Masturbation is still the most mysterious element of a person’s sexual life. Some are deeply convinced that masturbation leads to blindness, that it’s better not to do this at all, so as not to waste seminal fluid, while others believe that masturbation is just as useful and natural as doing a full-fledged having sex.
Masturbation is the stimulation of male genitalia for sexual arousal and pleasure, usually accompanied by an orgasm. Masturbate almost everyone (about 90% of the world's inhabitants) and even those who have a constant sexual relationship with a partner. And do not be ashamed of this! But often after this lesson, a person feels guilty (60%) because of what happened, which can be explained by Puritan upbringing in the family or at school, where the harm of masturbation has been actively propagated for a long time. Let's try to find out what the harm and benefits of masturbation are.
The benefits of masturbation
In addition to the fact that during masturbation you can reach the highest peak of pleasure, this is a rather convenient and profitable way to give yourself pleasure, even without a permanent sexual partner. Moreover, scientists have proven that masturbation contributes to the production of substances that improve mood.
Engaged in masturbation, you can avoid unwanted pregnancy or transmission of sexually transmitted diseases. Masturbation is simply necessary in cases where a man must pass tests to check the quality of his sperm or donate sperm.
Also, the benefit of masturbation is that while having sex with it, you can delay the approaching orgasm, thereby allowing sex to last longer. In other words, through masturbation can solve the problem of premature erection.
Masturbation does not have an adverse effect on the body. If you masturbate more, then, in fact, the body produces more sperm.
It is known, after all, that all the muscles of our body need training. And so that over the years these muscles do not weaken, a man can at least occasionally masturbate. It is also useful for the prevention of urinary incontinence or erectile dysfunction.
An interesting fact is that masturbation helps strengthen the immune system. This is due to the fact that the hormone cortisol, which is produced during sex or masturbation, favorably affects the immune system.
In addition to the above, masturbation helps reduce stress in extreme situations. Therefore, if a man feels some kind of anxiety, he can only do himself a pleasure and relax. Moreover, it has been proved by Australian scientists that masturbating men are less likely to suffer from cancer than those who prefer not to masturbate.
The harm of masturbation - myth or truth
Medicine does not recognize the fact that masturbation can physically injure a man, although some cultures or religious communities still recognize masturbation as a deviation from the norm, which is a sign of a mental illness.
The main harm of masturbation is that it is extremely easy to get used to it, i.e. doing masturbation, you can no longer want a full-fledged sexual relationship with a real partner.
It is advisable not to restrain ejaculation during masturbation, since the harm of masturbation in this case is obvious - stagnation of the blood of the small pelvis (this also applies to delayed ejaculation during full sex), which can lead to more serious consequences in the future.
Masturbation is recognized as a problem in those cases when they are practiced in crowded places to satisfy their sexual needs (exhibitionism).
