Quote:The paper, “Relationship between the frequency and duration of masturbation and the sexual health literacy and sexual function of women in western Turkey: a cross-sectional study,” was authored by Aysu Yıldız Karaahmet and Fatma Sule Bilgiç.
Quote:The study included 921 sexually active young Muslim women from western Turkey, aged 18 to 25. Participants were unmarried, not taking medication that could affect sexual function, and free of any diagnosed sexual dysfunction.
Participants completed assessments measuring sexual health literacy (using the Sexual Health Literacy Scale – SHLS) and sexual functioning (using the Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale). They also reported the frequency and duration of their masturbation habits.
On average, participants reported masturbating five times per month, with sessions lasting 3–4 minutes. Overall, women who reported masturbating more frequently demonstrated better sexual health literacy and sexual functioning.
