This month's results reveal that 86% of American adults admit they participate in self-gratification, with most (20%) engaging in the act 1-2 times per week. The next highest group of respondents (18%) said they masturbate 1-3 times per month, while an additional 18% said they masturbate 5-6 times a week, on a daily basis or more than once a day.

A surprising 17% of the respondents reported they rarely self-satisfy, and 14% of the total number surveyed said they never participate in the act of masturbation.

"Masturbation is a healthy sexual outlet," says sex and relationship expert Dr. Kat Van Kirk . "Research shows it can help individuals cope with stress, improve the immune system and it enhances partnered sex. Masturbation is a great form of preventative medicine."

Chad Davis , Marketing Director for Adam & Eve, adds, "Whether individuals engage in masturbation in addition to their current relationships or in-between relationships, Adam & Eve has a variety of products to make self-gratification even more gratifying."

The web-based survey, conducted by an independent third party survey company, of over 1,000 American adults age 18 and up, was sponsored by Adam & Eve to study sexual preferences and practices.
