MUARA TEWEH, Central Kalimantan: Noted sexologist Wimpie
Pangkahila told a seminar on reproduction health held by the
local government here on Sunday that a study he conducted
recently found that only between 13 percent and 16 percent of
women who masturbated before marriage said they did not enjoy
having sex with their husbands in the first year of their
marriage.

For women who did not masturbate before marriage, however, the
complaint rate was higher, Wimpie said. The survey revealed that
between 31 percent and 37 percent of the group said they never
reached orgasm in the first year of their marriage.

Wimpie, who heads the Denpasar-based Center for Andrology and
Sexology Studies, said masturbation was normal and part of human
psychosexual development. -- Antara
