You can hate on millennials all you want, but there's at least one area where they have older generation beat. Yup, they may be lacking in social skills and have weaker handshakes, but millennials know how to get down with themselves.


A recent survey found that 57 percent of people aged 18-24 masturbate weekly, which is apparently higher than any other age group.

Developed by the sex toy company TENGA, the 2018 Global Self-Pleasure Report is the world' largest survey on masturbation; it uses data from 13,000 respondents aged 18-74 in 18 different countries. In addition to millennials' masturbation habits, the survey produced some interesting findings on solo sex worldwide.

In America, 92 percent of men and 76 percent of women say they do it. In the U.K., those numbers are 96 and 78 percent; and in Germany, they're 93 and 76 percent. What's holding America back? Masturbation has plenty of benefits, including boosting your mood, helping you last longer, and even preventing prostate cancer. As long as it's not interfering with your everyday life, you're free to do it as much as you want.

Though lots of people masturbate, many aren't so keen on talking about it with their partners. According to the survey, "only 18 percent of respondents in the United States, 15 percent in the United Kingdom and 11 percent in Germany feel it is important to talk about masturbation with people they are close with."

Listen, ladies: Communication is key to a healthy relationship. Once you master talking about masturbation, you can even try doing it with a partner.

According to the survey, 86 percent of those who've used sex toys say they improve their masturbation experience. In the U.S., 53 percent say they'd be open to using one on themselves.
