7 reasons to say «Yes» to masturbation
Masturbation dates back to ancient times. In those days, masturbation was considered a terrible sin. It wasn't until 1972 that the American Medical Association declared that there was nothing wrong with masturbation.
Many people still wonder: is it worth resorting to self-satisfaction or is it better to refrain? Here are 7 reasons why you can and should masturbate:
1. Increases the duration of sexual intercourse
Masturbation is a kind of training that helps men learn to control the onset of orgasm, which means the duration of sex. One of the popular ways that sexologists recommend is the "stop-start" technique. Its essence is about stopping and pausing for a while before you reach orgasm, and then you can continue. You can try to keep track of time when masturbating. And each time try to delay the orgasm.
If you have a date in the evening and you want to impress your partner with long sex, masturbate in advance. So you can be in control of the situation.
2. Strengthens the immune system
Sexual and Relationship Therapy magazine published the results of a study that confirmed the fact that men practicing self-satisfaction have a stronger immune system. The thing is that during orgasm, the work of the vas deferens is activated. That in turn prevents infections. Scientists have also revealed that people who often experience orgasms have 30-40% higher levels of antibodies that are responsible for local immunity.
3. Improves sleep quality
Want to get rid of insomnia? Masturbate before going to bed. That is the easiest and fastest way, because after ejaculation, the hormone levels that help you fall asleep increase drastically. And after orgasm, the dopamine levels go down and the concentration of prolactin goes up, which triggers a feeling of drowsiness.
4. Improves relationships with your partner
Anthony Smith, from the Centre for Health, Sex and Society at La Trobe University in Melbourne, believes that people who masturbate have sex more often. Masturbation helps you get to know your body, erogenous zones and understand what can bring new sensations That will make your intimate life more diverse and vibrant.
5. Masturbation strengthens blood vessels
Self-satisfaction as a form of physical activity improves blood pressure, increases heart rate, and improves blood circulation. That is why people who experience orgasms more often are less likely to die from coronary heart disease. And active blood flow eliminates congestion in the vessels of the penis.
6. Reduces the tension
During orgasm, the male body produces a large amount of dopamine, endorphins, and catecholamines. That is, masturbation will not only help you get pleasure, but also cope with stress and improve your mood overall.
7. Reduces the risk of prostate cancer
Researchers from Harvard University found that masturbation more than 21 times a month reduces the risk of prostate cancer. In the experiment, which involved 32,925 subjects, it was discovered that the more often people engaged in self-satisfaction, the lower the risk of developing malignant tumors. This indicator decreased by a maximum rate of 33%. However, according to scientists, the result is achieved after any ejaculation. Regardless of whether it was achieved during masturbation or during sexual intercourse.
As you can see, it's totally normal to masturbate. Especially when for some reason you do not have the opportunity to have sex with a partner. But you should not get carried away. Find your balance: 3-4 times a week, according to sexologists, will be enough.
