For many women, achieving an orgasm is difficult. Some of this comes from the differences between the sex drives of men and women, but some of it also comes from the idea that women don’t always know what it is that they really like during sex. A way to get past that and have a better understanding of your own body is to masturbate. A lot of people still think that this is an immature and shameful activity, but most scientists have now said that this is a myth that should be put to rest. Most women do masturbate, and some of them do it quite frequently. On average, though, they don’t do it as often as men do, especially when men are younger and their sexual urges are stronger.
Women can masturbate simply by touching themselves or they can use some kind of sexual toy or aid. Either way works. The key is to find what you like so that you can achieve orgasm more often. When you get comfortable with your own body you’ll be more receptive to receiving pleasure from your partner and you’ll likely be more receptive to giving pleasure, too, because you’ll feel more comfortable with yourself. Practicing masturbation to achieve orgasm is a natural part of the lives of most women, and is no cause for shame. It’s perfectly normal.
