is it true that masturbation is healthy for you? if so, why?

drew1 is right, masturbation is also a great way to relieve stress im not sure if there are any major health benefits to it, but i know that there is absolutely nothing wrong with it! be safe!

For men - — Improving his immune system’s functioning.

— Building his resistance to prostate gland infection.

— Making for a healthier prostate.

For women - — Building her resistance to yeast infections.

— Combating pre-menstrual tension and other physical conditions associated with their menstrual cycles, like cramps.

— Relieving painful menstruation by increasing blood flow to the pelvic region. This will also reduce pelvic cramping and related backaches.

— Relieving chronic back pain and increasing her threshold for pain.

Both sexes - — The safest kind of sex, keeping you free of sexually transmitted infections.

— A great form of stress relief.

— A mood booster in releasing endorphins.

— A natural sleep sedative.

— A mechanism for building stronger pelvic floor muscles, which can lead to better sex.

— A natural energetic pick-me-up.

An excellent answer.

The only things I would add would be that just like your limbs, heart lungs and brain need regular exercise to remain in tip-top condition, so does your reproductive system, and even sexually active people rarely have sex daily, so masturbation is a great way to maintain the exercise to make up any shortfall.

Also, masturbation is the easiest way to learn how to control your physical and emotional response to sexual stimulation.

Many is the girl who has lost her virginity “accidentally” because she did not understand, well enough, what was happening to her physically and emotionally - things that she would have been better prepared for with adequate masturbation.

Finally, many women only learn how to achieve orgasm through practice during masturbation. Those who never masturbate can sometimes endure a lifetime of unfulfilled sex with an inattentive lover.
