28 Women Reveal The Sites They Masturbate To

by Emma McGowan

When I was first figuring out what sex was, I found a book on my very feminist, very sex-positive mom’s shelf in the closet, titled My Secret Garden. It was a compilation of women’s sexual fantasies, published during the height of the women’s lib movement in 1973. There was a men’s version too, although I can’t remember the name of it anymore. I do remember that both of those books got a lot of use during my teenage years — a time before smartphones and laptops. Hey, the only computer in our house was in a common room! There was no way I was going to explore sex on that thing.

That was in the early 2000s, and in the decade-and-a-half since, the possibilities for seeking out new sexual fantasies have become practically endless. Short stories. Videos. Magazines. GIFs. Twilight. Gone are the days when girls would have to stumble upon erotic parts of their mother’s novels and devour them night after night under the covers. Ladies looking to explore the world of BDSM, dive into centaur fantasies, or get an idea of what a gang bang might be like have a plethora of options available quite literally at their fingertips.

While it’s commonly accepted that women prefer written erotica while men prefer visual stimulation, the highly visual nature of the Internet may be changing that. I did an informal survey of women (and other folks with vaginas) to see what websites they masturbate to. You might be surprised by how many don’t conform to any stereotype.
