“…Psychological and behavioral treatments for FOD with the most consistent data include directed masturbation, sensate focus, and psychotherapy [124]. For example, directed masturbation is a cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-based technique centered on stepwise exposure to genital stimulation.…”

“…For example, directed masturbation is a cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-based technique centered on stepwise exposure to genital stimulation. Available studies have demonstrated the efficacy of this type of therapy in FOD [124]. Other proposed approaches with little evidence include sex education, systematic desensitization, bibliotherapy, and coital alignment technique training; however, they may represent beneficial adjuncts [124].…”

The multidimensionality and interpersonal dimension of human sexuality make the study of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) a challenge. The aspiration to pursue a patient-centered, holistic approach collides with the need to establish commonly accepted diagnostic criteria for different disturbances in sexual functioning, involving one or multiple phases of the sexual response cycle and pain associated with sexual activity. According to recently proposed classifications, which are continuously evolving, the most relevant FSDs include hypoactive sexual desire disorder, female arousal disorder, persistent genital arousal disorder, and female orgasm disorder. The present chapter aims to provide a clinical perspective on these disorders by reviewing the most recent evidence on the pathophysiology, definitions, prevalence, leading etiologies, diagnostic tools, and key therapeutic approaches. Sexual pain-related conditions will be reviewed in another chapter.It is evident that a gender bias still exists, with prominent biological etiologies of FSDs being neglected and understudied at the expense of psychodynamic and relational determinants. Moreover, classifications should serve to advocate the advancement of our knowledge of female sexual functioning. This process goes through the practical translation of the updated nosology in a language that is intelligible to primary healthcare providers all over the world, and ultimately, to women.

“…This behavior favors self-exploration and sexual learning in a context in which the presence of sexual difficulties might be less prevalent [4]. Previous studies have stressed the importance of solitary masturbation for the adjustment and generalization of the sexual response to the context of sexual relationships [5], acting as a therapeutic tool to deal with some sexual difficulties [6,7].…”

Masturbation is a healthy sexual behavior associated with different sexual functioning dimensions, which highlights sexual satisfaction as an important manifestation of sexual wellbeing. This review aims to systematically examine studies that have associated masturbation with sexual satisfaction, both in individuals with and without a partner. Following the PRISMA statement, searches were made in the APA PsycInfo, Medline, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. The search yielded 851 records, and twenty-two articles that examined the relation between solitary masturbation and sexual satisfaction were selected. In men, a negative relation between masturbation and sexual satisfaction was observed in 71.4% of the studies, 21.4% found no such relation, and 7.2% observed a positive association. In women, 40% reported no relation, 33.3% a negative relation, and 26.7% a positive one. The negative association between solitary masturbation and sexual satisfaction is consistent with the previously proposed compensatory role of masturbation, especially for men. In women, compared to men, the complementary role of masturbation in relation to sexual relationships is observed to a greater extent and is associated more closely with sexual health. The importance of including different parameters beyond the masturbation frequency in future studies to explore its relation with sexual satisfaction is emphasized. This systematic review is registered in PROSPERO (CRD42023416688).

“…However, feelings about mutual masturbation are not well understood. Considering masturbation is one of the most common sources of orgasm and pleasure among women and a technique used in sex therapies for women’s orgasm and men’s ejaculation difficulties (Kontula & Miettinen, 2016 ; Laumann et al., 1994 ; Marchand, 2021 ; Shirai et al, 2023 ; Stravynski et al, 1997 ; Wade et al., 2005 ), it is important to understand the role of masturbation in relationships. Also, although we do not know how partners communicate about masturbation or how and why one partner initiates mutual masturbation, given the role of mutual masturbation in dyadic sexual communication, it is important to explore experiences of and feelings about mutual masturbation (Heiman & LoPiccolo, 2009 ; Mintz, 2017 ).…”

Objectives We explored mutual masturbation among women and men and investigated associations with sexual satisfaction and sexual self-esteem. Methods 117 women and 151 men (M age = 29.7 years), mostly heterosexual, all in current relationships, completed an online survey covering experiences of solo and partnered sexual activities, feelings about mutual masturbation, sexual self-esteem, and sexual satisfaction. Results Mutual masturbation was common among both genders. Men reported significantly higher positive feelings about mutual masturbation than women. Recent mutual masturbation was positively associated with sexual satisfaction but not with sexual self-esteem. Conclusions These findings have implications for sex and couple therapy and research.
