it.

As a consequence, many ladies practicing self-satisfaction (full in every sense and happy in their personal lives) try not to admit to this activity, and sometimes may even abstain from it, because, being under the impression of this opinion, do not experience pleasant sensations.

Masturbation is also useful for those women whose sexual needs exceed the needs and capabilities of their partners.

Another argument "for" in favor of masturbation is that it helps to unlock a woman's sexuality, pre-forming, so to speak, a woman's ability to experience orgasm. Mechanical stimulation of erogenous zones helps to discover the most sensitive places, the stimulation of which will accelerate the approach of orgasm. This is why experts often recommend masturbation to treat all kinds of orgasmic dysfunctions.

Women may use self-stimulation techniques that are difficult or even impossible to reproduce in intercourse. For example, they strongly contract their thighs and tense their perineal muscles. This method of masturbation is often discovered in childhood, and in the subsequent time is actively used. In itself, it is not harmful, but long-term such practice contributes to the fixation of a woman on this option to achieve orgasm, as a result of which she may have difficulties with it during normal sexual intercourse. This problem is solvable - with the help of a competent sexologist to whom it will be necessary to apply.

It is also worth mentioning the harm caused by "excessive" masturbation. Here it is important to define what is excessive. The frequency of masturbation is directly proportional to the sexual potential of a person, so there is no need to talk about the norm, one for all. It is very unlikely that masturbation aimed at achieving pleasure can harm a woman's health, even if from someone's point of view it seems excessive.
