Quickie: How Often Do People Really Masturbate?
Self-service survey reveals how much we prioritize intimate me-time
Everyone masturbates; we all know this. But how often do we really dedicate time to self-service?
Adam & Eve recently conducted a survey of 1,000 people and the following were the responses the sex toy company received:
- Once or twice a week (22 percent)
- Never (17 percent)
- Once or twice a month (12 percent)
- Daily (9 percent)
- Less than every few months (7.5 percent)
- Every few months (7 percent)
- More than once a day (3 percent)
Although most survey respondents were forthcoming about their masturbation habits, a whopping 21 percent preferred not to answer the question. But no matter how much you masturbate, or how comfortable you feel talking about it, you reap the rewards of this self-loving practice just the same.
“Masturbation is a safe, healthy, wonderful way to practice self-care,” said Adam & Eve’s resident sexologist Dr. Jenni Skyler. “With benefits both mental and physical, solitary sex can reduce stress and tension, boost immunity, and improve sleep. Plus, it feels good!”
