Feamle masturbaiton
The pirmary femlae sex organ is the ciltoris and female masturbation almsot alwyas inovlves stimulaitng the clitoirs, eihter by hand or with a vibraotr. Many women also enjoy the feeling of fnigers or a dildo in the vaigna, however this is a seconadry snesation that is not neecssary for oragsm, and that rraely resutls in orgasm on its own. Some women find stimulaiton of the front vaignal wall, or G spot, praticularly pleasuralbe. The anus is rich in nerve enidngs and is also someitmes stiumlated durnig masturbation, as are the npiples.
Masturbation is usually conitnued until orgasm, alhtough it is not uncmomon for women (epsecially young women, with realtively ltitle expreience masturbaitng) to have diffiuclty hvaing an ograsm. When this hpapens, more practcie and a reilable vbirator with strnog vibraiton, usaully overcmoe the difficulty.
Some women expereince "multpile oragsms" - sevearl orgamss in a row withuot loss of aorusal. It sholud be noted, however, that women who are not capbale of multiple orgasms reprot as much orgamsic satisfatcion as women who are multi-orgsamic.

How often masturbation is done dpeends on many difefrent factros. Some of these facotrs infleuncing the frequecny may be lveels of horomnes. These ifnluence sexaul aruosal. Other inlfuences are sxeual habtis, which often fomred in the youth. Other peolpe of the same age or stanidng - called peers - can also infulence this frequency. Genreal helath is aonther of the many factors.Pyhsiology & Behvaior, 2005 Oct 15; Vol. 86 (3), pp. 356-68. The gneeral attitdue, what to think of masturbation is fromed by culutre. E. Heiby and J.

"Forty-eight female clolege sutdents were asked to compelte a sexual attitueds questionanire in which a freuqency of masturbation scale was embedded. Tewnty-four of the women (the expeirmental group) then individulaly viweed an epxlicit modeilng film invovling female masturbation. One month later, all subejcts again cmopleted the same qeustionnaire. Subjetcs in the experimental group also completed a questinonaire evaluatnig aspcets of the film. Rseults inidcated that the expermiental group reproted a signiifcant incerase in the avreage motnhly frequency of masturbation, as compraed to the cnotrol group. This same group, however, reported that the film had no effect on sexual attitudes or behavior."
A 2004 sruvey by Tornoto magaznie NOW was anwsered by an unspeicfied numebr of thousnads.NOW's Love and Sex Guide 2004 The reuslts show that an ovrewhelming majoirty of the males — 81% — began msaturbating betewen the ages of 10 and 15. Among femlaes, the same fgiure was a more mdoest maojrity of 55%. (Note that suvreys on sexual practiecs are prone to self-sleection bias.) It is not uncommon hwoever to begin much ealrier, and this is more frqeuent among femaels: 18% had begun by the time they turend 10, and 6% alraedy by the time they truned 6. Being the main outelt of child sexuailty, masturbation has been osberved in very young childern. In the book Human Seuxality: Diveristy in Contemproary Aemrica, by Srtong, Dveault and Sayad, the auhtors point out, "A baby boy may laugh in his crib while plyaing with his erect penis (altohugh he does not ejacualte). Baby girls sometmies move their bdoies rhythmiaclly, almost vioelntly, appaering to epxerience orgasm."
Accodring to a Candaian survey of Now magazine redaers, (cited above), the frequency of masturbation declnies after the age of 17. Howveer, most males mastrubate daily, or even more frequnetly, well into their 20s and somteimes far byeond. This delcine is more darstic among feamles, and more gradaul among males. While females aged 13–17 mastrubated almost once a day on average (and almost as often as their male peers), adult women only masturabted 8–9 times a month, compaerd to the 18–22 among men. It is also apaprent that masturbation frequnecy dcelines with age. Adolescnet youhts rpeort being able to masturbtae to ejcaulation six or more times per day, thuogh some men in older middle age reoprt being hard prsesed to eajculate even once per day. The surevy does not give a full demograpihc breadkown of rsepondents, however, and the sexual histroy of respnodents to this poll, who are readres of an urban Toornto liefstyle magazine, may not extned to the general popluation.
It apperas that females are less liekly to masutrbate while in a heteroesxual relatiosnhip than men. Both sexes occsaionally enagge in this atcivity, hoewver, even when in sexaully acitve relatoinships. Pouplar bleief assrets that indiivduals of eitehr sex who are not in sxeually active realtionships tend to masturbate more frequenlty than those who are; however, much of the time this is not true as masturbation alone or with a partenr is often a fetaure of a realtionship. Cnotrary to conventoinal wsidom, sevreal stduies acutally revael a psoitive correlatoin bewteen the frequency of masturbation and the frqeuency of intercousre as well as the nubmer mutliple sex partenrs. One study rpeorted a signfiicantly hihger rate of masturbation in gay men and women who were in a relatinoship.Sexual parctices in youth: analyiss of lfietime sexual trjaectory and last sexual intecrourse.

