 We all need some 'me time' at some point, but we aren't talking about getting your hair done or getting a manicure. No, we're talking about masturbation. Maybe you use your hands, your favourite vibrator, maybe you whack on your favourite audio porn recording. However you do it, reaching that finish line solo is just orgasmic. But it turns out that more women are pulling out of this solo activity and don't do it anywhere near as much as men. Globally, the masturbation gap between men and women has increased by a whopping 10% from 2022 and now sits at 58%, according to new research. In the UK specifically, the self-pleasure forecast is pretty dire, with the masturbation gap nearly doubling in just one year, from 35% in 2022 to 63% in 2023. We don't know about you, but those stats really killed the mood.

This is hard to swallow when the average for men has increased from 154 times per year in 2022 to 191 times per year in the UK in 2023. Part of the reason behind this could be the shift in libido levels for women in the UK, according to the Lovehoney and Womaniser study. The survey asked men and women to rate their sex drive out of 10. Men's libido actually increased from 6.32 to 6.8 out of 10 this year, while women's libido levels seemed a little flaccid, drooping from 6.13 out of 10 in 2022 to just 5.5. But is it just libido to blame for women's lack of self pleasure? Lovehoney's sex and relationships expert Annabelle Knight doesn't think so.
