The art of the feminine masturbation
Women enjoy giving themselves pleasure. The report of the famous American sex therapist Shere Hite, who, in the 1970s, conducted a survey of women all across the United States, showed this. How they do their masturbation is also something this study tried to learn. Here are some results and testimonies extracted from the "Hite report".
3 000 women anonymously answered this comprehensive questionnaire of feminine sexuality (orgasm, sexual intercourse, clitoris, masturbation). 82% declared that they masturbated, and, among them, 95% had no trouble reaching orgasm every time they wanted it. All this, according to the sex therapist, contradicted the usually accepted idea that women are "slow to start", and that they have difficulty in reaching orgasm. Over all, the inquiry allowed six types of masturbation to be distinguished (with some variants).
In the very great majority of the cases (73%), the woman manually excites the clitoral region and/or vulva while lying on her back.
"I use my finger to stimulate the clitoris, sometimes inserting another finger into my vagina at the same time. I touch only my genital area when I masturbate";
"I masturbate by manipulating my clitoris in a side to side massaging manner, starting gently and increasing in intensity of pressure. I use my
finger (one hand). The motion is slightly circular combined with side to side, mainly";
"I masturbate with my fingers on my clitoris, and other fingers gently pinching, pulling, scratching, across the surface of my nipples. Sometimes I rub up and down, sometimes in circles. And my legs are sometimes together, and sometimes apart. It is especially exciting to hold my hand still and get the friction by movement of the body against the stationary finger".
The woman can also lie upon her stomach on the bed (5.5%).
"When masturbating, I lie on my stomach with my legs slightly apart, using both hands, the knuckles of the right hand providing the direct pressure to the mons, with the left hand adding more pressure to the right hand. The motion of a moderately rapid front-to-back movement provides the clitoral friction I need";
"I masturbate on my stomach with my legs together, pressing on my clitoris with the fingers of both hands (index and middle fingers), one on top of the other. Sometimes I fondle my breasts or buttocks with one hand, or insert my fingers into my vagina, but not usually";
"Then I turn onto my stomach. I begin to use a circular motion with two fingers on my clitoris and occasionally an up and down motion with my clitoris between my fingers. With my right hand I check to see if my vagina is wet, and fantasize. I continue to stimulate my clitoris with my left hand and then insert two fingers into my vagina";
"I kind of hold the vibrator more or less steady under me as I lie face
down, and move my body on and around it".
Certain women rub themselves on an object without touching themselves with their hands. The object may be soft or hard. (4%).
"I make a clump in the bedding about the size of a fist (I used to use the head of my poor teddy bear, but since I became too old to sleep with a teddy bear, a wad of the sheets has to suffice) and then lie on my stomach on top of it so that it exerts pressure on my clitoris. I then move my hips in a circular motion until I climax very simple";
"I don't masturbate. Well, a little rubbing against the sheets
maybe";
"Usually I masturbate on the corner of a chair or something similar with a pillow between my legs. I hump up and down with my legs together. I
discovered this method by accident as a child of four";
"I draw myself up slowly against a bathroom sink, and press my mons against it very hard. The sink is stimulating because it is cold. Sometimes I revolve my legs to press harder, and sometimes 'flap' them to vibrate the vulva";
Others tighten their thighs rhythmically, in a repeated way (3%).
"When I masturbate, I sit up in a chair or on the bed, cross my legs right over left at the knees and use the pressure of my inner thighs, exerting all the energy in my body and centering it in my genitals."
"I masturbate by rubbing my thighs together, usually lying down, but it can be done sitting up (in an office, on a bus, etc.). I rub them rhythmically, putting subtle pressure on the clitoris. The tension gradually builds to an orgasm".
They can also massage their genital region with some water (2 %)."I masturbate with shower water only. I aim it at my clitoris, legs spread apart";
"I lie in the tub on my back with a stream of very warm water on my vagina, mons, and clitoris. The harder the pressure and hotter the water, the quicker the orgasm";
"I remove the head from my shower to allow a steady stream of water to come out. I open the vaginal lips, exposing my clitoris";
Only a few women use only vaginal penetration (1.5%) and more half of these stimulate their clitoral areas first manually.
"I put one finger on my clitoris and with the other hand I move a bottle
in and out of my vagina (a plastic bottle)";
"My husband works a dildo in and out of my vagina while I press a vibrator to my clitoris";
"I usually use a back and forth movement in my vagina, or just hold my
fingers there for a while".
Finally, 11 % of the women having answered the questionnaire combine some of these techniques to end in the orgasm.
" I masturbate of many manners. On the back in the bathtub, on my bed, on the divan, on the floor and everything crosses my bosoms, my stomach, my thighs, my buttocks, my vagina and my clitoris there. I like rolling my clitoris between the thumb and the index, a finger in the vagina and playing with my bosoms and with my nipples, which I find very beautiful. So by loving me I let wander my imagination. I also like varying my caresses with a vibrator ".
