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?
And again, how long do you guys think is a good amount of time to have sex? 👀 Let us know in the comments below.

30 mins is a good amount of sex time for me. It can be less or more but 30 minutes is reasonable. The amount of time honestly is a conversation a couple must have and communicate well about it.
For me 30 mins is okay. Sometimes circumstances and mood can make it last less or more than that.
The above mentioned benefits are new to me and l am grateful to have come across this article. Sometimes having such background information helps one make an informed decision on whether or not to take part in such things. Thank you Manbox.
For me the amount of time for sex depends on many things including your mood and all. But 30 mins is fine for me.
