Masturbating Can Do More For Your Body Than Just Making You Feel Good

masturbating

When it comes to making yourself feel good, there are many ways to go about it. One way is to eat your favorite comfort meal. Another way is to go on vacation or have a self-care day of doing anything that you want or nothing at all. Then there’s the other way to make yourself feel good and that’s through pleasure. Sex is a great way to make yourself feel good through pleasure, especially when it’s with yourself. Masturbating can be extremely beneficial in more ways than one. Not only does it help you release but it can also prevent many future health issues. Yes, you read that correctly, masturbating can do more for your body than just making you feel good.

How Masturbation Is Natural And Healthy

Humans were programmed to enjoy pleasure. Unlike some animals who only use sex to mate and make offspring, humans get the opportunity to experience pleasure when they mate with another human.

Humans also get the opportunity to experience pleasure when they “mate” with themselves. This is called masturbating. When people masturbate, it’s basically them having sex with themselves or “getting themselves off”. Masturbating is completely normal and healthy to do and here’s why.

Masturbating can prevent unwanted pregnancies since, you aren’t having sex with a partner that can get pregnant or ejaculate to where you get pregnant.

It can also help prevent STDs and STIs from being spread because again, you’re having sex with yourself so you don’t have the worries of passing on an unknown or known STD/STI or having it passed on to you.

Masturbating also helps you explore yourself and find what you like and don’t like when it comes to having sex. Being intimate with someone else means that they’re trying to please you and if you don’t know what you actually like, how can they accomplish the goal? Masturbating helps you figure out what actually gets you off and what you’re comfortable or not comfortable with.

What Getting Yourself Off Could Actually Prevent

So you already know that masturbating and getting yourself off brings pleasure and new discoveries but did you know that masturbating could actually prevent health issues?
