"Uhm... Sorry to burst your bubble, but yes, women do masturbate. Almost everyone masturbates. Those that don't either lack the equipment, or simply lack sexuality (asexuals) or aren't old enough to have figured out that it's…"

"Yep, I too am a frequenter of the washroom."

"I've read that orgasm releases a rush of endorphins in the body."

"i don't think women do that, i heard they think it is dirty or something.. they would rather shop."

"I have cfs and suffer from excessive visits to the toilet (bathroom), I was told by my doctor that this forms part of Fibro & CFS. I have a problem first thing in the morning."

"The thing is, we should talk about it. It shouldn't be taboo. Masturbation triggers the release of pain and stress reducing chemicals in the brain that can take away the pain of a lot of things, even if it's just momentarily. It's…"

"Did the rheumatologist do any tests to rule out other things when he dx'ed the fibro? There are other pain med's besides lyrica. U might want to ask to try another if the lyrica side effects bother u too much. Thanks for sharing your…"

"Do u mean excessive urinating during the night? or during day & night? I'd reached a certain age & was getting up every night to go to bathrm. I found that if I didn't drink any water after 6 pm, I didn't have to go during…"

"Masturbation - Everyone does it, no one talks about it."

"I never had any urination problems until about 6 months ago, when for the first time since my fibro problems began 5 years ago, I experienced an odd sensation in my bladder...I would go to the bathroom but 5 minutes later it felt like I would have…"
