Masturbation and diseases?
For a long time, masturbation was considered something terribly naughty, even increasing the risk of various diseases. Nowadays, fortunately, we have come a bit further.
Of course, masturbation doesn't make you sick any more than regular use of a dildo or vibrator makes your vagina stretch or your private parts insensitive to touch.
In fact, the opposite is true. In fact, masturbating can actually help reduce various health risks in women.
Masturbating is healthy
Masturbating has a number of health benefits. This is mainly due to the hormones that the body releases. So by masturbating regularly, you're not only getting some fun and relaxation. You are also contributing to your health in a pleasant way.
For women, regular masturbation is said to, among other things:
- strengthen the immune system,
- support the cardiovascular system,
- reduce the risk of cervical cancer
- and prevent bladder infections.
Masturbation has a pain-relieving effect
Masturbating is not only healthy. Masturbation can also help you counteract all kinds of pain in everyday life. For example, if you have a headache, migraine or pain in your neck, masturbation might be a good alternative to taking painkillers.
This also applies if you suffer from unpleasant period pains or PMS symptoms such as back pain and severe abdominal pain. So even during these times of the menstrual cycle, masturbation can do more for you than just provide a little fun and relaxation.
Even with the labour pains that come with childbirth, masturbation is said to help provide relief.
Masturbating can relieve menstrual pain
Are you one of those women who suffer from particularly severe menstrual cramps during their period? You are not alone. But we have good news for you. Masturbating can be a great way to relieve your period pain.
The cramps in your lower abdomen, combined with your menstrual bleeding, can quickly make everyday life a real pain. The next time your period pain makes you want to retire to bed with a hot water bottle, give it a try.
Chances are your period pain will go away, or at least decrease significantly, thanks to the relaxing effect of orgasm.
Masturbating for PMS symptoms
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is estimated to affect about 80 per cent of all women to a greater or lesser degree. So chances are good that you also suffer from symptoms like headaches and back pain before your period.
Masturbation can help you counteract your PMS symptoms and relieve the discomfort that makes everyday life challenging in the days leading up to your period.
Masturbation improves sleep
If you have trouble falling asleep at night or wake up more frequently at night, masturbating can help. Instead of tossing and turning in bed and counting sheep, use the time next time to have a little fun with yourself.
You'll find that you're much more likely to fall asleep and stay asleep through the night this way.
Masturbating reduces stress
Stress is part of everyday life for most of us. Between all the professional and private obligations, there is often little time to relax and find peace. Masturbating, or the happy hormones your body releases during orgasm, can do wonders for stress relief.
Why not try it the next time you feel like you're so busy you don't know where your head is at?
Masturbation increases well-being
Depression is increasingly becoming a widespread disease. The happiness hormones released and the relaxing effect of masturbation can help to improve well-being and counteract bad moods.
Try it out for yourself. Please note, however, that this is no substitute for any medical or psychological treatment that may be required.
Masturbating with or without sex toys?
Of course, it's entirely up to you how you satisfy yourself. Whether you simply use your hand or one of the countless sex toys available on the market makes no difference to the benefits of masturbation. The only thing that matters is that you get your money's worth and have fun masturbating.
Masturbate or have sex?
Are you wondering if sex has the same benefits as masturbation? We can answer this question with a resounding yes. Having regular sex with your partner and getting your money's worth can also help to relieve stress, improve your well-being and counteract your period pains.
By the way, you don't need to worry about hygiene or health during your period. Sex during your period is not unhygienic, nor is there anything medically wrong with having sex.
Our conclusion on masturbation
As you can see, there is nothing at all wrong with masturbation and a lot to be said for it. Masturbation reduces stress and can lower the risk of various diseases.
It can also help relieve period pains and pain caused by premenstrual syndrome if you masturbate regularly. For this reason alone, masturbation is probably a good thing for every woman.
