Sexual health includes the state of physical, emotional, mental, and social well-being related to sexuality. Masturbation is an important sexual activity with many potential benefits which has gained considerable interest in sexuality research in the past twenty years; however, this research is the first of its kind within the Aotearoa/New Zealand context. In this in-depth investigation, we examined frequencies of, reasons for, and activities during masturbation as well as the relationship between masturbation and other factors.
Participants were 698 New Zealand women at least 18 years of age participating in a 42-item anonymous online survey collecting comprehensive information about sexual practices and related factors.
The results indicated that female masturbation has high prevalence in the New Zealand population.
The pattern of results enabled us to identify the positive effects of masturbation, masturbation practices commonly used by New Zealand women and the differences between New Zealand women who masturbate frequently and less frequently.
性健康包括与性相关的身体、情感、心理和社会福祉状态。自慰是一项重要的性活动,具有诸多潜在益处,在过去二十年里,它在性研究领域引起了相当大的关注;然而,这项研究是在新西兰背景下开展的同类研究中的首例。在这项深入调查中,我们研究了自慰的频率、原因、过程中的活动,以及自慰与其他因素之间的关系。
参与者为698名年龄至少18岁的新西兰女性,她们参与了一项42项内容的匿名在线调查,该调查收集了有关性行为及相关因素的全面信息。
结果表明,女性自慰在新西兰人群中具有较高的发生率。
这些结果模式使我们能够确定自慰的积极影响、新西兰女性常用的自慰方式,以及频繁自慰和较少自慰的新西兰女性之间的差异。
