BBC News - Lily Allen: 'Women masturbating in a relationship isn't wrong'
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-54712504
Discuss.
I'd like to disagree with the comment about people getting more reserved as they get older. I'm around the same age as Ms Allen, but my friends and I would disagree with masturbation being taboo for women nowadays. We've become more open as we've got older.....

I think it's still quite taboo and it might be because I'm prudish but I don't really want to hear about Arabella fucking herself with her hairbrush and some organic coconut oil as I'm enjoying my caramelatte extra foam. Yes, women should enjoy self love - that's healthy and important for everyone regardless of gender/how they identify but I don't think we need to hear the ins and outs of everyone's sex life.
I do think in our personal relationships it's something we should be more comfortable with discussing and I don't think the stigma around it (re not being fulfilled sexually because you fancy a wank after a good fuck) are fair or accurate. Masturbation on the whole is seen as this inherently private thing and often poked fun at in the media and whilst I don't think we should have too much openness surrounding it, more acceptance is never a bad thing. |

You're young OP. It's different for my generation *leans on zimmer thoughtfully*
I think it depends on your friendship circle. I'm sure some women chat about wanking but I'm the same as Meli in that I don't want or need to chat about that stuff with randoms. I'd possibly discuss it with a sex partner but only for wank chat. I am perfectly capable of having a wank if I want to. Can't see the point in telling my pals over a kit kat. But then I don't discuss the rest of my sex life with anyone else either. In 'real life' I stay well away from the type of people who want to discuss their sex life. |

I don't see that it's an issue for women in particular. There are only some men I would talk to about masturbation. I'm very grateful nobody at work has ever come in and said "I had a fantastic wank with my Fleshlight last night" even though I don't think masturbation is in any way shameful.
It strikes me that some people are happy talking about it with certain people and others aren't. I haven't seen anything that makes me think it's worse for a particular age group or gender. Luke |

I have some friends that I'd happily discuss it with, and some that I wouldn't - I wouldn't say age has altered that, I've always been very open with people that I trust, and I've always been happy to discuss anything regarding sex with boyfriends/partners. |
