Masturbate! It’s good for you…
When you feel the urge
An old joke quips that eight out of ten people claim to masturbate, two out of ten people lie about it. According to WebMD, eight out of ten is a low number. The medical website claims that ninety five percent of males claim to masturbate and eighty nine percent of females claim to masturbate.
Masturbation can be a necessity, if one doesn’t have a partner, or a partner is unwilling to be intimate. But it can also be shared between partners, a treatment for dysfunction, or prescribed as therapy. Let us be the first to say, duh, to the idea of masturbation as therapy. It provides great sexual relief and releases hormones and chemicals that can go as far as elevating a person’s mood.
Masturbation is a normal human sexual behavior. Some cultures attach a stigma to masturbation and some religions prohibit it. But the fact remains that people masturbate, and the net effect on the body – when done in moderation – is not harmful. On the contrary, it is healthy.
From the full article at WebMD:
“Some experts suggest that masturbation can actually improve sexual health and relationships. By exploring your own body through masturbation, you can determine what is erotically pleasing to you and can share this with your partner. Some partners use mutual masturbation to discover techniques for a more satisfying sexual relationship and to add to their mutual intimacy.”
That’s why we suggest experimenting with different physical sensations before even considering which sex toy to buy. So our suggestion is to masturbate and learn about your body. It’s normal, healthy and a great way to find new ideas that you’ll be able to add to your sexual repertoire. And, most importantly, it’s fun. Now it’s back to work before I get any ideas.
