Science
Yes, my friends, that means that on average, the British men who took this poll masturbate more often than the moon revolves around the Earth.
I believe you mean more often than the Earth rotates on its axis. The moon revolves around the Earth once a month and most men masturbating more than that doesn't seem surprising at all. Even in this case, daily and once a week twice a day? Not all that surprising, certainly little different from the ones who masturbate daily.

Hm.
Eight times a week is only every day and twice on Sunday.

I Wouldn't Know About Fertility
But it sure is fun! Maybe it helps to keep a fresh stock 'on hand', as it were. hahaaaa... Ba-dump Tsss!

d'uh
I haven't read the study so take my comments w/salt....but as with many studies, correlation doesn't imply causation. maybe the daily wankers already have healthy libidos so that daily wanking is just a by-product of virility.....while on the other hand, if you're not jacking every day it's indicative of low testosterone, poor health, etc.
As a proud daily wanker (on days when I don't get sweet luvin' from my honey), I say "men be on the safe side....and jack it.

Can laughing once a day improve a feminists outlook on life?
Right now it seems that feminists laugh about once every time the sun revolves around the earth.
Scientists are trying to determine if that can be increased to once every time the sun revolves around the galactic core.
With hope we can get feminists laughing once every time the earth revolves around the sun.
It currently seems a far out dream that feminists could laugh as often as the moon revolving around the earth.

Oooh
Catherine learned a new word - wank! Let's all have a little giggle, shall we? It's a dirty word! And it's something that nasty men do!

I think her point was
For that to be an average, assume one guy doesn't jack off at all and that means one other guy jacks off sixteen times a week.
I'm not all that surprised since I used to date a guy who jacked off three times a day regularly when he was having sex twice a day. When he didn't have sex, he jacked off four or five times a day.
An informal chat room poll revealed that the average man's maximum number of times jacking off in a 24 hour period was 6, usually at the age of about 14. This wasn't a sex-related chat, either - it was a support chat for players of a particular video game.

I masturbate at work.
Usually, it's to relieve menstrual cramps (I get 'em real, real bad).
But every once in a while, it's just for fun.
As a relatively healthy late-20s woman, I wank more than eight times a week. In fact, eight times a week seems like a piddly little number. And this isn't for lack of sex; my SO and I get that done just fine. Sometimes, a girl just needs to get off. Y'know?
-
...all that surprising?
Is it really all that surprising that many men masturbate (at least) once a day? I shouldn't think so. Perhaps you should spend a bit more time reading the illustrious Dan Savage.

Of Moon and Men
First, the moon revolves around earth once per month.
Second, how does this relate to Broads in any way?
This seems like a taunt. Ha ha, Engishmen are wankers!
To which I'd say, Ha ha, Broadsheet doesn't know basic astronomy.

Practice makes perfect, right? Or . . . it’s just an organ like any other, and needs exercise too.
In any case, there’s also anecdotal evidence that daily 'practice' helps people with erectile dysfunction. It can also help a guy get to sleep. In my opinion, daily practice is important to a man’s health.

Is Kitty happy too?
Can laughing once a day improve a feminists outlook on life?
Tossing one off every day would, that's for sure. Will this spawn a similar study on women?
Are you Lightning Rod Anonymous? I miss my friend.

Cycles of the moon
8 times a week does sound like a lot, but the moon revolves around the Earth once a month, which is a lot less frequent. (I would have thought a woman would know that).

This Kind of Info Wasn't Available Before the Internet
Holy Jergens Lotion, Batman! English guys!
Eight Days a Week! Like the Beatles song! The Beatles were and are English. Do we need to put a new interpretation on "A Day in the Life?" Do you remember their first hit, "I Wanna Hold My Dick?" "Twenty years ago today" would be 8,320 loads down the drain!
Wow! Twist and Shout! These English guys need to find An Octopussy's Garden, and cool it with the Nowhere Man behavior.

Does that really seem like a lot?
Does you really think eight times a week is a lot? You must be leading a sheltered life. As somebody else pointed out, that's one once a day and an extra time on weekends. Don't act so shocked. How often do women masturbate, anyway? Wouldn't that have been a more relevant topic for a women's column?
-
huh?
I'm unclear from the content of the article exactly what the problem is with masturbating 8 times each week. Are you worried the brits are going to chafe? Are they going to grow hair on their hands or go blind? Spend an inordinate amount of time in purgatory after their deaths? Exactly why the ridicule?

Typical Misandry & Hypocrisy
If a woman masturbates several times a week?
Female/feminist response: You go, girl! Way to go empowering your sexuality and quest for pleasure!
If a man masturbates several times a week?
Female/feminist response: Oh My God! What a filthy, pathetic pervert! Let's laugh at/be creeped out by him!
********
As far as I'm concerned, everyone - women AND men - should feel free to get their self-love groove on as many times as they wish.
Without ridicule/shock/passive=aggressive condemnation from puritanical prudes parading around as "liberated" people - such as Ms. Price.

I Guess I'm Unusual
I sometimes look at clips on beautifulagony.com or youporn.com to get my motor running, but I NEVER masturbate to porn. Never have, never will. Like most women (apparently), I lie down on my bed and let my imagination do the walking. Considering I'm not in the greatest health right now, my once-a-morning wank is somewhat impressive; but I've always had a volcanic libido.
As far as frequency goes, I feel the urge several times a day. I do not and have not diddled myself in the men's room (my God, what if my boss walked in?!). I've just had to imagine cold showers. If I worked for myself or was independently wealthy, and if my health was better, I'd say twice a day would be about right. And it is important for a man's health. Men who regularly ejaculate (with a lover or alone) are less likely to get prostate or testicular cancer.
