O_o. What an odd question...?....or statement...?

I don't think it's quite right to say that masturbation is "accepted" in the medical field...more like - it is considered very normal behavior. Differences in culture/social norms do affect how one perceives this topic however. While it is perfectly alright to discuss (albeit in a very mature manner) female masturbation in more liberal countries (i.e. USA, etc), many other countries/cultures find the topic highly inappropriate.

Since I do live in the US, you can hardly go a day without hearing some sort of comment, serious or not, about (female) masturbation. Its either on the TV, radio, internet, or just within discussions between friends.

I think its perfectly normal. While I dont necessarily want to hear or talk about it at the dinner table with my family, I think its good that society has taken a more progressive approach to sex/sexuality. Everyone has urges - simple as that.

^ haha ditto.
perfectley explained for you!

How can it not acceptable?
it's well known as an effective way to reduce stress also to cure headache instantly because it relaxes your mind and every muscles.
No need to depend on pills.
if you have trouble sleeping, it helps too.

Yup. And now days with so many people not knowing proper sexual education because of rightwing religious fanatics it's better to do masturbation than go out and have sex with many partners and risk getting a disease or something else.

[jogii]

it's perfectly normal and i'm pretty sure everyone masturbates, unless they're restricted by some strict religion or something. it's healthy too. it lowers your stress levels and relaxes your body. no harm can come from it!

[meilove]

everyone here stated my opinion already
it's just something we don't normally talk about in the open

[serendipityxt]

ahh .. i know a lot of people think it's normal. i just think it's wrong and ugh disturbing kinda

[Azngel]

um...why would it matter if its accepted or not when masturbation is done in the privacy of your own room, ALONE. masturbation doesnt harm anyone, so yes its accepted except in certain religions

[je_amourx]

Acceptable or not is what you do in your own privacy. No one is there to judge ... It's more of an option.
In science term, it's to be said that any masturbation is good for the body because it releases stress.

I've been having trouble sleeping... hmmm... haha jkjk~~

[TunaTin]

in the medical field??
Haha, well I think I read somewhere that masturbation is actually good for your health :] but I don't know the scientific facts.
Female masturbation is recognised in most societies, it's just not talked about or as well acknowledged as male masturbations...
Maybe it's got something to do with the whole innocent female thing.
Bluergh.
Men have always been the hornier ones.
lol

Hey if it's okay for guys to do it, why not girls?

[kissmaiazz89]

^ i agree, girls have needs too!xD

[ethan's mommy]

i think everyone has done it at least once. but for me i cant get turned on by it. ill just let my husband handle that for me.

[IATEYOU]

isn't it considered a sin under the Christian religion? because it relates to lust... idk i was always confused about this lol
and yes i agree with lots of the the comments about mine

[etoile]

plus getting orgasms (by masturbation or intercourse w/e) helps with menstrual cramps.

[sushiwhore]

um...why would it matter if its accepted or not when masturbation is done in the privacy of your own room, ALONE. masturbation doesnt harm anyone, so yes its accepted except in certain religions

=) or with the help of a partner. it can be mutual!

[LaydeeMel]

It helps for you to release stress and it relax's your muscles. So yay good for you, it's not harmful either. Why would you care if it was accepted or not? No one would know anyways. :I
