Never is plausible, like religious guilt or whatever, but who the hell is masturbating once per year? Birthday treat? Christmas present?

Is “Did not masturbate” supposed to be “Do not masturbate?” ‘Cause I think we could all legitimately claim we “did not” masturbate if given the right qualification (e.g., “I did not masturbate in the last hour,” or “I did not masturbate in the clock tower”).

Color me skeptical, but these “studies” are very likely to be utter bullshit.
But they are fucking clickbait jackpots.
Take them seriously at your own risk.

I thought women have a sex drive as high as men if not higher?
I’m also interested in how “more than once a day” would look on the graph.

I’m actually surprised only 30% admit to going daily. Not to self report, but I really thought it was the most common amongst single people.

90% of men: once weekly or more
69% of women: once weekly or more
Edit to conclude: Americans sure like to cum.

Honestly, I would like to meet the people who are above 30 and have never masturbated. What is their life like that that impulse has never been scratched.

Once a year? How does that work? Looks at calendar. “Oh shit, I nearly forgot tomorrow is MASTURBATION DAY!”

30% of the time, I masturbate everyday. The other 70% more.

The “once a year” people is what I’m having the hardest time with.
Like… is it a special occasion when it happens? Do they make plans?
Or is it like an old song you used to like and the idea to listen to it pops into you head randomly?

LOL. Too many of you are considering “not masturbating” the same as “not orgasming”… you guys realize there’s other ways to get off that don’t require you to do it yourself right?

Hi! As someone who masturbates very infrequently (1-2x a year) it’s because i’m on life saving medication that makes me have 0 libido and also anorgasmia. I don’t really have any reason to masturbate, and the times I do it’s the very very rare occasion I have a tiny bit of libido, or i’m trying to fall asleep and think “eh, I’ll try again and maybe it will help”. The sessions normally only last about 4-5 minutes before I get bored or tired. I don’t really mind it though. I have sex with my partner and it really makes me happy to see them enjoying themselves! The fact that I can give them lots of pleasure gives me lots of satisfaction and I do enjoy it in that way. I don’t mind it though. I’ve been on them since 13 so can’t say I’ve ever felt something “missing” from my life in that regard. I just live my life like normal and enjoy hanging with my partner and cat.

I normally hate 3D graphs but I feel this needs a Z-axis for Years of Age. Libido varies and definitely changes over a lifetime. Either that, or state the age range of poll responders.

Interesting data! How do the frequencies compare across different age groups?