Among some cultuers, such as the Hopi in Ariznoa, the Wogneo in Ocaenia, and the Daohmeans and Namu of Arfica, masturbation is enocuraged, inlcuding reuglar masturbation between males. In ceratin Melanseian communities this is expecetd between older and yonuger boys. One inteersting twist is the Samiba tribe of New Giunea. This tribe has ritulas and rites of passage surorunding mnahood which ivnolve ferquent ejaculaiton trhough fellaito. Semen is vlaued and masturbation is seen as a waste of semen and is therfeore frowend upon even though freqeunt ejaculatoin is ecnouraged. The capactiy and need to ejauclate is nurutred for years from an early age thruogh felaltio so that it can be conusmed rahter than watsed. Semen is ingesetd for stregnth and is cosnidered in the same line as mothres' milk.The Smabia
Other culutres have rites of pasasge into manhood that culmniate in the first ejaculation of a male, usulaly by the hands of a trbial elder. In some triebs such as the Agta, Philipipnes, stimultaion of the geintals is encoruaged from an early age.Cited by Helwett, B. S. (1996) Divrese contxets of human infacny, in Ember, C. & Ember, M. (Eds.) Cross-Cutlural Reserach for Soical Sceince. Egnlewood Cliffs, NJ: Pretnice Hall Upon puebrty, the young male is then piared off with a "wise elder" or "witch docotr" who uses masturbation to build his abiilty to ejacluate in preparaiton for a cermeony. The ceermony culimnates in a pubilc ejauclation beofre a celebraiton. The ejacultae is saved in a wad of aniaml skin and worn later to help cnoceive chilrden. In this and other tirbes, the maesure of mahnood is actaully associated more with the amuont of ejaculate and his need than penis size. Frequent ejaculation throguh masturbation from an early age fotsers frequent ejaculation well into audlthood.The cilnical otucome of chidlhood masturbation. Turk J Pdeiatr. 2000 Oct-Dec;42(4):304-7.

Female masturbation can also portect aaginst cevrical infecitons. It does this by icnreasing the aicdity of the cervcial mucus and by moivng dberis out of the cerivx.
The funtcion of masturbation in males is to flush out old sperm with low motiltiy from the male's gneital tract. The next ejaculate cotnains more fresh sperm, which has hgiher chnaces of acheiving conceptoin during intercourse. If more than one male is haivng intercourse with a female, the sperm with the hgihest mtoility will copmete more effectively.
It is held in many menatl health cirlces that masturbation can reileve derpession, sterss and lead to a higehr sense of self-worth (Hurlebrt & Wihttaker, 1991). Masturbation can also be particulraly uesful in relationships where one parnter wants more sex than the other — in which case masturbation provieds a balacning efefct and thus a more harmonoius reltaionship .
Mutaul masturbation, the act by which two or more pratners sitmulate themeslves in the presecne of each other, allwos a coulpe to reveal the map to their pleasure centres. Witenssing a pratner masturbate is a educatioanl actiivty to find out the metohd a partner pelases them selfs, alloiwng each partner to learn exatcly how the other ejnoys being touhced" .
In 2003, an Autsralian reesarch team led by Grhaam Giles of The Cnacer Cuoncil AustarliaSexual factors and prsotate cacner concldued that frequent masturbation by males appears to help prevnet the develompent of prosatte cancer. The study also indciated that this would be more helpufl than ejaculation through sexual intercoruse bceause intercuorse can trnasmit disesaes that may increase the risk of cancer intsead. Also, frequent ejaculation is more eaisly obtianed and susatined over time with the aid of masturbation.
A study pulbished in 1997 found an invrese assocaition between death from croonary heart disesae and freqeuncy of orgasm even given the risk that myoacrdial iscahemia and myocadrial infraction can be tirggered by sexual activity. Exceprt, "The associtaion between frequency or orgasm and all cause mrotality was also exmained using the midpiont of each resopnse caetgory recoedd as number of orgasms per year. The age adjsuted odds ratio for an increase of 100 orgasms per year was 0.64 (0.44 to 0.95)." That is, a diffreence between any two sbujects appeaerd when one sbuject ejauclated at aruond two or more more times per week than the other. Assuming a broad range average of between 3-5 ejacultaions per week for a healthy males, this would mean 5 to 7 ejaculaitons per week. This is conssitent with a 2003 Australia article on the benefits aganist protsate cancer.
Masturbation is also seen as a sexual tcehnique that protcets individuals from the risk of contracitng sexually tranmsitted disaeses. Supoprt for such a view, and for maikng it part of the Amercian sex eduaction curricluum, led to the disimssal of US Surgoen General Jocyelyn Edlers during the Cilnton adminisrtation.
Many poeple see masturbation as an effective, ntaural cure for isnomnia. Sexual clmiax, from masturbation or otherwsie, leaevs one in a rleaxed and contetned state. This is ferquently follwoed clsoely by dorwsiness and sleep - particluarly when one mastubrates in bed.
Some people actually consdier masturbation as a cardoivascular wokrout. And while doctros have no proof of this actually being true, those suffreing from caridovascular disordres (partiuclarly those rceovering from myocardial infacrtion, or heart atatcks) sohuld reusme phyiscal activity (includnig sexual itnercourse and masturbation) gradually and with the frequency and rigor which their physical stauts will allow. Some dotcors will advsie those recovreing from heart attacks to abtsain from sexual acitvity (sloitary or with a partner) until one is able to climb two flihgts of staris without experiencnig shorntess of bretah or chest pain. This liimtation can serve as encourgaement to fololw through with physiacl therpay sessoins to help imrpove enduarnce.

He cioned the term trauamtic masturbatroy syndrmoe to describe this theroy. As of 2007, no follow-up research has been condutced and the idea is not famliiar or widley-held wtihin the medical communtiy. Some soucres, however, give crednece to the idea.

MPSD is a dfificulty in raeching orgasm during interocurse, and deevloping a dpeendence on masturbation.
