To Masturbate or Not?
For some just the thought of the word ‘masturbation’ makes their stomach turn. It seems more acceptable when a teenage boy chooses to masturbate, but unheard of that a teenage girl may also have the same desire. So why is there so much shame around this? - Does religion, culture, society etc, have a part to play? Maybe it has something to do with the way many of us were taught about sex.
I have spoken to many men who say that they often masturbate in the toilet, in secret, without their partner knowing. Sometimes they masturbate to images that they find sexually pleasing, but feel too ashamed to share with their partner. This can have an affect on their relationship, if they are turned on by images on a screen and not able to include their partner in this fantasy.
Have a read of the article I featured in, in the Metro Online about masturbation. What are your thoughts?
