aussiechick63: I think most women masturbate. Maybe they are afraid to admit it. I think it is a healthy part of a normal sex life. As long as it doesn't intrude on partner time, why should it be a problem. Do it together perhaps.

One of the reasons I enjoy it is because it is selfish. I can relax, enjoy myself and not have to wory about pleasuring anyone else for a change. It can be very de-stressing.
Another reason I do it, I have a high sex drive. If I didn't masturbate I think I would go crazy.
Hope this helps,
Tracey.
