More and more people (men and women) tend to come online to masturbate. 5 - 10 years ago a women would never dare to admit to it, as it was surrounded in Victorian stigma and seemingly labeled as a man's thing, now many of the women will readily own up to the act of self satisfaction, and us for us men, well there seems no stopping us. Personally, I think it’s a good thing that we are more open these days, we just need to be sure of just exactly who we are sharing this information with…anyone disagree?

Not sure about the masterbation online aspect. I would say popular culture has become more open about women and self pleasure - I'm sure some anthropologist in many years will look at programmes like Sex in the city and point to this as a turning point is societies attitudes.

Ann Summers must help alot by making products available in a way where women do not have to be faced by the 'dirty mac brigade'.

I would be interested in womens views on porn though, most girls I know who have toys still wouldn't watch 'porn' but they certainly read 'erotica'.

Most women I chat with tell me that they do not use porn (videos or photos) when masturbating, but rely much more on their imagination and fantasies

I have toys and porn dvds, but the dvds a genrally for use when with a partner. However i dont and will never do the webcam/ cyber sex thing. its just not me. i have tried it a couple of times with my ex i found it very off putting and awkward lol. but fair play to those who enjoy it just not me

I masturbate on line all the time, doesn't go down to well when Im chatting to my mum though.

This is what ruins the forums.

I totally agree with you, Dan, come on people be cool and tasteful

it's good fun have a wank on line talking to some horny girl.
