Masturbation Month

Since May is masturbation month, here are 5 reasons you should be masturbating:

1.      Masturbation is educational. The best way to learn what feels good in your body is to discover it for yourself. Taking the time to find out what turns you on or even how much pressure feels the best is easier when you’re on your own without the added pressure a partner can bring.

2.      Masturbation alleviates stress. Especially right now during the pandemic, I think we could all use a little stress reduction. Studies have shown orgasms alleviates stress and a lot more fun than going for a run.

3.      Masturbation helps your relationship. Research shows those who masturbate have more sex and have healthier relationships.

4.      Masturbation can boost your immune system. Orgasms are an instant immune booster.

5.      Masturbating IS self-care.  Whether you count the calories you burn (average of 4.2 per minute) or the fact that orgasms can relieve headaches, there are oodles of benefits from taking time to practice this fun and pleasurable self-care.

Whether you are someone who only touches yourself occasionally or often, do what feels good to you. Literally. This month, be intentional is setting aside time to explore your body and your pleasure.
