More on Masturbation increases with each generation- Millennials are mistakenly called the Masturbation Generation.
Millennials are not a unique generation in their increased appreciation of masturbation over prior generations. In fact, masturbation rates have increased in each generation since Kinsey, when we began studying it more openly. Studies since have shown increases in the proportion of healthy people who masturbate and increases in frequency and duration. For example "Masturbation in a Generational Perspective", Kontula and Haavio-Mannila. JPHS. 2002. Millennials have experienced one of the sharpest increases so far and have been called the "masturbation generation" but this is not quite correct. During the same period they grew up, the general population as a whole, and across all age groups, experienced an increase. So the expected increase for that generation plus the overall increase makes it appear as if they have taken off. Unlike the traditional trend of establishing a rate and then having it gradually decline with age, the cohort of men of 50+ have actually increased their rate over the past decade, masturbating more now than they did when they were 10 years younger. That is, we all masturbate more these days, old and young alike. Millennials happened to be growing up at a good time.
