Highest estimate of female passion
Historically women have been seen as sexually rampant, as vamp and temptress or as sexually
dead (the proper
state for "moral" wives). One index of sexual awareness and interest is the degree of
masturbation in an individual
(though of course masturbation may be infrequent or non-existent in highly sexed individuals
when an adequacy
of other outlets exists). Masturbation is said to be so widespread among both married and
unmarried Muslim
females throughout Africa and the East that "it is commonly regarded by the menfolk as
customary and
matter-of-fact" (A. Edwards & R. E. L. Masters, "The Cradle of Erotica").
"Rubbing" or "pounding" is
considered a natural manifestation of feminine nature - for "women's passion is ten times
greater than man's." In
this spirit it has been suggested that since it takes ten men to satisfy one women, it is only
normal that a woman
faithful to one man should masturbate from time to time to satisfy sexual needs. (French
troops marching off to
war were said to provide their wives with dildos to reduce the chances of adultery in their
absence.)
