“Love Yourself": An Ode To Masturbation
‘No Nut November’ has come and gone, but you have not (wink wink). There’s a lot of negative stigma towards masturbation, like if you Jack or Jill off, you’re automatically the devil. We’re going to discuss reasons why you should spank the monkey or flick the bean.
Snooze The Stress Away
Have you ever had a tedious day overrun with the pains of daily life? The feeling of escape is just one stroke or flick away. Medical News Today has shown that beating the bishop or polishing the pearl triggers the release of endorphins and causes a reduction in cortisol.
The release of endorphins also shows improved sleep, and because of this, researchers have coined the term “relax effect.” The “relax effect” makes rest not so much a duty but a want that your body will naturally just give in too (there’s less twisting and turning when you’re in slumber).
Power to the Prostate
Calling all men! Throw the guilt away as there’s growing evidence that suggests masturbation reduces the rate of prostate cancer as it flushes toxins which reduces cellular damage; it also influences the level of testosterone which impacts prostate health heavily.
Calling Off Cramps
Cramps are a b*tch to deal on your time of the month. An article written Healthline has shown that engaging in self-love to completion helps with any discomfort and cramps as orgasms can lead to muscle contractions in the pelvic area which aides with these issues.
Slick not Sick
Flu season ruins days if not weeks but playing the pocket pool or making the bald man cry might be the solution to the sniffles epidemic. Research suggests that sexual activity including the most convenient of all masturbation increase the production of certain immune cells.
Happy Chappy
Rainy and hard days can dampen your mood as anxiety also creeps in your head. Taking the matters into your own hand (pun intended) has scientifically been proven to uplift ones mood as the dopamine released is associated with the pleasure and reward.
It's important to note that while masturbation can have potential benefits, it's also a personal choice, and what is comfortable and healthy varies from person to person. It's crucial to approach discussions about sexuality with respect for individual choices, values, and cultural beliefs. If someone has concerns about their sexual health or habits, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional or a qualified sex therapist for personalized advice.
