Welu:
I remember reading some study where they asked a load of twenty somethings of male and female, if they would have satisfying sex consequence free with no-strings. Apparently the rates of they would were pretty even between male and female. It wasn't the no-strings thing that got women to say no to casual encounters, it's that basically, women weren't sure if it would be worth their time because generally the first sex with a new stranger wouldn't be all that satisfying in the technical department.

Barmymoo:
I think it depends hugely on where you are and who you're asking. I personally feel that women, or at least young women (I'm talking about people from age maybe 15 to about 25, because that's the age range I know best) are more worried about the emotional attachment of a relationship than the sexual pleasure, whereas young men in the same age range are more bothered about sex than emotions. It seems to even out a bit as people get older and manage to throw off the societal expectations and discover how they actually feel about things.

Also, I wouldn't say that being serially monogamous is universally popular. A lot of my friends only date people if they think they're likely to get married - not so much serially but singularly, although obviously sometimes they discover they wouldn't want to get married and break up. Whilst this is generally amongst my Christian friends, we aren't talking about Bible-belt southern states Christianity but well-educated and liberal-leaning British women (I think religion has a more balanced view on sex on this side of the pond).

Masturbation is nothing to crow about for either sex. "Guess what I just did? WOOOT!" But that doesn't make doing it a shameful act, either. It is what it is. Most people will just see at a waste of time. But frankly, so is watching most television shows, getting drunk with friends, "hanging out", etc. So as a time waster, it isn't the worst way to waste time either. Anyone telling you it is a shameful act should mind their own business.
