How Much Masturbation is too Much?

One question we always get hit up with is: how much masturbation is too much? Obviously you should do everything in moderation and as long as you are always getting pleasure in what you’re doing you should be on the right path.

Apart from deriving sexual and erotic pleasure from masturbating, did you know that masturbating is also beneficial to your health? 

Today’s post identifies some of the health benefits that come along with masturbation.

Benefits of Masturbation

Lowers Risk of Cancer

This is perhaps one of the most surprising health benefits of masturbation.

Masturbating can actually help you lower the risk of cancer, particularly prostate cancer, and this was established by a correlation study conducted in 2004. 

Last Longer in Bed

A common issue when it comes to sex is that sometimes men can’t last long enough and this is attributable to a lack of practice and preparation.

One of the best ways for you to practice is by masturbating. For example, if it normally takes you one minute to ejaculate, aim for two minutes next time. Keep practicing and soon enough you’ll be able to last longer in bed.

Helps You Fall Asleep

If you are struggling with insomnia, masturbating can help you fall asleep faster and have quality rest.

This is because when you ejaculate, your body releases natural chemicals, such as prolactin, serotonin, and oxytocin, which all contribute to falling asleep and rest.

Reduces Stress

As masturbation leads to an orgasm and an orgasm ultimately confers feelings of pleasure and contentment, it also leads you to reduce stress and generally feel happier.

On the scientific side, masturbation leads to the release of bodily chemicals like oxytocin and dopamine which creates a sense of happiness, thus, relieving stress naturally,

Improves Body Immunity

Masturbating helps release a hormone known as cortisol which, in small quantity, helps regulate and improve the overall immunity within your body.

It can be indirectly seen as prolonging your lifespan as well by having a stronger and strengthened immunity.

Conclusion 

Masturbating is without a doubt a great way for you to relieve sexual tension and gain pleasure. In addition, it also has health benefits that help improve your wellness and lifestyle as well.
