Facts about masturbation

Take Away 

Masturbation is common and normal; almost everyone has done it. Masturbation frequency varies, as it does with any sexual action. Some people only masturbate once or twice a day, while others do it numerous times a day. When in a sexually gratifying relationship with another person, many people still masturbate. Is there such a thing as too much masturbation, but is there a 'normal' quantity of masturbation? 

What is masturbation?

Masturbation is the act of getting sexual pleasure by touching your genitals with your hand. It can include massaging the area surrounding your vagina and clitoris, a little soft bump in front of the vaginal entrance with your fingers or running the hand up and down your penis.

Masturbation can be done alone or with another person, and there is no right or wrong method to perform it. Some people may have negative feelings about masturbation, but it's vital to remember that it's perfectly natural and healthy. Many people utilise it to figure out their sexual preferences and what helps him orgasm.

Side effects of excess masturbation

There is no such thing as a "normal" quantity of masturbation, and it isn't hazardous if done frequently. However, if you masturbate frequently in a short period of time, your genitals may become irritated. This can result in an enlarged penis as a result of fluid in the tissues or oedema. While the swelling may appear scary, it will subside in a day or two. There's a very small chance of catching or carrying on a sexually transmitted infection (STI) if you masturbate with another person, but only if you transfer fluids, such as semen, to each other's genitals - on your fingers, for example. Masturbation has no effect on sperm count, contrary to popular belief. 

Addiction

Masturbation is a natural aspect of the sexual process. If you feel like you're masturbating too much and it's interfering with your life, you should try to cut back. Masturbating to the point of feeling 'out of control' is known as sex addiction. This is something that some people acquire in an attempt to filter out unwanted feelings or tough situations, and it can have a severe impact on their lives and the lives of their loved ones. If you're worried about masturbation addiction, look for tools and assistance online or seek help from your doctor.

Facts about masturbation:

1. Masturbation does not have the health benefits that sex has

Not all orgasms are made equal, it appears. Intercourse has been shown in numerous studies to benefit men's blood pressure, heart and prostate health, pain, and other factors. Masturbation, you'd assume, would as well. However, it does not.

What difference does it make if you ejaculate during intercourse or on your own? Nobody knows for sure. However, your body appears to react differently. When you masturbate rather than having intercourse, even the makeup of your sperm changes. Is it really that important? Have you been masturbating for the sole purpose of improving your prostate health all these years? I don't believe so. However, according to one study, masturbation may help minimize the incidence of prostate cancer.

2. Masturbation is not risk free

Yes, it is risk-free. It's the most secure type of intercourse. No one has ever contracted an STD or become pregnant by themself. However, it carries some dangers, just like other low-risk hobbies (chewing, walking). Minor skin irritation can be caused by frequent or rough masturbation. Forcefully twisting an erect penis can burst the blood-filled chambers, resulting in penile fracture, a rare but painful disorder.

Guys can get preoccupied with whether or not they masturbate excessively. The number of times you masturbate per week (or day) isn't what matters. Good for you if you masturbate several times a day and live a healthy, fulfilling life. Consider seeing a sex therapist if you masturbate frequently and are missing work or giving up on sex with the partner as a result. Even yet, there's nothing in particular about masturbation that is the issue. Compulsive masturbation is similar to any other disruptive behavior, such as obsessively playing poker or constantly monitoring social media.

The most detrimental fallacy regarding male masturbation is whether it indicates a relationship problem. The truth is that the majority of men masturbate. They masturbate whether they are single, in a bad relationship, or in a good one. It's merely something they do that will have no bearing on their relationships. Masturbation is about more than just sex. It's a common approach for many people to relieve tension, clear their heads before work, or fall asleep.

Masturbation is how guys discover what they want during sex, thus it can boost your sex life. There are some exceptions? Some men become addicted to a particular degree of pressure through masturbation or pornographic stimulation to the point that they are unable to function with a partner. Masturbation is a healthy thing for the great majority of males.

Take Away 

Masturbation causes shame and remorse in many people. We're sometimes taught that it's filthy and humiliating, but that it can limit sex chances in a relationship. It was taught to some of us that it was "slutty" or "perverted." Masturbation has a lot of negative connotations attached to it. As a result, there really are tales regarding its undesirable side effects, such as premature aging, infertility, and cheating.
