Below are some statistics regarding female masturbation. I present this information so that people may be able to see what others do, in hopes that they may possibly learn from the experiences of others. These statistics in no way define what is normal, only what is average, and the range of diversity between peoples experiences and habits. Be careful to note the dates the data was collected. Female masturbation habits have changed drastically over the past 50 years.
