A stratified probability sample survey of the British general population, aged 16 to 44 years, was conducted from 1999 to 2001 (N = 11,161) using face-to-face interviewing and computer-assisted self-interviewing. We used these data to estimate the population prevalence of masturbation, and to identify sociodemographic, sexual behavioral, and attitudinal factors associated with reporting this behavior. Seventy-three percent of men and 36.8% of women reported masturbating in the 4 weeks prior to interview (95% confidence interval 71.5%-74.4% and 35.4%-38.2%, respectively). A number of sociodemographic and behavioral factors were associated with reporting masturbation. Among both men and women, reporting masturbation increased with higher levels of education and social class and was more common among those reporting sexual function problems. For women, masturbation was more likely among those who reported more frequent vaginal sex in the last four weeks, a greater repertoire of sexual activity (such as reporting oral and anal sex), and more sexual partners in the last year. In contrast, the prevalence of masturbation was lower among men reporting more frequent vaginal sex. Both men and women reporting same-sex partner(s) were significantly more likely to report masturbation. Masturbation is a common sexual practice with significant variations in reporting between men and women.
1999年至2001年，我们对16至44岁的英国普通人群进行了分层概率抽样调查（N = 11161），采用面对面访谈和计算机辅助自我访谈的方式。我们利用这些数据来估计手淫在人群中的流行率，并确定与报告这种行为相关的社会人口统计学、性行为和态度因素。73%的男性和36.8%的女性报告在访谈前4周内有手淫行为（95%置信区间分别为71.5%-74.4%和35.4%-38.2%）。一些社会人口统计学和行为因素与报告手淫行为有关。在男性和女性中，报告手淫行为的比例随着教育水平和社会阶层的提高而增加，并且在报告性功能问题的人群中更为常见。对于女性来说，在过去四周内报告阴道性交频率更高、性行为方式更多样（如报告口交和肛交）以及在过去一年中有更多性伴侣的女性更有可能手淫。相比之下，报告阴道性交频率更高的男性手淫流行率较低。报告有同性伴侣的男性和女性报告手淫的可能性显著更高。手淫是一种常见的性行为，男性和女性在报告上存在显著差异。
