How can over masturbation hurt your health?

If you have read about the positive effects of masturbation and you think that you should practice it as much as you can then you are wrong. Although masturbation is part of our natural sexuality and part of the lives of almost every men and women, over masturbation can have negative impact on our sexual health. So, how exactly can over masturbation hurt our health?

Over masturbation can cause both physical and emotional issues. For example if you are practicing excessive masturbation after a certain period you will start to feel discomfort and pain in the genital area. Those who don’t stop at the first signs might get physical injuries that are clearly visible. These are obvious signs of over masturbation.

Some people seem to have need for repeated masturbation. These people unconsciously masturbate in what appears a pattern of series. They are not doing this in order to achieve sexual satisfaction but rather to stress out and start feeling relaxed. If you notice that you are starting to masturbate when you are feeling tensed and stresses and tend to repeat that every time you feel like that, it looks like you are masturbating only to avoid stressful situations which is wrong.  You will start thinking that masturbation is a solution for all your emotional problems and you won’t deal with those problems in a proper way.

In some cases people feel depressed and lonely after masturbation. If you feel discomfort after that, you should think about emotional state, because masturbation is a way to explore your own sexuality and it should make you satisfied not miserable after you are finished.

Masturbation is practiced by people that are single as well as by people who are in a serious relationship. But excessive masturbation might separate you from your partner if you are in a sexual relationship. The same goes for those who are single – you might feel lesser need to be romantically involved with another person. This comes as a direct result of creating your own fantasy world in which you have the main role and you don’t need anyone else. This feeling is very unhealthy and could lead to some serious psychological disorders.

People have different feelings when they are finished with the masturbation. Most of them feel relaxed and satisfied while others might feel embarrassed.  If you feel embarrassed you should find the reasons for that, but before you start with that search stop masturbating because it might ruin your self-confidence.

If you can’t stop thinking about masturbation throughout the day, this is a clear sign that something is wrong with you. For example, you are out shopping but you still think about masturbation, this means that masturbation is starting to interrupt your everyday activities. Obsession is bad thing.

You should also know that masturbation can cause addiction. If you feel that you don’t stop with masturbation whenever you want than there is a high possibility that you are addicted. In cases like these you should seek advice from your doctor.

Why Is Female Masturbation Good For The Health?

Have you noticed that when you read about masturbation it is usually about male masturbation? Female masturbation is still considered to be a taboo but in the recent years there were several studies that came to a conclusion that female masturbation affects health in a positive way. So besides regular sex, occasional masturbation can be beneficial for women. These are some of effects of female masturbation:

–      Cardiovascular system and diabetes

Recent researches have proven that female orgasms strengthen the resistance of female bodies to cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Of course these orgasms can be achieved by having sex with a partner but they can also be achieved with masturbation (especially if the woman doesn’t have a partner).

–      Infections

Masturbation is also very helpful when it comes to infections. It is good for both infections of the cervix and against urinary tract infections. It is a well known fact that masturbation lowers the risk of prostate cancer in men and recent studies have shown that masturbation practiced by women can lower the risk of cervical cancer. Once again the main reason for this is the orgasm itself, because it opens up the uterus and encourages production and distribution of so-called good bacteria in that area. Masturbation can also be useful in cases of urinary tract infections because it eases the pain which is a common thing in these infections. Besides that it helps the process of ejection of old and useless bacteria.

–      Pelvic

Masturbation, or orgasms to be more precise, strengthens the bottom of the pelvic which is especially important for women who have given birth. Throughout masturbation, and especially when the masturbation gets to the climax (orgasm), comes to muscle contractions and accelerated blood flow. All these things have great effects on the consolidation of the pelvic floor that leads to increased sexual pleasure and desire too.

–      Sleeping

Masturbation requires some energy and that is why many women (even without doing that intentionally) start masturbating after a long and busy day at work because that gives them a sense of relaxation and it helps them sleep faster and tighter. It is a known fact that masturbation encourages the release of dopamine in the body and those levels are at their maximum before the orgasm occurs. After the orgasm is achieved, oxytocin and endorphins are released that gives a feeling of calmness and warmth in every woman. Because of this feeling it is much easier for the woman to go to bed and sleep without having any problems.

–      Relaxation and mood

With the help of the hormones that are released during masturbation, the female body successfully fights the symptoms caused by stress. Hormones that lead to depression and bad moods are replaced with other hormones that bring happiness and calmness. Few researches have proven that masturbation drastically reduces emotional stress and this is very important because this stress is a direct cause of many diseases. Another research has shown that masturbation can remove bad mood instantly.

Why Is Masturbation Exercise Good For Our Health?

Throughout the history masturbation was considered to be wrong. It was usually described as something sinful and morally wrong. Modern society has slowly changed its view on masturbation and although it remains a taboo there are a lot of researches that are conducted and that prove that practicing masturbation is good for human health.

In the moment when some person experiences orgasm, the body is filled hormones and substances that make that person feel good and happy, and those substances can also improve the general health. We all know how healthy is to practice sex with another person, but having solo sex can also be beneficial for many aspects of human health.

  1. Masturbation exercise enhances immune system. During the orgasm among many hormones that are released there is one hormone called Oxytocin that helps white blood cells to fight infections in a better and more efficient way. According to some studies, women that have higher levels of Oxytocin in their bodies are dealing with their period much easier. It is also helpful for menstrual cramps and other types of pain.
  2. No matter how you achieve an orgasm, it is always useful when it comes to stress. Stress is number one factor for many diseases and by practicing masturbation you will feel relaxed and calm.
  3. Consider masturbation as a form of exercise. With the help of masturbation you can burn calories and fat. Keep in mind that having sex with a partner requires much more physical activity but masturbation can still be helpful because of all the muscles that are active during the process, increased blood flow and faster breathing. It sounds like a good cardiovascular exercise right?
  4. Some people are afraid of having sex because of the risk that it brings – all types of diseases or the chance of conception even though they use protection. Abstinence can help with that problem but the sex drive can’t be surprised for a long time. Masturbation is probably the safest method to achieve orgasm and have something close to actual sex without worrying about the things mentioned before.
  5. The best way to improve your sexual techniques is to explore your body to the fullest extent. And it looks like there is no better way to do it other than masturbation. Masturbation allows you to explore your erogenous zones and find out what turns you on and what gives you pleasure. This experimentation with your own body will eventually lead to having more pleasure when you have intercourse with your partner and you will feel more confident once you know yourself.
  6. There are many people, especially women, who can’t reach orgasm with their sexual partners. The reasons can be different – traumatic experience from the past, medical conditions, orgasmic dysfunctions etc. Whatever the reason is, these people can reach orgasm much easier if they rely on masturbation. Personal stimulation may allow the body to be more sensitive to sexual contact with others.
