Kind of anti-climactic, no?

But I think that people don't like the idea of women (other than porn stars) masturbating, maybe?

Yeah, I noticed. What is THAT all about? It seems to be an opinion quite common in America.

really depends on where you are and who you talk to. my hypothesis is that the act is considered as coarse regardless, but men get a pass because we are generally expected to be coarse/gross/pervy/etc.

I suggest this with no small amount of hesitation, but I was under the general impression that society saw men masturbating is seen as shameful, whereas for women it's empowering.
I am thinking in particular of their depiction in Smallville versus American Beauty, for example. Although that may not be the best example...
OK, I'd be happy to be proven wrong! I probably am. It's happened before. :roll:

Well, at least Faye hasn't had to hit him

Thats the politically correct assumption, but in reality I would expect there to be more males than females being promiscious. Because women are kind of more concious about feelings, on average, and being promiscious isnt really a healthy attitude towards your own feelings. In fact in more serious cases its even a state of mind that might demand theraphy (*).
Unless you go promisicious = sex without being married = including serially monogamic, then thats pretty popular with pretty much everybody nowadays. But thats kind of a definition from past ages.
Not that I dont consider the idea of finding one partner and only having with that person sex in your whole life highly romantic.
(*): I wanted to link the article about Hypersexuality on Wikipedia at this place, but man thats a heap of bull. Reads like written by teenager virgins from the USA bible belt, not by doctors of medicine. Seriously, Hypersexuality includes the sensation of pleasure from masturbation ? We are all doomed.
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.
