<p>"In the NHSLS, only 25 percent of women who have not completed high school have masturbated in the past year; this increases steadily at each educational level to a high of 60 percent of those with an advanced degree. The more educated are also most likely to always or usually experience orgasm during masturbation, ranging from 45.6 of those with less than high school to 87 percent with graduate degrees (Laumann 1994, Table 3.1, 82)."</p>
<p>"The March 2000 Glamour reports that 94 percent of readers surveyed masturbate regularly (Holmes 2000).
(However, the University of Chicago's NHSLS reports much lower rates of female masturbation, with 64.4 percent of women 18-24 reporting that they have not masturbated in the past year.)"</p>
<p>(this could be because the readership of Glamour is probably more open about sexual situations etc, I highly doubt the Good Catholic Mothers of the world read Glamour ;))</p>
<p>Yea things like that have a huge bias because people who are against masturbation probably don't read glamour, or if they're ashamed of it they're not going to respond, etc.</p>
<p>That's not true, Unearth, the Catholic church, arguably one of the strictest religions on sexual practices, does not condemn recreational sex--as long as it is within the bonds of marriage.</p>

<p>Yes, but the Catholic Church condemns the use of birth control, so you can have recreational sex as long as you are ok with having recreational babies.</p>

<p>That was the best post, ever.
I want to make a bumper sticker out of that one.</p>
<p>to the original poster, instead of jacking off, find a girl on facebook that is interested in "random play." Find her, whip it out and say "i heard you were interested in random play. 10x better than jacking off</p>
<p>"Yes, but the Catholic Church condemns the use of birth control, so you can have recreational sex as long as you are ok with having recreational babies."</p>
<p>i think they reccommend natural family planning, which is a form of "natural birth control" that allows for recreational sex without... recreational babies, as you so nicely put it.</p>
<p>For goodness sake, no birth control is 100% foolproof and the ones that have a higher rating--birth control pills/patches, condoms, etc. are still much more reliable (though not 100% guarenteed) is still better than "natural birth control."</p>
