Keep Your Pants Off!
In honour of Masturbation May, this month’s selection of Quickies will feature tidbits related to one of the greatest forms of pleasure – self pleasure!
Studies indicate that approximately 63% of North Americans masturbate on a daily basis, for an average of 12 minutes per session. That’s at least 58.7 million person-hours of downstairs shenanigans every day!
Talk about time well spent!

Hmmm. I’d think for this statistic, it would be important to differentiate M vs F.
I’m thinking the average time spent would be different between M vs F.
Or is it?
I haven’t come across any statistics about gender and different wank times. Are you thinking of possible differences between gender or sex?
Looking at masturbatory times based on gender – social identities, of which there are many – might give some clues about the external factors that influence the way we get with ourselves.
Looking at masturbatory times based on sex – our genitals or “plumbing” if you will – could shed some intriguing light on the mechanics of how different bodies respond sexually.
I’m curious – who do you think masturbates faster, on average?
