Ever notice how a lot of blogs for dudes are 99 percent links to stuff for guys to masturbate to? We here at The Frisky wonder how guys have time to do anything else, what with all that self-spanking time on their hands. Lady blogs are a different story altogether. But that got us thinking: How often do women masturbate? Once a day? Once a week? Once a month? Once a year? According to PyschologyToday.com, 38 percent of women said they'd masturbated only once during the last year. On the other hand, About.com's Men's Health section says men masturbate around two or three times a week. We can't help but wonder if this is the whole story.

So, you know what you should do this weekend? See “Rachel At The Wedding”? Yes! Eat copious amounts of junk food? Yes! But you should also do something productive with your time, like fill out Maxim‘s LADIES ONLY sex survey. They’ve asked us to hook them up with the intelligent, sassy, snarky pool of ladies that read this blog in hopes that you’ll provide their readers with the information they’re desperate to know about the mysterious female psyche.

Now, I’ve already taken the survey and can attest to how easy and entertaining it is to answer. The questions range from “What old-fashioned chivalrous things do you still expect a guy to do?” (umm, not dump me without a warning?) to “What is an absolute deal-breaker in a relationship?” (dumping me without warning!), as well as a few that go way, way below the belt. So hook those lads up—the more guys understand about women, the better off we’ll all be. [Maxim’s Biggest, Hardest Sex Survey Ever!]

It’s possible that your pet is the one giving you UTIs. A study at the University of Minnesota found that E. coli strains, including the ones that cause urinary tract infections, can easily pass between people and their pets. Now they just have to figure out whether this actually increases the risk of a UTI, so don’t start blaming your furry friend quite yet. [Reuters]

In a South African sex survey, men making more money were most likely to use sex toys—51 percent used them in the highest income bracket, compared with 29 percent on average. If money doesn’t buy love, it can certainly buy some lovemaking accouterments. [The Times (S. Africa)]

There isn’t enough university housing for French students, so many of them continue living at home while attending school, which can make hooking up a little complicated. The French students’ union UNEF is campaigning for the government to construct more student housing with racy posters that feature a young couple getting it on in a bed with a parent sleeping on either side of them.

The smarty-pants at the University of Cambridge conducted a study to find out where all the sluts were hiding at their school. Researchers, through an online survey, asked 1,000 of their students about their sex lives and found that the more students performed in bed, the worse they performed in their classes. Beyond making the grade, they were even able to pinpoint which academic pursuits would keep you a virgin. Half the math department, which ranks #1 in marks, couldn’t get laid even with straight A’s. On the other hand, coed’s pursuing medicine were found to be the friskiest, having the most sexual partners. All in all, the report card shows Cambridge is a school for experimentation, as 60% of students claimed they’ve done it outdoors, 25% are into S&M, and 15% have played a part in group sex. [Newsweek]
