Masturbation (post religion)

Most people masturbate if they don't have a partner/someone with whom they can have sex with, and those who don't do it often misses out on something besides fulfilling their sexual urgrs. If you don't know your own body, how can you expect someone else to know what you like or not. Sure, you can spend considerable time doing it together, but there's no reason for you not to do it yourself as well.
Before I had sex the first time, and a long time after marriage, I was very rigid because of my conservative upbringing and the shame I as a woman felt for having sexual desires. I was still horny, but never dared to touch anything down there. I started masturbating when I stopped connecting female sexuality with shame and the idea that it can only exist in connection with a man. When my ex didn't have time to give me an orgasm due to various reasons such as being interrupted by a crying baby at night, or when he was away on trips etc, I masturbated and he knew it. He thought I was a weirdo, but I just lost interest in sex all together if I didn't enjoy it.
Having sex without the orgasm at the end is pointless IMO but that's because I know I can have it without having to "mystify" it. No bs about it being "normal" never to climax. Of course people never reach climax if all the focus is on being a sex symbol. This reminds me of the TED talk that was uploaded here some time ago about sexual objectification. Instead of being IN the sex act, women tend to "observe" themself from the outside. Being a sexual object instead of subject.
Went off topic, but seriously. Female(or male) sexuality isn't shamefull and self pleasure can never be wrong. It's a "victimless crime" just like shirk and kufr, if we're looking at it from a Muslim background.
