Just in case you need any more reasons.
But it was all about having sex with a stranger (in our case, a woman). And it is customary to keep silent about the health benefits of sex with oneself, or, to put it less courteously, masturbation. And that’s another thing! As a child, you were probably scared that hair would grow on your palms, you would go blind and go crazy if you spent too much time in the bathroom.
Now, of course, no one believes these horror stories, besides, scientists have proved that masturbation is a completely natural process, all healthy men and women engage in it from time to time. And the one who denies it is most likely lying.
the main advantages of masturbation for health. Another confirmation of what you’ve been guessing for a long time. More precisely, even five confirmations.
Improves mood
“Orgasm provides your brain with the most powerful influx of dopamine (the hormone of joy) that is available non—medicinally,” says clinical sex therapist Dr. Gloria Breim, head of the study. The brain of a person experiencing an orgasm, when scanned, looks the same as the brain of a heroin addict. All this sounds like a not very healthy thing, nevertheless, the advantages of orgasm (compared to heroin, and just like that) are obvious. No overdoses or pills, but it feels the same.
Allows you to increase the duration of sexual intercourse
Like any penis owner, you probably know that in sex, the second approach usually lasts longer than the first and it’s much easier to control the situation. Therefore, if your plans include surprising a girl with your abilities, it’s a good idea to carefully prepare for a date at home. In addition, as the experts assured us (by them we mean doctors in this case), regular workouts will help you increase the duration of sexual intercourse. Dr. Breim even advises you to mark the time when you masturbate, and with each new time try to delay the orgasm for at least a minute.
Improves erection
With age, the body loses muscle tone. Unfortunately, this also applies directly to your penis. By masturbating, you strengthen your pelvic floor muscles and thereby prevent erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence.
Enhances immunity
During masturbation, the stress hormone cortisol is produced in small amounts. It would seem that what is the use of it? Endocrinologist Jennifer Landa explains that cortisol is crucial in the body’s ability to respond to stress and helps strengthen the immune system in small doses. Sports training has a similar effect on the body. But, dare we say, masturbation is still more enjoyable.
Reduces the likelihood of cancer
The lack of regular sex leads to stagnation of seminal fluid, which, in turn, can lead to the formation of infections in the prostate and serious health problems. Researchers from Harvard University concluded that those men over the age of 20 who had sex (or masturbated) at least 21 times a month were 19% less likely to develop prostate cancer. For men over 40, the probability increases to 22%. According to another study, men who masturbate 5 times a week are 33% less likely to develop prostate cancer.
Of course, we’re not encouraging you to get too enthusiastic. Just keep in mind that it’s useful. As they say, for health and longevity.
