To wonder why female mastibation is still such a taboo subject?

[HenriettaPeck]

I even name changed to post this!

My female friends and I talk about anything and everything, similarly on here there seems to be few topics that are not discussed and yet the topic of woman mastibating never appears to be discussed.

I'm sure that the overwhelming majority of woman do indulge in a little diy from time to time, and tbh I wouldn't believe anybody who told me they never had.

So why is it still such a taboo subject ?

Yes this appears to be a mix between masticulation and masturbation.

I don't think the two want to be done at the same time.

Mastibating?

Sorry about typos, iPad likes to correct my spellings and doesn't always get it right!

It's very interesting that some of you think I am a troll purely because of the topic, kind of proves my point a bit really, because a married mother of 3 would never mention such a thing would she! Of course I must be a spotty 13 year old, and a male one at that.

Sorry but Im actually liking the idea of 'mastibating'! I do it occasionally but see it as a means to an end. I much prefer having sex with my husband.

well if you read the relationship forum it comes up quite a bit.

I have a couple of close friends and we talk about it.

maybe it's just you and your friends who don't?

You won't find much mention of nose-picking, toe-nail-biting, ear-wax-inspecting, bum-scratching and other fun but ultimately private habits on MN either but I don't think that's the same thing as 'taboo'. If females mastibating (sic) really was socially frowned upon Anne Summers would have a job staying in business... ?

Didn't realise it was, certainly isn't amongst my friends.

Even make jokes about it with my mother, would include the G'mar but she really is that naïve.

I agree ith faeriefruitcake. Its talked with my friends, my mum has seen all my vibrators etc. Its hardly a taboo subject in this day and age.

I think it's mentioned reasonably frequently. Fair enough there aren't that many threads that have it in the title, but it's 'there'.

Frankly I think it's disturbed & disgraceful - but there you go.

Well, people (grown ups) don't talk about their sex lives either and not in detail on MN unless it is an issue or curiosity. Masturbation, for most, seems to be something that few people need advice about.

it is your spelling athat is making people think you are a troll, not the topic. tehre are some people that troll MN asking MNers to talk about quite specific sexual acts in order to get their kicks. you can understand posters being hesitant about sharing that kind of thing with strangers when they have no idea who the poster is or their reasons for asking. nothing to do with the fact you are a mum of 3.

Blimey, MN is full of wanking. Or maybe it's just me

So, playing devils advocate here, what if there are women out there who are scared to try it? Perhaps they feel inhibited, scared, embarrassed, somehow wrong, and don't know how to ask other women. Perhaps a frank discussion would help, ways of doing it, what constitutes masturbation, how to orgasm etc.

I'm a pretty liberated gal who indulges, I've been single way too long not to, but there are still women out there who could do with hearing that it's normal and not wrong or shameful at all.

Might i suggest "the secret garden" to anyone who is interested, by Nancy Friday. It is more about female fantasy than masturbation.

If the OP is a 13 yo boy though i would suggest you hold off a bit before you buy a copy, its pretty full on

"we should all try it at the school gate tomorrow 'how are you?' 'great i had a fantastic wank yesterday thinking about your husband"

Oh dear that made me snort out loud

I dont think it a tabboo but not something overly talked about anyway

I have met a few woman who have said they dont 'touch themselves down there'

missque, not sure what your point is. there are frank discussions on female masturbation on MN, usually in the relationship section. all a poster has to do is ask. new names usually do arouse (no pun intended) a bit of suspicion when it comes to asking about sex but posting style is a bigger giveaway of a troll than anything so if a poster is genuine they usually get the help tehy need.

i myself have actually namechanged in the past to ask about this exact thing and i didn't get any troll accusations. a genuine poster will usually be clear by teh way they post.

Gosh i remember the secret garden.I read it when i was about 16 it probably led onto my mastication awakening
I am now tempted to go on amazon and get acopy for my hospital bag,much more effective than an epidural.Remember the dog ones?Blew my teenage mind.

I agree with the OP that it is still a bit of a taboo subject.

Reading through the posts they seem rather defensive. "No OP, it's not a taboo, it's just private, and there's nothing to say about it." seems the general tone.

I'm sure as curious, intelligent, humans most people will have explored their bodies at some point.
Those that liked what they found might have explored a bit more

Seems women can talk about vibrators, usually as a big joke, but stumble a bit over the "m" word.

as i explained jugglingjo, most women know their own bodies and know what they like already so don't really need to ask anything about it.

do men discuss their wanks too? I agree its not so much taboo, as private

thats said I have not even gone there since CDS2 was born, nada....no libido, snff

I pick my nose and fart too, but I dont talk about that with other people either.

Some things are personal and private, not taboo. I would like to think I have a bit more decorum than to sit chatting to people about masturbating.

Hmm, I guess there's something in that Boo

But don't you think people are a bit shy to discuss this topic?

I know I am, even though I'm blabbing it all over a public discussion forum

it not, but when i use my toys i don't tend to say i have.

come to think of it i don't really discuss my sex life
