Women are quite comfortable talking about their intimate life with a partner but masturbation remains a taboo topic for most of them.
According to the results of Japanese magazine Cyzo, women in their 20s and 30s consider masturbation acceptable for men only, while only 56 percent of them said that masturbation is natural for them.
Many women were not only confused to talk about masturbation but considered this experience "embarrassing","dirty" and for lonely and desperate women only.
Japanese sex therapist Kim Myung Gun said that an uneasy feeling most women have about masturbation are connected with their unconscious fears to disclose their inner self. While for men , masturbation is accompanied by ejaculation, for women "all the pleasure remains inside them" and thus consider that talking about this practice means revealing their inner self.
Dr. Kim said that family environment has its crucial impact on woman's attitude towards masturbation. If for example, a girl grew up in a family were parents didn't get on well and mother displays a negative attitude towards men, she can become more inhibited in her approach to masturbation and sex in general.
Dr Kunio Kitamura, working in Japan Family Clinic Association Clinic studied the peculiarities of men's and woman's sexuality and said women are too shy when it comes to their own pleasure. Many women who come to Dr. Kitamura are concerned about their performance in bed and fear that men can consider them "cold". However, almost all women who masturbate can reach orgasm. Thus women who are afraid of practicing self-love may never have a chance to know their sexual responses and direct a man to achieve maximum pleasure.
