Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome (PSAS)
Persistent sexual arousal syndrome (PSAS) relates to women's sexual health where women experience unwanted, persistent genital arousal. Orgasms provide temporary relief for women with PSAS.

FiveThirtyEight's Mona Chalabi analyzed Indiana University's National Survey Of Sexual Health And Behavior (NSSHB) to create an infographic illustrating how often men and women masturbate according to age.

The NSSHB collected data from 5,865 Americans between the ages of 14 and 94 between March and May 2009, the Huffington Post reported.

As Chalabi points out, women are less likely to try masturbating, however, there is still a large gender gap when it comes to routine masturbation.

Only 7.9 percent of women between the ages of 25 and 29 masturbate two to three times a week whereas 23.4 percent of men do.
