Men, Are You Masturbating Enough? (10 Reasons Why It’s REALLY Good For You!)

Among other things, masturbating often could reduce a man’s risk of prostate cancer.

Research from Harvard University says that men who have 21 or more orgasms per month could cut their odds by 33%. 31,925 men were surveyed, sending them questionnaires about how often they engaged in self-love. They were tracked for 18 years, recording which men developed prostate cancer in that time period. The men were assessed at three different points: the year before the questionnaire was distributed, in their 20s, and again in their 40s.

More frequent rates of masturbation were associated with lower rates of prostate cancer. This the first time researchers came up with an actual jack quota.

Dr. Kerner points out.

“There isn’t a difference in whether the ejaculation happens via masturbation or with a partner. So making sex a priority is also helpful.”

It is also recommended to reduce the risk sticking with a plant-based diet, eating plenty of fish rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, and

“consuming red foods such as tomatoes that are rich in lycopene, as well as soy products that contain isoflavones.”

Get regular physicals that include a prostate exam, and plenty of exercise too. Here are those 10 reasons according to Random Science.

1. It cuts the risk of prostate cancer.

“The more you flush the ducts out, the less there is to hang around and damage the cells that line them.”

2. Masturbation can function as a cardiovascular workout.

People suffering from cardiovascular disorders, say those recovering from myocardial infarction or heart attacks) should resume physical activity gradually. Masturbation can be a good option since it helps proper blood flow and breathing.

3. It releases tension and stress.

Whether from masturbation or intercourse, sexual climax leaves one in a relaxed and contented state. Most usually, it is followed by drowsiness and sleep. Another consequence is that masturbation fights depression.

4. It keeps you in good health.

In a 2008 study at Tabriz Medical University, it was found out that ejaculation reduces swollen nasal blood vessels, freeing the airway for normal breathing. The act stimulates the sympathetic nervous system and its effect is long lasting. Other literatures claim that masturbation also stimulates the immune system and can be a cure for insomnia. In general, masturbation can keep everything about the body – heart rate, blood pressure, reproductive system, brain chemistry – in very good shape.

5. It improves sexual relationships.

Masturbation can be very helpful in relationships where one partner needs sex more than the other. It gives a balancing effect, and thus, a more harmonious relationship. Furthermore, mutual masturbation can aid couple in exploring or revealing each other’s “map to pleasure centers.” In this act, partners stimulate themselves in the presence of each other. This way, one finds out the methods they can use to pleasure him- or herself, allowing each partner to learn exactly how the other enjoys being touched.

6. Masturbation helps combat premature ejaculation.

It is very helpful to get any guy in touch with his body and is a great way to get familiar with its responses to touch. Here, there is no pressure and it allows him to remain calm and pay attention to the experience.

7. It is safe.

Unlike sexual intercourse, masturbation has no risk of contacting gonorrhea, syphilis, AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases and infections.

8. It has no performance anxiety.

Masturbation is performed hassle-free. There is no need for any condom, pills or drugs, or worry about a pregnancy. Plus, it can be done anytime or anywhere.

9. It can improve self-confidence and self-awareness.

Masturbation can be called as “Self-Awareness Exercise.” It is the safest and most natural way to explore your sexuality and to know yourself well. Consequently, it develops your self-esteem and makes you confident in what you have and know. In the future when you grow older, a fulfilling sex life is not hard to achieve.

10. It can help earn extra income and give the gift of life.

Not all guys are blessed with the gift to procreate, or are long past the ability. Hence, some couples resort to sperm bank. Masturbation paves the way for sperm donation which helps desperate couple to start a complete family life. For the part of the donor, it is an additional income.
