If you are getting it from somewhere else, that's enough to satiate the need to some degree. Personally, if I'm sleeping with someone on a regular basis, my frequency of diddling drops because if I want to get off I have sex. That's not to say that's the case for all or even most women.

Female masturbation, or "petting the kitty" as I've heard it fondly referred, has undoubtedly become a more accepted topic in recent years. The Kinsey Report, released more than 50 ago, claimed that "92 percent of males reported having masturbated as opposed to 62 percent of females." I can say with very little reservation that far more than 62 percent of the ladies are "slippin' the kitten" these days.

Here's why I'm so confident with that statement -- maybe you know women that have gone to or hosted a sex toy party or two in the past couple of years.

If you've never heard of this or attended one, here's the premise: After a couple cocktails, a room full of women sit around laughing and chatting while a saleswoman toting a suitcase stuffed to the gills with sex toys, lubes and vibrators shows us the ins and outs, shall we say, of tricks and tools for great masturbation and sex.

Though we giggle and tease each other while passing around vibrators shaped like petting zoo animals, when it comes to the point of purchase, we really think about this stuff.

"Do I want the little rabbit-shaped one with the whiskers that tickle the clitoris? Do I need the pocket vibrator for long flights? Are anal beads really something my boyfriend could get into?"

Seriously, we not only think really hard about what we want, but we spend a ton to get it. You'd be amazed what a dolphin vibrator and some tingling lube will cost a girl these days.

But we're out there, we're spending and it's not because we thought a nice shiny gold vibrator would look great with our new shoes. It's because we, like you, like to get off.

Unlike men, our orgasms are not that easily defined.

For some of us, it's more elusive that just stepping into the office restroom and rubbing one out, as you so eloquently put it. If these toy parties are any indication, not only are we women masturbating, but many of us do need or at least like the assistance of a toy. Some women need clitoral stimulation while others need G-spot stimulation, anal, top, bottom, whatever, and the variety of toys out there that get the job accomplished would boggle your mind.

The same applies to lubricants. Some women need them, some don't. They are often recommended depending on the toy, but if a woman is generally more "self-lubricated" when she's turned on, it's not a necessity.

As far as porn or imagery goes, there is little doubt men are the ones driving the multi-billion dollar porn industry.

That's not to say that women don't enjoy or spend money on pornography, but most guys are far more visual when it comes to sexual desire. Ninety percent of the history I have with porn has been watching it with the guys I've dated. I don't find it to be a necessity when I'm on my own. And if porn isn't a turn on you can always use the power of your own imagination.

When you're getting down and dirty with yourself, you can think about whomever you want to and believe it or not most women don't fantasize about the pizza guy, the mailman or the gardener you find in porn movies. I'm sure Brad Pitt, Matthew McConaughey and yes, President Obama make their way into the dirty imaginations of plenty of women, but people we know aren't out of the question, either.

Long story short -- each woman is different in her needs, desires and preferences when it comes to orgasms and masturbation. Rumor has it you guys think about it every 10 seconds or something unbelievable like that. (And they say women are the multi-taskers of the species.)

Honestly, it's a wonder to me how you guys get anything done walking around like that. I certainly don't think about it every 10 seconds, not even every 10 minutes but again, I am just one woman; you may find plenty of women out there that do indeed spend much of their days thinking about sex and masturbation.

Happy hunting, TechGuy. Happy hunting.
