Britney Spears says that if anyone says they don't masturbate, they're lying.

She has recently been advocating the positive attributes of masturbating, saying that women should do it before men, that men can then, "just kind of follow up after you".

She is quoted by Ananova.com as saying: "It's a positive thing to indulge in yourself in a sexual way sometimes. It's life. Guys can talk about it. Why can't girls? It's a positive thing. I think if you say you don't do it, you're lying."

"Being alone you really start to figure out what makes you happy. And then you're able to give more to other people.

"When you turn yourself on, that really is what turns the guy on. So just make yourself happy and let them just kind of follow up after you."

Her song, 'Touch of my hand', is a dedication to masturbation, reports say.

The Sun reports that she likes being kissed in her neck and a man's sexiest part for her is his hair. "I like being able to twist the hair right up above the neck," she said.
