Yes, It's Okay to Masturbate

It's ok to masturbate!

Masturbation seems to get a bad rrap often. On here there have been a couple of mytakes, although satire that have discussed the "dangers" of Masturbation. But there are actually some great health benefits from it. So to me there is nothing wrong with Masturbation and here's why:

Masturbation reduces stress

Orgasms produce a natural high. Plus some medical studies have shown that self love prevents depression and mental illness.

It's good for your heart

Self stimulation is a good way to help get your blood and heart pumping. In fact studied show that women and men who masturbated regularly show less risk of heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. That's all the more reason to enjoy it.

It helps you sleep

Masturbation releases hormones such as melatonin that goes to the brain to cause a feel good sleepy feeling. So after you orgasm, take a nap. Sleep is so important in your twenties!

Masturbation also helps:

Relieve menstural cramps and muscle tension

Provides sexual pleasure for anyone without the use of a partner,including the elderly

strengthen muscle tone in the pelvic and anal areas, reducing women’s chances of involuntary urine leakage and uterine prolapse

And it also improves our body image and confidence.

So in general those are just some benefits to Masturbation. There is nothing to be ashamed of. It is healthy. Don't listen to those who say it will cause you to go crazy,blind, or your penis will fall off. Relax and enjoy yourself.

  • Prior reading this, I assumed that this would be satire (from your title, I guess) but I see you're speaking in behalf of its benefits for one's health. Did I just read that it can help relieve cramps? Mind-blowing!!

    This Take is indeed an informative one.

    • Yes it does, especially with periods

    • Wow and I was thinking what to do cause I had terrible ones

  • Masturbation is dangerous for men tho. From what i'm aware a lot of guys who jerk off lose drive and the will to go after women. I think its part of why Japan is so soft.

    • Wut lol

    • @Bigick this is correct

  • Of course its okay.
    The only issue is the porn industry. Sex shouldn't be business.
    Gives a sense of entitlement and self gratification which isn't healthy for a fulfilling love life.
    No ritual is involved. No humanity. Its degrading us all.
    I am trying my best to quit but it's so convenient for the reasons you listed.. :(

    • same here.. were talking about watching right?

    • @slimstiffy yes, watching porn to masturbate. Wanna stop and learn to masturbate without porn!

    • i get really hard when fantasizing about girls.. but when i start stroking myself, somehow i can't focus on that fantasy anymore and i lose some wood. but with porn its easier and imand im always rock hard when stroking.. i have tried to quit many times but its not working. but its coz im single now. i dont watch porn at all when in a relationship! sex >>>>>>>>>>>> jacking to porn>> jacking normally

  • EXCELLENT, AWESOME - well written (& at a time when I needed that text the most ha ha - not for me obviously lol)

    • Thank you for liking my opinion buddy :)

  • Masturbation doesn't cause physical health problems, but it can cause mental ones. Chronic masurbation is associated with depression and ADHD. That's why a lot of "no fap" support group are poping up more and more.

    Masturbation does reduse stress like you said, but that's not always good. Stress motivates us to accomplish things. If you're a successful guy who gets thing done, that's a major component of being sexually attractive to women. Sex then calms you down and relaxes you, as if it is telling your body congratulations for a job well done.

    If, on the other hand, you're masturbating because you can't attract a woman, those stress relief hormones only serve to futher demotivae you from going out. We've all been there, horny and motivated to go out and meet a woman, but then choose to masturbate instead and then suddenly we've lost interest and would rather go to the gym or play video games instead.

    If you supress your urge to be successful, accomplish things, and meet women you will likely not do so, or at least not very well, which can result in depression and a general dissatisfaction with life.

    • It sounds more like you're referring to being addicted to masturbation. In that case yes of course it's a bad thing! But that's the same for an addiction to anything

    • Should horniness really be one's motivation to meet women? Then won't you be one of those guys who only wants one thing from them? Plus some people are abstinent for whatever reason, especially before marriage. That means no matter how successful they become with women while single, it will never lead to sex. What are they supposed to do?

    • @xobrowneyedbeauty Not necessarily. An addiction is defined as something you don't want to do because you know it is harmful, but do it anyway because the urge and temptation to do so is too much to resist. If you don't know something is harmful and you aren't trying to stop, then you wouldn't know if you are addicted. For example, I used to buy a particular food item at the store, then one time I read the label and realized soy was one of the main ingredients do I stopped eating it. I wasn't addicted, but that didn't change the harmful effects. Granted the effects of small amounts of soy is tiny, but most of life involves lots of little thing that add up to big things overtime. You don't have to be chronically addicted masturbating 5 times a day and never talking to women for it to be harmful. Any masturbation will affect, you just have to decide how much is acceptable.

  • Very misleading take.
    Masturbation reduces stress, masturbation releases x hormone, etc etc.
    All the biological benefits you stated are the effects of the orgasm, not the act of masturbation.
    You can not attribute all these biological benefits to masturbation. It is false and misleading.
    If orgasming has good benefits, you can not jump and attribute these benefits to how the orgasm was reached.
    An example to illustrate the point.
    A group of men attack a girl and rape her and she orgasms. We can not say oh rape is good for you, rape releases all these hormones that will do you good.
    Bear in mind that I am not passing judgement on masturbation here and trying to pass it as bad or good or anything.
    Just showing how it is false and misleading to attribute all the biological benefits to masturbation.
    They belong to orgasming.

  • I agree with everything you said. But there's still people who think that masturbation is unhealthy.

  • All good points. :) Short, sweet, and to the point.

  • Masturbation is good as long as you don't fap to porn, then it has a lot of side effects. I'm not saying that you shouldn't watch porn, but don't do both things together.

  • Totally agree with it helpig you sleep. Works great for me.

  • Pretty sure people who need to say "it's okay to masturbate" still believe deep down that masturbation is wrong and unchristianlike...

    • In the dictionary MASTURBATION comes up as SELF ABUSE, WELL I STILL ABUSE MYSELF THEN.

    • @HYPNOSEX please don't post on my comments. thanks in advance

    • Onan spilled his seed and that was directly against what God told him to do so disobedience. If lot can offer up his daughters to gangbangersthen I don't think Jesus gives two rips if I play with my kitty😸

      The Christian thing to do would be to love people and care for the poor, not sit around thinking Gods going to smite anyone who dares to touch their crotch.

  • IM MARRIED TO SAME WOMAN 30 PLUS YEARS, i MASTURBATE, AND RECENTLY MY WIFE HAS FOUND THAT SELF PLEASURING IS GREAT, SHE NOW TURNS ME ON WHEN MASTURBATING NEXT TO ME, SOME TIMES IM SURE SHE HAS A REAL GOOD SESSION WITH THE TOYS ALONE, THATS FINE. I love it when she slips her wet fingers in my mouth, long live us wankers.

  • I could not agree more... plus one more important thing... It feels great!

  • As long as masturbation is kept as a private activity, it shouldn't be a problem. It promotes sexual health and harms no one. I regard masturbation as the safest form of receiving sexual pleasure.

    • So do you masturbate?

    • @Luck4Luck No.

    • Why do u feel it should b kept private?

  • Masturbation clears the mind. I can't think of a decision that isn't for the better if i've knocked one out.

  • All really good points.

  • My B. O. B approves of this Take.
