I often see discussions on here about whether women on G@G masturbate, how often, and how do they do it. Often the responses are "no", "it is a sin", "it will only cause you to not enjoy 'real' sex", and "I would never do that." And often it is pretty much the same from guys. But at least in the Sexual Behavior topic, most women admit to having masturbated at least once, and many admit they still do, but not often.
So the questions that arise are "should women masturbate?" (or anyone?), "is it good to do?", and "how often should I do it." There are lots of opinions put up each time the question arises, but what do the "experts" think? What is their advice?
Well, The Huffington Post ran an article that is named (coincidentally) "13 Reasons Every Woman Should Masturbate Regularly".
I want to give a quick look at the "findings" and I will later post a link so that you may read the whole article if you wish. Remember guys, most of this works for you, too.
First, the article points out some facts that were surprising to me. According to a survey on sex health and behavior, while most women over 18 admit to having masturbated at least once, only 7.9 percent between 25 and 29 masturbate two to three times a week, 23.4 percent of men do. That actually seems like a very small number. So The Huffington Post interviewed doctors and came up with the article.
The most obvious find was that masturbating makes you happier. It does this by releasing endorphins that improve your mood and create a natural high. Heck, that enough sounds like a good enough reason!
Masturbating makes you more comfortable with your body and by exploring, you become more familiar with it.
You learn what feels best for you and can communicate that to your partner during sexual activity.
And we all know that it releases sexual tensions.
Masturbating can help with menstrual cramps. And, hey, it definitely is more fun than the heating pad.
Even when you are in a relationship, it can help make sex better by mixing things up. Plus, the more sex you have, the more you want, so masturbation can stimulate desire for "the real thing".
Masturbation can help you learn how to have multiple orgasms! Now who would not appreciate that?
No Downsides!
As I said these (and other) reasons can be found in the article at 13 Reasons to Masturbate. The pictures also came from that article.
Something the article did not get into that is definitely a plus is that it is a fun thing for partners to do together sometimes. That, with the reasons given in the article, should show most people the advantages of enjoying "Solo Sex". I hope you take the time to read the full article.
