Toward a Liberation of Masturbation?
Historically kept under wraps, especially for women, masturbation is now experiencing gradual liberation. Happn reveals that this topic is increasingly accepted: 60% of French singles report feeling comfortable with self-sexual exploration. However, disparities remain between genders, with men generally more comfortable (60%) than women (48%).
Nearly one in two respondents (45%) masturbates several times a week. However, variations appear according to gender and age: men are much more likely to masturbate daily (on average, 20% vs. 9% of women). 22% of women aged 18-26 masturbate less than once a month.
Beyond differences in frequency, masturbation methods also vary by gender and age. While two in three men (66%) are satisfied with simplicity or enjoy masturbating in the shower (27%), using accessories and toys hasn't yet become a habit for them (less than 3% use a sex toy). In contrast, one in two women prefers using sex toys. This trend becomes more pronounced after age 35, with up to 57% of women favoring toys, compared to only 4% of men.

Intimate Exploration for Self-Love
Intimate exploration plays a key role in personal growth and well-being, with 50% of singles saying masturbation helps them understand their needs better. For 64% of women, it even becomes an act of self-care. Being sexually aligned with a partner is now essential, as shared pleasure ranks just below mutual consent (33%) for a healthy relationship. This openness leads to a desire to experiment: 95% of respondents are willing to try new things to satisfy their partner.
