6 Reasons Why Masturbation Is Better Than Partnered Sex

1. No Spread of STDs/STIs
Why Masturbation Is Better Than Partnered Sex

Masturbation involves no STD/STI transmission. How can there be? A transmission REQUIRES two or more people. Although it is possible for a pathogen in one location of the body to be "transmitted" to another, that is not called or recognized as an "STD transmission". And if you are a virgin, then you can masturbate all you want without any worries about contracting STDs!

2. No Chance of Pregnancy In Any Way

You need a person with a fully functional male reproductive system and a person with a fully functional female reproductive system to make a baby. It is impossible to self-fertilize. Humans are born as male or as female, not male AND female. Humans are not hermaphroditic (though, that would be kind of cool). Intersex people are not hermaphrodites, because to be a hermaphrodite, you need functional male and female reproductive organs.

3. You Know Yourself

You know yourself. You know what your body likes and dislikes. You know what pleasures you and what hurts you. You know when to stop, when to move forward, what to do next, etc. These feelings are locked inside your brain, and only you have the key to access them.

4. No Hurt Feelings

You know yourself well enough that you will not hurt yourself. No one is hurt during masturbation. No regrets either.

5. No Need To Ask For Consent; You Just Do It

Before, during, and after partnered sex, you have to communicate to your partner. Failure of communication or misinterpretation of behaviors or words can get you in trouble by the law. If you are masturbating, then you have no one but yourself to ask, and asking yourself whether you want to touch here or there sounds a bit silly. You either do it or don't. Don't overthink this. Masturbation is not rocket science.

6. Best Way To Relieve Sexual Urges

Masturbation is the safest form of experiencing sexual pleasure. No physical, emotional, or spiritual harm will come afterwards, because no one except you knows what you're doing in your bedroom under the bed covers. You receive the pleasures of sex (orgasm) without the drama or the hassle of dealing with STDs/STIs, pregnancies, regrets, or spiritual death.

What Girls & Guys Said

  • 7) vagina is gross and i would never want to touch/be inside it

  • yes but it will never bring you love in your life, only another being of the opposite gender can give that to you, but i guess girls are different and they obviously dont want that. and rather be single.

    • Love doesn't exist and the mistake many men keep making is thinking that only a woman can bring you true happiness in life. But divorce rates and male homeless rates afterwards show a different story.

    • @EndofExistence love exists, its just not always returned.

    • Love is a chemical imbalance in a males brain to make him stick around a woman long enough to raise children. If fades away constantly just like hormones do in your body.

  • Yes, but partnered sex feel so much better. All you senses are used touch, smell, taste (presumable), there is really not comparison.

    The one is just to get off, the other emotional explosions, totally different.

  • my boyfriend never satisfied me and only i could do that

  • If people took this line of thinking more often, stds would spread to more people. If the more sensible, presumably std free people leave the 'sexing' pool, a greater proportion of people in said pool are risker, and therefore more likely to have an std. The remaininng people in the pool who are std free have a higher probabilty of coming into contact with an std carrier and therefore the proportion of std carriers increases, thus the perpetual cycle continues at a greater rate.

  • 6 reasons to further the depopulation agenda.

  • Yeah its pretty great but the pleasure of feeling someone else's body and feelings must be better

  • Nope I prefer pussies over my hands.

    • People still use their hands in 2016? Sheesh... get some toys!

  • no thanks, i have my partner and we really enjoy our time together. There is something way better when you are with a guy. Ooooh, that feeling is giving me tingles already.

  • Nice take.

    If you wanted to do something with a partner though without having full on sex, you could just dry hump.

    This is what me and my boyfriend do since I am unsure on sex before marriage - We dry hump, sometimes touch each other but over our clothes unless it's just my bare chest he is touching.

    We're both cool with that and there's no chance of STDs/STIs or pregnancy with it so we cool.

  • 7. You can get it whenever you want.

    8. You don't have to go through a lot of BS - this from someone who spent this very evening in futility at a match. com event.
