11 Reasons Science Wants You To Masturbate More
It makes you happier - Masturbation releases two endorphins - dopamine and oxytocin. These chemicals improve your mood and release a natural high.
It can help you have better sex - Masturbation tones and strengthens the pelvic muscles - which means 'training' can lead to better and longer sex. As you age, pelvic exercise can even prevent erectile dysfunction and incontinence. And, according to the University of Chicago, frequent masturbaters have more sex than those who masturbate less often.
It's a natural hay fever remedy - A blocked nose in the summer is caused by swollen and inflamed nasal blood vessels, irritated by pollen in the air. During masturbation, the nervous system constricts blood vessels, soothing those in your nose and allowing you to breathe normally.
It can fight cancer - An Australian study found that men who masturbate more than 2 times a week are 36% less likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer before the age of 70 than those who masturbate less.
It boosts your self-esteem - Studies found that women who masturbate have overall higher self-esteem than those who don't because they know what their body is capable of.
It fights off infection - For women, a morning pleasure session can help prevent cervical and urinary tract infections by encouraging fluid circulation, according to Anthony Santella of the University of Sydney. Masturbation also boosts cortisol levels, which regulates immune functioning.
It's great for your hair- Dr Michael Roizen points out that blood flow is a major determinate of both internal and external beauty. The increased blood flow during masturbation is great for both your skin and your hair.
It relieves cramps - Flying solo that time of the month increases blood flow to the pelvic area, easing pain. Muscle contractions that occur during masturbation relieve tension in the muscles of the uterus.
It can help prevent diabetes - Studies have found that women who regularly masturbate could be less prone to type-2 diabetes.
It improves sleep - According to Dr. Sheenie Ambardar, masturbation releases the hormone prolactin, which is responsible for feelings of relaxation and sleepiness .
It's a pain killer - Sex researcher Beverly Whipple found that a woman's pain threshold spiked by nearly 75% after climaxing through masturbation. This is most likely due to the avalanche of neurotransmitters released post-orgasm.
