Benefits of Masturbation
Ok, we've all wondered whether Male or Female Masturbation is a healthy pastime
or not, so we'll attempt to answer the question here....
A few of our readers have
left me a note asking about the above so we've put together the following discussion
about one of the least talked about subjects that is a regular pastime for the
majority of men and most women too. We won't go into the different male/female
masturbation techniques as these are extremely wide and varied, that's a whole
other article in itself.
Masturbation the Facts
Statistics indicate that around 94% of men and 89% of women have or are still
masturbating on a regular basis, and yet the word still creates an uncomfortable
feeling even in the 21st Century. The practice is often frowned upon in certain
circles, and there are those who still try to educate our youth of the potential
sinful and dangerous nature of the act. This is quite obviously unfounded and
in fact there is more and more research which proves that masturbation can produce
many health benefits in males, females young and old.
Arguably the greatest health benefit of masturbation is that it feels good.
This is because the heightened sexual stimulation and subsequent orgasm causes
a flood of endorphins to be released throughout the body. These are the feel
good chemicals that are produced after extreme periods of exertion or in this
case the orgasmic release created through masturbation. Any for of sexual activity
and physical exercise are by far the best ways to kick off the release of endorphins,
and combining the two is obviously the way to reach maximum production of these
naturally occurring chemicals in the body. When there is no partner available
then masturbation is a good substitute as it can improve the mood and open the
door to the release of endorphins. Its thought the act can also improve sleep
by causing a state of relaxation, and in women it can even relieve menstruation
cramps and tension.
As humans, we do not follow the 'on heat' cycles that other animals do (though
women do have periods of hieghtened sexual desire on specific days in the hormone
cycle), so from early teens we tend to have a huge amount of sexual energy or
desire which is crying out to be released. The best way for this release to
occur is through the natural process of masturbation, there really is little
alternative when no opposite sexual partner exists. The orgasm that comes with
masturbating is a great releaser of sexual tension and even frustration. It
is a very safe, controlled release, where the individual can take his or her
time, using whatever masturbation technique they wish to achieve an exhilarating
climax, a great way to end a busy or stressful day !
This kind of relaxation is a welcome release that many stressed-out
individuals around the world could surely benefit from.
