Masturbation is still a taboo subject. Yet, who hasn\u2019t already given a helping hand to their own pleasure? Or even a helping hand to a friend? This direct path to pleasure is a hot topic. And it is practiced by both men and women. So here are 11 facts about masturbation that will surprise you (or not).\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2021, the sex toy manufacturer Tenga conducted a survey on masturbation. The results were surprising. Solo pleasure (or with others) arouses much desire. If you already know the subject inside out, some information might still surprise you. And you won\u2019t be the only one, since 8 out of 10 French people regularly enjoy this moment of relaxation and pleasure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

1 \u2013 Masturbation: practiced by 92% of French men and 72% of French women<\/b><\/h2>\n

If there is a small difference between men and women<\/a>, there is however no notable difference in frequency between the various generations. When it comes to pleasure, there is no age limit.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

2 \u2013 Masturbation is more common among LGBT+ people<\/b><\/h2>\n

We love to lend a helping hand in the LGBT% community. Masturbation is an integral part of sexual practices, as 94% of them masturbate compared to 81% among heterosexuals. Here, we don\u2019t shy away from pleasure.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

3 \u2013 In summer, the French are hot<\/b><\/h2>\n

It is indeed in July, when temperatures are very high, that libidos<\/a> let loose. There is indeed a link between heat, bare bodies, and naughty desires. Does this surprise you?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

4 \u2013 The best time slot: 7:30 PM \u2013 11:30 PM<\/b><\/h2>\n

Much better than a Netflix evening, masturbation. Or else, we do it in front of Netflix, one hand in the panties or briefs and a drink in the other. Well, honestly, we don\u2019t know the details but we like to touch ourselves in the evening.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

5 \u2013 The French fantasize about their previous partners nearly twice as much as about their current one\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n

But that doesn\u2019t mean you want to get back together with your ex<\/a>! We often tend to romanticize the past, which helps when pleasuring yourself solo or with others. And besides, it\u2019s not an absolute truth, especially since it also doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re fantasizing about an ex throughout the entire encounter. As long as you\u2019re not shouting their name at the moment of orgasm\u2026<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

6 \u2013 Sex toys more popular among young people<\/b><\/h2>\n

Although sex toys have gained significant popularity among older generations, 51% of Millennials (born 1980-99) use them. Meanwhile, only 30% of seniors do. However, a winning point for the LGBT+ community, with 64% of users compared to 40% among heterosexuals.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

7 \u2013 Why a sex toy? Because\u2026<\/b><\/h2>\n

Better quality and frequency of orgasm. Better sexual and masturbation experiences. Better sexual performance. More satisfying emotional connections with their partner. And we understand, when we see that few women have orgasms<\/strong><\/span><\/a> naturally with their partners, adding a sex toy spices things up and makes it easier to reach seventh heaven. Who could blame them?!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

8 \u2013 64% of French people say they use masturbation as self-care<\/b><\/h2>\n

When you know the benefits of masturbation, it\u2019s no surprise. For many, masturbating is much more relaxing than going for a walk or doing sports. Better too than meditation<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, yoga, or any form of stretching. And no comparison with drinking tea or reading. In short, onanism is almost an activity in its own right and is good for the body and mind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

9 \u2013 Masturbation allows you to discover your body<\/b><\/h2>\n

For men, it is more often practiced among friends (12% versus 5% for women). While women often tend to discover it alone (61% versus 49% for men). But once you have discovered the practice, it is very hard not to indulge in it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

10 \u2013 The most fantasized stars in France are \u2026<\/b><\/h2>\n

The female personalities who provoke desire are: Clara Morgane, Shakira, Angelina Jolie.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On the male side: Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Bradley Cooper.<\/p>\n

Do you confirm?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

11 \u2013 The English are fonder of solitary pleasure than the French<\/b><\/h2>\n

The French are often labeled as perverts or \u00ab\u00a0hot,\u00a0\u00bb especially with the French Kiss, but in the end, our neighbors are no better. Indeed, according to the study, only 49% of French people masturbate at least once a week, compared to 61% of the English. We have doubts about the veracity of these revelations, but\u2026 that\u2019s what the study says!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

METHODOLOGY\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

In partnership with PSB, TENGA<\/strong><\/span><\/a> surveyed over 10,000 participants in 9 different countries to understand and better comprehend sexual habits, masturbation practices, and the use of sex toys worldwide. To ensure a representative sample of 18-54 year olds, on each market questionnaire, PSB implemented quotas and evaluated the collected data to best match each country\u2019s statistics, all sorted by age and gender. The questionnaire was distributed \u2013 and the final data was evaluated \u2013 based on an overall demographic approach by country (age, gender, ethnicity, residence, etc.).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
