Advantages & Disadvantages Of Masturbation by Daxclusivecom: 7:20am On Oct 08, 2022
Masturbation is simply the stimulation of the genitals with the hand for sexual pleasure.

The stimulation may involve hands, fingers, everyday objects, intimacy gadgets such as vibrators, etc

Masturbation is the first Sexual act experienced by most males and females. In young children, masturbation is a normal part of the growing child’s exploration of their body. Most people continue to masturbate in adulthood and many do so throughout their lives.

Masturbation may or may not lead to orgasm. People masturbate for many reasons. These include pleasure, enjoyment, fun, and tension release. Some individuals masturbate alone while some masturbate with a partner.

Mutual masturbation is masturbation with a sexual partner and may include manual stimulation of the partner’s genitals( fingering or a hand job), or may be used as a form of non-penetrative sex.

Most boys and girls, men and women continue to masturbate either alone or together when they are in a relationship or married, and many find it an enjoyable part of their relationship

Masturbation is frequent in both sexes and at any age. Various medical and psychological benefits have been attributed to a healthy attitude toward sexual activities in general and masturbation in particular. No causal relationship is known between masturbation and any form of mental or physical disorder. In the Western world, masturbation in private or with a sexual partner is generally considered a healthy and normal part of sexual enjoyment

Generally, the medical community considers masturbation to be a natural and harmless expression for both men and women. It does not cause any physical injury or harm to the body and can be performed in moderation throughout a person’s lifetime as a part of normal sexual behavior. Some cultures and religions oppose masturbation or even label it as sinful which can lead to guilt or shame about the behavior.

In addition to feeling good, masturbation is a good way of relieving the sexual tension that can build up over time, especially for people whose partners are not willing or available for sex. Masturbation is also a safe sexual alternative for people who wish to avoid pregnancy and the dangers of Sexually Transmitted Diseases.

It is also necessary when a man must give a semen sample for infertility testing or sperm donation. When sexual dysfunction is present in an adult, masturbation may be prescribed by a sex therapist to allow a person to experience an orgasm ( especially in women) or to delay its arrival ( in men).

Some people may feel guilty about masturbation because of cultural, spiritual, or religious beliefs. Masturbation is neither wrong nor immoral but you may still hear messages that self-pleasure is shameful and dirty

2. Addiction
Addiction to masturbation can harm your relationships and other parts of your life because you don’t spend as much time with your loved ones as you used to, or don’t pay attention to their needs.
Masturbating too much may interrupt your work or studies which may lower productivity.

3. Decrease in Sensitivity
Masturbation can affect sensitivity during sex for men because of their technique. Research has shown that too tight of a grip on a penis during masturbation can decrease sensation. Sexual Health experts recommend changing your technique during masturbation to restore sensitivity levels during sex

4. Doing Daily
Few experts consider masturbating daily to be excessive. Masturbating daily can lead to weakness, fatigue, and early ejaculation, and may inhibit sexual activities with your partner. It may cause testicular pain as well.

In conclusion, sexual drive is natural, however, an excess of anything is harmful.
Therefore, rather than increasing the frequency of masturbation, you can consider diverting your energy to other things such as sports or any other hobbies that can also boost your mood and make you happy.
