According to research, guys masturbate on average 3 times a week and girls on average 2 times a week. Guys generally start masturbating at an earlier age (teens) than girls (20s).

It is very possible that she doesn't do it and doesn't know how to. It is also very possible that she does do it and is embarrassed talking about it so denies it.

But yes, I'd say more women masturbate than not, and the frequency varies. Some of us do it as much or more than some men. Others do it less. It just depends on the individual, just as it does with men.

P.S. Don't blindly/fully believe any "according to research" stuff unless you are provided the actual research information. This goes for research on any topic :)

Girls masturbate less than the boys. Not because they have less sexual urges but because they have a lot more inhibitions. Also it takes a girl longer to reach an orgasm. Your friend may not be lying. May be she is too young to have discovered the joys of masturbation. You should teach her. Once she finds out how then she will continue to masturbate.

What?! Girls never masturbate! That's gross!

Lol. Seriously, girls do, maybe not as often as boys, but they do. They just refuse to admit it, and many will go to their graves denying it (in spite of the rabbit in the nightstand).
