Abstract
A number of areas of investigation are relevant to the consideration of adolescent and young adult masturbatory practices. First it is necessary to determine the incidences and rates of the activity. Currently there is a genuine lack of data on masturbatory incidences and frequencies and thus a need to do some “social accounting.” How common is masturbation among contemporary youth? How frequently do they masturbate? These are the principle questions addressed in this paper. In addition to incidences and rates, we examine trends in masturbatory conduct: do the incidences and frequencies of the activity change over time? The specific time periods that are examined are (1) retrospectively reported high school masturbatory behavior and (2) masturbation during each year in college.
