As aforementioned, we as a community with ideas to share on the topic is rather minimal in numbers, but sex has always been the restrictive characteristic within our astringent and varying moralities. It's the basest of differences that we can discerningly pinpoint from one another, as it's [mostly]easy to tell male from female. I think this is only true because we as humans are generally modest about our appearances, and that by covering ourselves up with clothing, we feel that by hiding what we think is the initial difference between us and half the others, there is something to be preserved, and something worth perpetuating said modesty for. I mean, all of us are absolutely enthused to strip down to our bare skin in private or with a consenting partner, but even as thrilling as it would be to do, none of us would really strip down in public as such and still make an exposition of our pride, save for the fact that you bear the strongest of inclinations, or you were long inclined to be a nudist anyway. For those of us who can be verbally open, but not as physically open, we don't have any such urge.
But, my point is, given that we're all modest, that most people will keep this to themselves. We don't distinguish the reservation of others here because we know that anyone who comes here will be open about their experiences, so we are openly and gladly aroused by one another's thoughts. But, most people, I think it's an inherent modesty that keeps people from being more open about something like this, as if it's exploiting something you were meant to have wrongfully, given that men will always be men, and women always women (well, save for surgery, but you get the point). Moreover, I think this is the reason why we confide in friends more so than family or, obviously, strangers...because there isn't such a looming fear of being judged as strangers may do, or that family members will do, questioning your morality and possibly your dignity. If we were all the same gender in the world, people would masturbate every day without question, and most would be as blithe as we are with one another, which would be absolutely wonderful (well, the prospect of it, given our restrictive situations), but it's hard to be open when the conformity makes it necessary not to do so.
However, these are just my theories. I philosophize things a lot, and my opinions are highly ambivalent from time to time. I just think that we as a community are a small part of the population, but concerning the physical actions, it's incontrovertible that most everyone has done the deed, or at least thought about it. I've never regretted it, and quite frankly, so long as one lives and enjoys life in a mutualism with those around them, then there ought not be any penalty for acting in the interest of others with occasion for yourself.
