Looks like everyone is going through another sexist trip . . . I've answered this question before . . . and as usual women ignore the facts . . . . so here it again.\n\nKinsey Report, published more than 50 years ago, approximately 60 per cent of men, compared to 30 per cent of women, were unfaithful to their spouses before the age of 40. \n\nAccording to Maggie Scarf, author of "Intimate Partners," first published in 1987 by Random House, \n"Most experts do consider the 'educated guess' that at the present time some 50 to 65 percent of husbands and 45 to 55 percent of wives become extramaritally involved by the age of 40 to be a relatively sound and reasonable one." \n\nNote that the above adultry statistics of the prevalence of affairs were made more than a decade ago; so based on changes in society during the intervening years, the current percentage of the population who have had affairs is probably somewhat HIGHER. For instance, the continuing increase of women in the workplace means that the numbers for women having affairs is probably similar to those for men—about 60%.\n\nCosmo recently conducted an online poll of 1,000 men and 1,000 women, and 55 percent of guys and a shocking 59 percent of ladies said they have cheated on a partner.

I don't know the exact percentage, but a percentage I use is the old 60-40.\n\n60% of the people in the United States are women\n40% of the people in the United States are men\n\nI use the same calculation for the world too, because men die off sooner then women for many reason.  Some of the reasons are, women have the good cholesterol and men have the bad.  More men die in wars than women.  More men goes to prison than women, which sometimes results to death.  More men ends up walking through dangerous areas of a city than women, which ends up in death.   Women usually tries to avoid dangerous places and if they have to go through the dangerous areas of a city, they end up with a group of women.  A lot more men are alone and has no friends.  Most women has friends, so they can help protect each other.  Since men has fewer or no friends, suicides deaths and just plain deaths are higher.\n\nJust remember, there isn't a higher chance of having a female baby than having a male baby.   You have the same chance 50-50.  Most people don't believe this, they believe that they're a higher chance of having a female baby than male, but not true.  Just more males end up not living as long for the reason I listed above and many more reasons.

I'm not a female but from all my studies in human sexuality both textbook and groups of people, I'm of the mind masturbation is universal in that every human has done this with themselves: It is entirely normal.

My recent rather sketchy research into this very question suggested that for upper body strength women have about 52 percent of the strength of men on average. For lower body (abdomen and legs) this goes up to about 64 percent due to different muscle mass distribution. This info doesn't amount to more than the fruits of a few quick net searches, but I hope it helps.

I think I know why you're asking. Maybe you have a young girlfriend and you're asking for her.\n\nI am talking now of personal experience.\n\nI started masturbating as a child, many years before my period started. When I got my period, I discoverd it while I was masturbating....\n.... that was very disgusting....\nJust as a proof that many girls also masturbate at a young age.\n\nIf a girl masturbates, she knows her body better than a girl that doesn't. I heard many questions like "where to put the tampon" - this is just weird. I also just read a question about that here.... and I answered this girl that she should masturbate to learn more about her body.\n\nBut really, using a tampon has nothing to do with masturbation itself. Using a tampon has in general no pleasing factor. It's not really great to use tampons, you just have to.\n\nThe first time, it could hurt a little, but the girl should carefully read the instructions in the box of the tampons.\nThen it will be alright.

There are cases of women physically abusing men, but it is rarely reported as the men tend to be too embarrassed to report that they have been hit by the women in their lives. It is hard to tell, what the percentage is, again as it is rarely reported, but I believe that it is probably approx. 80/20 percent men abusing women rather than vive versa. Please note that there are other forms of abuse that don't actually involve hitting someone, if the person throws things during a rage, or threatens or intimidates or even simply yelling at someone can be very damaging as it instills fear in their partner.

I agree.  Women have a much harder time reaching climax than the men, so why not get us worked up first and then we will gladly assist our man.

I'm 30-something yrs. old....and I still mastubate from time to time.  It's not possible to ruin your sex life by mastubating all those.  You say no man can please you, I don't think that's possible.  You just haven't found the right man to hit that certain spot yet.

I am a women, but I've read about this in one of my classes and men do NEED to orgasm because the need to release there "stuff" its not healthy for a man to not ejaculate, otherwise it will build up and its true. If you google it you will see on legitimate sites and I've heard from doctors also that men do need to release.
