Though an open secret, women sexually pleasure themselves as men do.
However, they do not do it as often as men due to the inconstant sexual desire owing to hormonal fluctuations related to menstrual cycle.
No woman can ever tell you that she strokes herself for pleasure openly unless you catch her in action.
Why do women masturbate?
It is a form of exercise.
The act of self-love strengthens the pelvic muscles.
This can be recommended as a natural treatment for women experiencing urinary incontinence.
Urinary incontinence is the loss of bladder control that causes leaking of urine especially on coughing or sneezing.
To flush out cervical bacteria. Masturbation opens up the cervix creating an unconducive environment for bacteria.
This helps to prevent yeast infections.
Ease abdominal cramps during periods.
Many women experience abdominal pains and discomfort during their menses. this is due to the contraction of the uterus as it sheds it’s lining.
Masturbation releases endorphins which are associated with a good relaxing feeling, therefore, easing the pain and the discomfort.
To kill frustrations.
Some women masturbate to dissipate their unfulfilled sexual desires and cover up the short-comings of their partner.
They consider this as safer instead of engaging in extramarital affairs for sexual fulfillment.
Finally, it helps get some sleep.
The relaxing feeling brought about by the release of sexual hormones is a quick getaway to the land of sleep.
Well, next time you can’t get sleep as a lady you know what to do!
