Masturbating is healthy: it not only strengthens our immune system, but also helps us fight pain! What sounds incredible is true. We’ll tell you how healthy masturbating is.
Good sex is not only fun, but also pushes our health! Because when we have an orgasm, numerous hormones are released and leave us floating on cloud nine. They act like an opiate and relieve pain. This positive effect occurs during normal sexual intercourse as well as when you are masturbating yourself. Why masturbating is healthy, how it can relieve pain and why you should bring yourself to climax during sexual pleasure, you can find out here.
Masturbation: Healthy for man and woman
Sex is the most beautiful pastime in the world! When our partner brings us to climax, it not only makes us happy thanks to endorphins, but is also healthy. The great thing is that whether with a partner or solo sex, the positive effect on health is a given.
According to the British magazine “New Scientist”, young men – aged 20 to 30 – should ejaculate more than five times a week to reduce the risk of prostate cancer. However, since changing partners can increase the risk of other diseases, men should rather masturbate regularly if they are not in a committed relationship.
But women should also masturbate regularly, because masturbating is also good for their health. What positive effects masturbation can have? We’ll tell you.
Masturbating relieves pain
To be precise, orgasm helps with (almost) all common ailments, such as:
- Neck and back pain: a study from Rutgers University in New Jersey found that orgasms – whether self-evoked or during sex – can combat chronic back and neck pain.
- Migraines, headaches and hangovers: orgasms release the hormones oxytocin, serotonin and endorphins. According to studies, they have a similar pain-relieving effect on our head as aspirin & Co. – only without any side effects…
- Heartache and high blood pressure: The oxytocin released during orgasm fights cortisol, which is the main cause of many strokes and heart attacks. In addition, masturbation stimulates the cardiovascular system and lowers blood pressure (think of the relaxed feeling after orgasm…).
- Menstrual pain and cramps: tension in the lower abdomen is released by an orgasm, the pelvic floor is loosened. If your partner does not want to travel “through the red sea”, you can do it yourself with a clear conscience.
- Labor pain: masturbation can even relieve the queen of all pains – labor pain! A testimonial from blogger Angela Gallo was recently the number one topic of conversation among expectant mothers.
Masturbation fights stress
Stress and tension are annoying, unhealthy and put us in a bad mood. What we need in such moments are happiness hormones, the so-called endorphins. They make us happy and let us relax. Where do you get them so quickly? When masturbating – at least when you climax.
Masturbating strengthens the immune system
If you have sex regularly, you strengthen your immune system. But even those who satisfy themselves do something good for their immune system: orgasms calm us down, satisfy us psychologically – and those who go through life relaxed fight pathogens more effectively. For men – according to a study – as already mentioned, the more often they masturbate, the lower the risk of developing prostate cancer.
