  1%? If that were true anywhere in the world, you'd think that the dildo purveyors would have gone out of business. Maybe I should pitch a book fashioned after the kids book 'everybody poops' and call it 'everybody jerks it'. Don't believe anything you see on the TV these days......

    Would you care to give us a more realistic guess? Most women I know (and with whom I can talk about this openly) don't do it daily :)

      Well, you know, I don't talk about jerking off with my male friends much less my female friends...I can live without asking such pressing questions such as frequency of masturbation, but anyone who believes that 49% of women don't ever masturbate probably also believe women are servile and only put on this earth to serve men. Here's one site that suggests 6% almost 30 years ago [the-clitoris.com] which would likely mean even more these days. Even the Kinsey report was far higher than that. Even without the threat of hairy pal

        I dont actually believe that number of 1% ; just that one 1% actually admits of doing it. It's still a taboo (especially among women). For some reason I find it easier to discuss with female friends than with male friends :) One guest on the show (and I'm not saying I agree but merely mention it to add another view) claimed that he found that the women he knew who did, were better in bed. In some way I can understand this claim since it's muy importante to understand your own body! (Is it obvious I've been

          If that were true, how come guys aren't all magnificent in bed? Huh? :) I also think Nancy Friday is mostly bollocks.

            I never claimed all MEN were excellent in bed because they masturbated.. I stated that the guest claimed most women he knew were better :) I will skip the analogies about riding a bike or a car and having sex (because I wouldn't want to get you psyched up :) )

                So? I remember some statistic in the same program about men in a serious relationship (which I presume marriage is) and masturbation... but I always seem to forget those numbers (especially after eating tons of chocolat cake!)

                  Well, while I was on my honeymoon of sorts, I remember a newsbite mentioning that 50%+ or so of men jerk it on their honeymoon whereupon I looked across the bed and got a goofy smile. I really should write that book with cute kiddie pics...'everybody jerks it, baby, yeah!'

    yes I know.. I saw the film in the mid 80's when it was on TV. Since I mentioned 9/11 was NOT the temperature, I already knew where the title of the book came from :)

      No, that's not what you mentioned. You mentioned:
      
      (for some reason is 9/11 not the temperature paper ignates)
      
      which I took to be a question.
      
      Translation problem, rather? Sorry for the misunderstanding.
