Quarter of Women Prefer Masturbation To Sex | Men's Health Magazine Australia

This is How Many Women Prefer Masturbating To Sex

It’s natural to think you might not be doing enough to satisfy your partner. The pressure of making sure she orgasms is only compounded by the thought of premature ejaculation. 

Now, a new study has put us all to shame: one in every four women would prefer to rub one off than have sex.

In a survey featuring nearly 1000 people, Superdrug Online Doctor researched the masturbation habits of men and women. 

While the majority of us are partial to a bit of self-love, its our habits that have the scientists quizzed. From the poll, 96 per cent of men did the deed four times a week while a surprising 88 per cent of women took part two days a week.  When it came to how, 60 per cent of women preferred their hand to a toy while 90 cent of men literally tugged.

Most interestingly, the study found that females didn’t need material nearly as much as men. Only 38 per cent of women had to watch porn compared to nearly twice as much men. Funnily, when it came to fantasising for women, 14 per cent thought about their partner, 12 per cent about a stranger and 6 per cent about a friend (maybe someone close to home wants to be more than friends?) 

However, there is one stat they have in common: A quarter of both sexes had done in public – 15 per cent at work and 15 per cent at a friend’s house.

But just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, think again. Sorry fellas, but 56 per cent of women had better orgasms when they flew solo instead of sex. 

We’re guessing you’re feeling a bit self conscious right about now. Fear not, check out the easy way to help her orgasm every time
