This subject I think will always be a social taboo. Not many people can talk about it openly, and it will always be something that goes on behind closed doors. At the end of the day it is a natural function that in some instances is healthy.What makes it a taboo is attitudes through history, for example the victorians looked on it as a dirty and sinful habit that was hazardous to your health. The most bizarre thing is that they contradict their beliefs, because masterbation was actually used to treat female hysteria at that time and right up until the 1950's.
Female hysteria or 'Womb Disease' goes right back to egyptian times, when healers realised that women did not release fluids during sex in that same way that men did.
They believed that as a result this caused all sorts of problems like headaches, irritability, fainting or impending fear of insanity.In the 1800's vibrating devices were actually used to masterbate female patients back to health. Ann Summers would have definately prospered in those times!
In response to Sarah's blog on mastibation and the Victorians . I found her blog both interesting and unreal , not about what she wrote by how the Victoria men used a women's sex to oppress her in yet another way . I thank my lucky stars I was not born in that period of history as I know I'd have been committed before I had chance to get married.
