7 Reasons Why You Should Masturbate
There is a good chance you are obsessed with masturbation after you discovered it in your teenage years and that is completely normal.
After your first orgasm, you probably thought it was the best thing to discover after sliced bread. Everything about it feels good. From the moment you touch your penis, and when you finally have that orgasm? Chef’s kiss 👌🏾.
Did you know that masturbation is great for your physical and emotional health?
Gloria Brame, Ph.D., a clinical sexologist, believes masturbation should become a regular part of your personal care routine as it also has several health benefits, from lowering your risk for certain diseases to boosting your satisfaction during sex with a partner.
HERE ARE SOME OF THE BENEFITS OF MASTURBATING
It can help lower your prostate cancer risk
A study conducted in 2004 found that men who ejaculated more than 21 times a month reduced their risk of prostate cancer by roughly 33% compared to guys who did it 4-7 times a month.
It makes you harder
As you age, you naturally lose muscle tone so regular sex and masturbation work out your pelvic floor muscles to prevent erectile dysfunction and incontinence.
Masturbation “keeps the angle of your dangle perky,”. That’s because the smooth muscle of your penis needs to be enriched with oxygen, which is delivered whenever there’s a rush of blood to your member (i.e., when you get an erection).
It helps you last longer during sex
Okay, we know that this is debatable but how long do you guys think is a good amount of time to have sex? 👀 Well, whatever the answer is, regularly taking yourself to palm prom may extend your ‘sessions’ even longer.
It boosts immunity
Ejaculation increases levels of the hormone cortisol, which helps regulate and maintain your immune system in small doses. A study also showed that a guy had more white blood cells 45 mins after they had a solo orgasm.
It boosts your mood
Masturbating releases a slew of feel-good neurochemicals like dopamine and oxytocin that lift your spirits. It also boosts your satisfaction and activates the reward circuits in your brain.
It can help you fall asleep
An orgasm releases chemicals like prolactin, serotonin, and oxytocin into the brain, all of which have been linked to feelings of happiness and relaxation.
It can increase your lifespan
Yup, really: according to a Welsh study of 1000 men over the course of 20 years, the men who had two or more orgasms per week died at half the rate of men who had less than that number of orgasms per month.
So will you be taking matters into your own hands (in private) to improve your physical and mental health?

This article clarifies the fact that there ARE health benefits to masturbation.
However, cultural and religious beliefs can cause feelings of guilt which counteract the emotional benefits of the act, leaving only the physical benefits.
It’s natural, to the point where some studies even show male babies touching their genitals in the womb already.
Very interesting and thorough article.
Wow! What an eye opener! I did not know about the benefits of masturbating, now that I know…..
The answer to the questiobn of how long should sex last? well it depends, as I will not be having or doing it alone. The aim is to make sure that both parties are satisfied.
i didn’t know about this but now i will try it for my health ;thank you for this article
This is something a lot of guys find taboo and feel ashamed to admit, even when you tell them about the benefits of masturbating. I love this article and I wish it could reach more guys.
Do u masturbate
Honestly i sometimes get confused cause you find that some doctors say regular masturbation is bad cause it increases your chance of infertility…but now I’m more confused and would honestly love a straight forward answer.
Thank you for the information.
But isn’t becoming a habit ?
I masturbate everyday for this reason, I SLEEP SOOOO PEACEFULLY.
It has been a habit for years,lol
Lol couldn’t agree more
Such a good article. It’s funny how I’ve been telling my learners about this today. There’s nothing wrong about masturbating because it helped avoiding things that one doesn’t care to know about
Q: And again, how long do you guys think is a good amount of time to have sex? 👀 Let us know in the comments below.
A: around 15 to 20 mins is more than enough in my opinion, sometimes going for too long causes my wife to go dry and then it just becomes unpleasant. Guess it all depends on you and your partner, what works for you as a couple.
