Masturbation May: 10 female celebs who aren't afraid to talk about masturbating

In this merry month of masturbation, we thought it’d be a good idea to champion 10 female celebrities who have been vocally supportive of female pleasure. We are constantly preaching the combined importance of self-love and sexual satisfaction because, at the end of the day, sisters really can do it for themselves!

Rihanna has long been a supporter of Masturbation May, having tweeted about it as far back as 2012. More importantly, however, in an iconic move after her breakup with Chris Brown, she publicly wore a t-shirt depicting the lower half of a woman's body with a hand entering her knickers and D.I.Y in bold, red letters written across the top. She is an incredible advocate for embracing your inner sexuality and self-love.

Mel B encouraged women everywhere to treat themselves to a vibrator in an article with Cosmopolitan. She also found herself in a bit of hot water with Adele after an episode of Celebrity Juice aired where she was asked to name three things you could carry in your anus, and she let slip, “a vibrator!” Girl power!
Gabrielle Union is an actor and sexual assault survivor who routinely advocates for sexual empowerment. She recalls having urges as early as age 5 to rub herself against her teddy bear because it felt like ‘whoa, oh, oh, ignition, hello!’ and I’m sure some of us can definitely relate to that!
