Do you masturbate?
You can immediately sense that the guy who asked is on the verge of a very immature break down. [ I say guy because a girl isn't really going to ask, is she?!] However at the same time as hoping the girl will admit that her fingers have gone- or go- exploring from time to time he also knows, although he doesn't really want to consider it, that he is unlikely going to get the response he desires; probably the most likely outcome will be along the lines of ' Eww, no!' (as a cover up to the truth, possibly) or 'What the Hell?!' which instantly puts the guy under pressure to come back with a respectable reply. If not, he can expect another thing...a slap. Two if he's in luck.
But why so defensive? If you asked a guy if he masturbates the answer is almost certainly going to be 'of course' as though it was a stupid question to ask in the first place. Which it is to be honest, but us humans can't help but be curious about the subjects we really shouldn't be curious about.
So why, then, are they defensive? well hints of shame and embarrassment I'm sure, and want for privacy too. Yet I bet that the majority (if not all) of girls who go to secondary school will have done the deed, but you never really know. Well, maybe apart from that one girl who loves the sound of her own voice and openly talks about her dildo or the rips she obtained from last weekend's booty call. Got to love that girl!
So female masturbation is a taboo currently left for the porn industry to exploit and give the horny teenage population a show, maybe even the adult one. In fact scratch that, definitely the adult one. [ Now that's another question to ask: have your parents done it? Have they spent some alone time locked away? It's a taboo I don't want to explore but another one of those things that you can't help but think about, until you shut it out of your mind forever and then...puke]
So back to the girls, why are you so quiet on the topic?
Self Respect.
That's only a theory, I mean I am a guy and I'm sure that it varies from person to person. But the shame in admitting it, a metaphorical piece of dirt that once you have acknowledged you will never scrub off, no matter how hard you try. You have to face it...you masturbate. So I guess with this shame and self-respect comes the difference between the lads and ladies. We don't really care (on the whole, there will be some exceptions) where as you girls do, which is very admirable.
However.
Maybe, just maybe, if every girl came out and said she did it then that gleam in the guy's eye would disappear. No longer finding it quite hot that a girl masturbates, just another to thing to accept in life. I mean can you girls honestly say you get turned on when you know a guy masturbates?! No, 'cause you know it happens, it's a part of life.
So I say just be done with it and say it. You might even get to see a few lads faint and that has to be some good blackmailing material for the future!
[not that I endorse that kind of thing or anything....]
