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.

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?
