Maezawa from the CEO’s Office will answer this one as well.

I think they ask because they’re curious about how women experience sex. I think that’s just the way it is, so you don’t need to worry about it.
As you said, quite a few women don’t masturbate. But some do, so men can’t help being curious and asking.
The reason is that most men have experience masturbating. Since that’s the case for men, they wonder whether women are really different.
For example, even with manga magazines, men’s weekly magazines sell well, while monthly magazines don’t sell as much. For women, however, monthly magazines sell better. (I’m not even sure whether there are weekly magazines for women.)
That’s how the urban legend came about that men operate on a one-week cycle for everything—including sex drive—while women operate on a one-month cycle.
I’m Kazu, a male member.
What a shallow-minded man he must be to think that masturbating means you like sex, while not masturbating means you don’t.
I’m a man myself, and I like sex enough to join a dating club, but since joining, I’ve only masturbated two or three times.
Besides, when men say they like sex, and when women say they like sex, they usually mean different things. When a man says he likes sex, he generally means he simply wants to do it. When a woman says she likes sex, as the questioner said, she usually means she wants to enjoy it with someone she actually likes. Women who are willing to explore erotic things are also generally curious by nature.
Getting back to masturbation, especially for women, I don’t think it’s always driven by sexual desire. Many may start out of curiosity or make it a habit as a way of taking care of their bodies. When I talk with women I’m seeing, some say they do it because they just happened to feel aroused, while others say they want to learn how to climax. So just because a woman masturbates doesn’t necessarily mean she’s feeling aroused.
That said, women who have learned how to climax may sometimes masturbate because they suddenly feel like it. Some women have also told me they get aroused while watching porn. It seems that what triggers arousal varies from person to person.
In short, everyone has different reasons for masturbating. Some do it when they’re aroused, while others suddenly feel like it or are prompted by watching porn—it depends on the moment.
