Masturbation Statistics

19 06 2008

I received this email from Gay.com I hope they don’t mind that I’m posting it for my blog but I thought it was rather interesting and fun to read. If you have anything interesting or fun to share, please post it.

Startling masturbation survey results!

To celebrate National Masturbation Month in May, Gay.com ran a series
of truly unique and provocative surveys about solo sex.
We got real, asking how you do it, when you do it, where you do it.
Naked or clothed? Lights on or off? Whom do you tell? Ever been
caught?

Just to make it more interesting, we even asked readers to forward
the surveys to their lesbian and straight friends, so they could
answer, too.

Well, the results are in — and all we can say is WOW!

29,341 people took our surveys during the month of May, and the grand
total of answers to our four surveys (with a total of 49 questions
each for gay guys, straight guys, straight girls and lesbians)? A
whopping 338,730.

The results were surprising, to say the least. Some of the more eye-
opening stats:

41 percent of straight men have masturbated in a gym locker room –
while only 34 percent of gay men have.

51 percent of gay men say they masturbate more when they are in a
relationship.

53 percent of gay men say they masturbate once a day.

More straight people (17 percent of men and 15 percent of women) find
masturbation more enjoyable than having sex. In contrast, 8 percent
of gay men and 8 percent of lesbians prefer masturbation to having
sex with a partner.

Women moan: 33 percent of straight women and 34 percent of lesbians
say they’re moaners, opposed to 19 percent of straight men and 16
percent of gay men.

67 percent of straight men and 63 percent of gay men have masturbated
at work. 52 percent of straight women have done the deed on the job –
but only 39 percent of lesbians have.

“Mention a masturbation survey, and everyone giggles at first,” says
Gay.com’s health and fitness editor. “But once people saw that tens
of thousands of others were responding, it really took off.

“When gay men started forwarding these surveys to their straight and
lesbian friends, we were amazed at the momentous response we got –
and the answers were extremely unexpected!”
