According to adult-toy maker Womanizer, Singapore holds the dubious honour of being the country with the highest masturbation gap in the world: Singaporean women masturbate up to 79 per cent less than men – almost four times less often. Hong Kong follows closely behind with a gap of 66 per cent. And that’s not to mention the quality, or otherwise, of the orgasms that these women have through masturbation.
Experts say that women, especially those in Asia, do not put their sexual needs first because of societal pressures – something they say can potentially lead to low self-esteem and overall dissatisfaction.
“As Asian women who have been conditioned by society to care for others – and even place the needs of others ahead of us – we might also invariably think that orgasms are more important for our partners than ourselves,” says Dr Martha Tara Lee, a Singapore-based clinical sexologist and relationship counsellor.
“Women in Asia might be scared of the unknown – will they hurt themselves? Could they get addicted to it? What’s the point of it all anyway? It’s easier to not deal with it and just ignore it, push it aside – in short, suppress their sexuality. And let’s not forget all the negative messages around female sexuality.”
