3 good reasons to masturbate

Masturbation is no longer taboo! Today, nearly 7 out of 10 women and nearly 9 out of 10 men admit to engaging in this practice regularly or occasionally. And they are right, because masturbation only presents advantages; for morale, for health or for couples!

Here is a small sample of the benefits.

Masturbation is relaxing

It's a fact, masturbation brings relaxation. During the act, the brain releases dopamine, the pleasure hormone, and endorphins, the anti-stress hormone.

Want to relax after a hard day's work? Treat yourself to a little solitary pleasure, there's nothing more effective! They even say it helps you sleep. Now you know what you have to do if you regularly suffer from insomnia.

And if you can achieve orgasm, it's even better, because it results in complete relaxation, both physical and mental.

Another advantage of masturbation; no need to wait for your partner to come home to relax, you can do it by yourself whenever you want and wherever you want.

Masturbating is good for your health

Contrary to popular belief, masturbation does not make you deaf. Or blind, for that matter. Endorphins, the hormones released when you masturbate (or have a shared sexual relationship), has many health benefits. It has recognized pain-killing effects. Try it, for example, when you have a migraine. Or even in the case of menstrual cramps; for some women, it is a very effective remedy.

It also increases estrogen levels, which is an excellent way to fight cardiovascular disease. Australian researchers even suggest that this would help reduce the risk of diabetes, cervical cancer and cystitis.

Masturbation is good for the couple! 

There's nothing selfish about occasional masturbation. On the contrary, it is excellent to get to know yourself better, to locate your erogenous zones, to know what has the most effect on you and therefore also what gives pleasure to others.

Sexologists say it: sexuality is learned on its own. According to some studies, women who masturbate and reach orgasm are more likely to reach it when they are in a couple. In short, sex is also a question of training.

Solitary pleasure can also make it possible to fill certain gaps or frustrations encountered in the life of a couple, without jeopardizing the relationship. Or simply to have fun when the other doesn't want to or doesn't have the head for it.

Not to mention that masturbation in front of your partner can also be a great way to spice up your sex life! It's perfect to reinforce complicity and make the desire go up a notch.

So a word to the wise…
