I don't know why the world is so set on that as far as women are concerned, but it's ridiculous. If a woman isn't in a sexual relationship with someone else, they're just supposed to get no satisfaction at all until they find someone to do so with? So it's better to find a one-nighter than to do it yourself? Absurd.
And if a woman is in a sexual relationship, she's only supposed to get any sort of pleasure if she's doing it with that other person? That might would work for a man, as they almost always manage to enjoy themselves, but even if it's a pretty regular thing, not all women are even able to reach orgasm during sex. I can, and am lucky enough to have a husband that makes sure I do before he does (if TMI, my apologies :D), but... when I do it myself, it is almost always more intense, and I don't have to be all cuddly or take a lot of time if I don't want to. Yeah, I am often a 'just do it, make me happy, and go on about whatever we were doing' kind of person.
As the mother of a little girl, I need to actually look into this more so that I can figure out the best way to discuss it with her. My mom was definitely in the 'it's dirty to touch yourself' state of mind, and I don't want my little girl to grow up thinking that. Thanks for bringing that up, though, I hadn't really thought about that before now.
