Jess & Megan Talk Masturbation

Participant #1:

So here to talk about masturbation. I have my friend and colleague, Dr. Megan Stubb sexologist. Megan. She is Grand Rapids based, but travels. I know she's been all over the States this year speaking. Hey, there Megan. How are you doing? Hi. How are you? I'm excellent. You know, you and I are colleagues. We're also friendly friends, but we've never talked about masturbation, haven't we? No, it hasn't come up and we're sexologists. I know. So if sexologists aren't talking about it with their friends, what do you think about the rest of us? I think maybe because we're too close to the situation. We don't talk about it. Maybe other people are more open because they're not living it every day. Right. We're tired of talking about sex. We just want to talk about different types of hot dogs and wine. Right. Well, we're going to talk a little bit. I'm going to ask you about your experience with masturbation. Would you consider yourself a frequent masturbator? I would be on the upper end of the Bell curve. I'm a frequent masturbator. Okay. Frequency is one of these interesting things. People definitely want to know how often we're doing it, right. So do you want to tell us how often you're doing it? Let's see. On average, it definitely ebbs and flows this month. I'm pretty sure it's been almost all of the days, not just because of the holiday professional courtesy, more free time on my hands, literally. And it just happens to just feel right at the time. So I just indulge myself. So you're doing it almost every day. And you must come across this question often because I get emails from people who are concerned that they're doing it every day or their partners doing it every day. So as an expert, but also as a practitioner, what do you say to those people? I say to them, you're fine. You're okay? I just think there's a stigma around admitting too much sexuality, especially being a woman. You can't be too sexy. What's wrong with you? Are you some kind of deviant? Do you have sex addiction? I think just seeing that you have sexual gratification every day in society is not normal. You shouldn't be. I don't know this happy in society. Normal. You're too happy for the rest of us. And I'm going to use that line. Then I'm going to say not only is it normal, I have my sexologist friends who do it every day, and they are okay. Yeah. You're all perverts. Exactly. We're all perverted together. So tell me, why do you do it? Because I think there are so many different reasons why, but for you. And I'm sure it changes from day to day. What are your reasons? So for sure, definitely different reasons that are happening. I'm really guilty of getting out of the shower,
