30 something woman here, apparently I masturbate a lot compared to my friends.
I have to say “yeah once a week too” when they raise the subject ,when in fact it is multiple times a day. Husband would also do 2 times a day if he kept to his “normal” cadence. I know “whatever works for me” is right, but I’d like to compare to other people my age that aren’t my friends.


Mid 30s, Male. Usually 1 or 2 times a day, more often 1.
Has it been fairly constant at that amount? Or has it changed over time?
Pretty much constant. When I was younger and had nothing to do (and/or was on research stims) could sometimes do it more.
I basically never have so little to do anymore though. It’s also kind of messy to deal with as a guy, which is a deterrent, and after 3-4 times in a day it simply isn’t appealing.
Same as him. 1-2 times a day has been typical from puberty to age 36 now, never changed lol.
Not the guy you replied to but at a similar cadence and age: definitely down. Teenage me could do 7/8 but minimum of 3 usually. 20s I would usually still be in the 3-5 range depending on work, now 1-2. All of those with the caveat that if I was having sex I was masturbating less bc sex lasts longer and is more satisfying, but it didn’t cut it entirely, which it can now (but not always).
