Sexual Orientation

Do asexual people masturbate?

A myth out there is that asexual persons do not masturbate. Actually, some do. The motivation behind it often times, however, is not because asexual individuals found the act particularly sexually pleasurable or fun. Some reasons for masturbation are simply boredom, sleeplessness, procrastination and relieve some tension. Whereas some evidence points to asexual men masturbating at the same rate as sexual men, asexual women who score higher on the asexuality scale are also less likely to masturbate compared to sexual women.
