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.


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).
