Sexuality and depression

There may be a connection between mast.rbation and depression.


The study on women's sexuality and depression was conducted by researchers at the University of Texas in 2003:

Sexual Functioning and Self-Reported Depressive Symptoms Among College Women
by Penny Frolich and Cindy Meston, University of Texas, Austin (2003) states:

Women with depressive symptoms were significantly more likely to have mast.rbated in the previous month than were control recipients.


Possible reasons for this are:
Loss of a lack of pleasure, women engaged in mast.rbation as a reliable source of pleasure.
Not being able to climax with a partner, women resorted to mast.rbation.
Feasible that depressive symptoms are associated with greater ruminations about sex and/or a greater urge to engage in self-soothing behaviors.

Another explanation is that depression and mast.rbation might be something of a vicious cycle involving unsatisfying relationships and social isolation. There may be a psycho-physiological component also, in the lack of a satisfying emotional relationship, along with solitary sexual activity. The body/mind is activated for a relationship, in the absence of this, depressive feelings are accentuated.
