Girls, do you take about masturbating with your friends?

There was ONE guy in my year who didn't masturbate, and everyone made fun of him for it. Funny how there are a variety of insults such as 'w*nker', 'jerk' (presume so anyway), 'jerk-off' etc., but in actually you end up being ridiculed if you're a male and DON'T masturbate.

On topic though, I think there's some kind of residual societal pressure from Victorian times for women not to admit to being inherently sexual, but I do think that's changing. Also with males, I kind of think of ejaculation as a bodily function...and guys are more likely to talk about bodily functions in general than females . Girls tend to value privacy more I guess?

Interestingly (disclaimer- may not be interesting for everyone), Victorians were absolutely obsessed with stopping boys from masturbating (they probably didn't even imagine girls doing it). Things like football were specifically promoted in private schools to prevent the boys from "self abuse".

Those crazy Victorians! Football has its place but can't beat a good old bit of beating off on a Sunday afternoon

Another thing you might find interesting is the male circumcision culture that is present in the United States also stems from (for a large part at least) the desire to stop boys from masturbating, because circumcision was supposed to make masturbation 'harder' (hehehe).

Oh, yeah, the Yanks were even worse. The guy who invented Kelloggs is the worst-

He wanted to put cages around teenager's genitals. And he stuck yougurt up his arse.

Wait, are you telling me it's unusual to try and cage teenagers' genitals and stick yoghurt in your ass????

Not at all! It's the most awkward and embarrassing topic to speak about. It is also frowned upon. At my old school you'd get picked on if others found out.

Am I the only guy who doesn't talk about masturbation with friends? It just seems like a very awkward topic, and one I don't care for. Sure if someone asks, I'll tell them I do since it's normal, but to have an actual conversation about it?
