Masturbating can, arguably, be of the best feelings in the world. Once you become comfortable with exploring your pleasure, the world of masturbation becomes a powerful way for you to harness your sexual energy. And what’s best is that you can unleash this pleasure nearly any time you want to since it doesn’t require having a partner.
Masturbation is good for your overall health and wellbeing, but it’s also good for your sexual health. There are many ways that masturbation can boost our sexual health. Curious what they are? Read on.
It’s the safest form of sex out there
The best part of masturbation? Unlike sexual activities that involve a partner, there is no risk that comes along with it. With any partner-related activity, there is always a risk of sexually transmitted infection, even when practiced safely. When masturbating by yourself, there is never a risk of pregnancy or a sexually transmitted infection.
For those with a uterus, it can make your pelvic floor stronger
A strong pelvic floor is key to achieving the most mind-blowing orgasms that those with a vulva can feel. Masturbation and other forms of sexual activity are basically a workout for your nether-regions. So, just like your arms, legs, and core get stronger the more your lift weights, the pelvic floor is strengthened the more time it spends under tension when you’re engaging in self-pleasure.
It increases your libido
What’s more important for sexual health than libido? Nothing, literally. Your libido is key to having a strong sex life. Let’s face it — without a high libido, you’re probably not going to want to engage in sexual activities. Going through a dry spell or facing a time of high stress? Try masturbating. It’s likely to help you crave your partner.
For those with a penis, it can help you last longer in bed
Most people with a penis know that if they haven’t had sex in a while and then do the deed, they tend to orgasm quickly. The good news is that it’s not just sexual intercourse that can help you last long during sex. Masturbation helps to extend your tolerance before reaching orgasm, too. If you want to last longer with your partner, try engaging in masturbation regularly.
It leads to a greater, more pleasurable experience with your partner
Masturbation leads to both knowing your own body better and an increased comfort level with sexual behaviors. Both of these things work together to lead to better sex with your partner. Experimenting by yourself allows you to get to know the exact spaces and places that need attention and it gives you the confidence to share this knowledge with your partner. Another solo sex win!
Now that you know some of the many ways that masturbation is good for your sexual health, it’s time to masturbate! Whether you choose to use your hand(s) or one of the many toys on the market, you’re sure to see some of these benefits right away, and there are many ways to take masturbation to the next level.
