The funny thing is that neither my boyfriend nor I really masturbate anymore, really... because it does fall so short of the emotional and physical fulfillment of sex. But it's almost like masturbation was a phase we grew out of (before and independently of meeting each other), and it did serve a purpose of helping us understand what we liked on our own. Her fear is that never having experimented with masturbation at all, she can't expect someone else to one day give her an orgasm, never having given one to herself.
