Let’s face it: everyone wonders what their fellow humans are doing behind closed doors. Specifically, how often they're playing a solo symphony. So grab your lotion, your judgment-free mind, and let’s jerk the curtain back on the sticky statistics of masturbation.
The Universal Tug: Everybody Does It
Masturbation is about as universal as sneezing. It transcends gender, age, and geography. The only difference? Some people do it a hell of a lot more than others. Thanks to a combination of scientific studies, surveys, and a few brave souls who are a little too honest on Reddit, we can break down the great jerk-off landscape.
Men: The Champions of Gooning
Let’s not beat around the bush—unless, of course, you’re into that. On average, adult men tend to masturbate more frequently than women. Studies (like those from Kinsey, NHS, and Pornhub insights) suggest that:
- Ages 18-24: 5-7 times a week (sometimes daily, sometimes multiple times a day for those with Olympic stamina)
- Ages 25-34: 3-5 times a week
- Ages 35-50: 2-4 times a week
- Over 50: 1-3 times a week (though some silver foxes still crank it like they're 20)
A small but proud subset of men in their peak horny years report going 2-3 times a day, especially if they’re unemployed, living alone, or just really, really enthusiastic.
Women: The Silent Flickers
Women masturbate too—surprise! They might not shout it from the rooftops, but the numbers are rising as taboos shrink and sex-positivity blossoms:
- Ages 18-24: 3-5 times a week
- Ages 25-34: 2-4 times a week
- Ages 35-50: 1-3 times a week
- Over 50: 1-2 times a week (hello, waterproof shower heads)
Hormones, stress relief, and access to high-powered vibrators play a big role. Many women prefer quality over quantity—a full sensory experience instead of a quick five-minute trip to the bathroom.
By Age: The Rise and Decline of the Wank Curve
The general pattern is this: hormones skyrocket in the late teens and early 20s, leading to marathon masturbation sessions, then gradually taper as life gets busier, stress piles up, or arthritis kicks in.
- 18-24: Welcome to Jack-Off University.
- 25-34: The "I’ll squeeze it in between meetings" years.
- 35-50: "Kids are asleep? Game on."
- 50+: "I’ll still dust it off, but let’s not pull a muscle."
International Hand Jobs: Who Wanks the Most?
Surprise: not everyone masturbates at the same rate worldwide. Let’s take a dirty little tour:
- United States: A proud leader. Americans report 4-5 times a week on average for men, 2-3 times for women.
- Japan: Surprisingly high solo activity due to longer work hours, high stress, and cultural trends. Men average 5-6 times a week; women 3-4 times.
- Germany: Efficient even with masturbation. Men report 3-4 times a week; women 2-3 times.
- Brazil: Passionate and open. Men average 4-6 times weekly; women 3-4 times.
- Scandinavia: Sex-positive and cold winters mean cozy, frequent self-love sessions. Men: 5-6 times a week; women: 3-4 times.
The Truth About "Too Much"
Is there such a thing as too much masturbation? Technically, yes—if it starts interfering with daily life, relationships, or you’re raw enough to need ointment. But for most people, it’s a healthy, normal part of life. Orgasm releases endorphins, reduces stress, helps with sleep, and keeps genitals happy and well-lubricated.
Final Stroking Thoughts
At the end of the day, whether you’re a once-a-day diddler or a weekend warrior, masturbation is your business. Literally. The only rule is consent and comfort. And hey, you just read a whole article about it—which means it’s probably on your mind now. Go ahead. We won’t judge.
So much so we won't judge, that we'll provide you with over 140,000 videos to play around with on Bang! It's quite a catalogue, so happy fapping!
