Married people – or people in committed Leonardo Bonucci World Cup Jersey , long-term relationships – tend to have more partner-based sensual activity than people not in such a relationship, according to a number of surveys and reports. But that does not mean that self-pleasuring goes out the window when a person gets married. Since self-gratification plays a role in maintaining male organ health (and female organ health as well), that’s a good thing. But do married men and women view self-pleasuring the same way? A recent study suggests they do not.

Coming to terms

For the purposes of this article, “married” is going to refer to a couple in a long-term Graziano Pelle World Cup Jersey , committed relationship, even if they are not officially married. And “self-pleasuring” will refer to the act of engaging in self-stimulation of a person’s own genitals in a private setting. (In other words, mutual self-pleasuring, which might be considered as part of partner-based coupling Giorgio Chiellini World Cup Jersey , will not be counted as self-pleasuring.)

Study

Most of the information in this piece is drawn from a recent study published by the Archives of Sensual Behavior and entitled “Self-pleasuring and Partnered Sensual Activity: Substitutes or Complements?” This study was conducted by doctors at the University of Texas at Austin and Brigham Young University. It has a large sample size – 7648 men and 8090 women, all from the United States. As the scientists state in their summary, “we explored the association between sensual frequency and self-pleasuring, evaluating the evidence for whether self-pleasuring compensates for unavailable sensual activity Gianluigi Buffon World Cup Jersey , complements (or augments) existing paired sensual activity, or bears little association with it.”

In other words, they wanted to look at whether people in a relationship who had more or less coupling were more or less likely to self-stimulate, and what might be the reason for the self-pleasuring.

Results

Not surprisingly Giacomo Bonaventura World Cup Jersey , men reported self-gratifying more frequently than did women (a reflection of reports from other studies on the frequency of self-pleasuring reported by the genders). But sensual contentment seemed to play a strong role in a person’s self-stimulatory frequency.

For example, 79% of sensually discontented men who had not had sensual activity recently reported that they self-stimulated. But 60% of sensually discontented men who had had sensual activity four or more times recently also reported self-gratifying. Men who were sensually content (which was only 42% of the sample) reported significantly less self-pleasuring – even if they had NOT had sensual activity recently.
