Talking about masturbation is still quite taboo. And more so for women. It is also traditionally believed that masturbating is solely a man thing, which is so not true. Because it opens up a khazaane ka bhandaar, far more than what you may already know about or what you can imagine. Know more about the 10 reasons why you should masturbate and let your fingers do all the talking.
1. Relieves Headaches & Menstrual Cramps
During an orgasm, the release of serotonin, the brain chemical that controls the sensation of pain, enables us to bear twice as much pain as we usually can otherwise. It is as effective as the medicine called analgesic which keeps pain in check. Not just while you’re having headaches and body aches, you now know what to do when menstrual cramps seem to overpower your life.
2. Improves Skin Health
Yeah, you read that right! Introduce a completely satisfying sesh of some self-love into your daily skincare routine for that glow of health. Orgasm improves blood circulation in the skin, making blood vessels open up. You may even see a rosy flush on your cheeks while you’re at it. The release of oxytocin during orgasm can reduce inflammation, making acne and zits less prominent.

3. Heart Health
We’ve set ourselves up for diabetes, cholesterol, and all the life-threatening heart conditions with the lifestyle that we live. Regular orgasms are a proven way to significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular conditions like heart attack and stroke. The next time you feel like doing nothing else other than pleasuring yourself, you will know that you’re actually doing yourself a favour.
4. Boosts Immunity
Serotonin and oxytocin aren’t the only hormones at play while you’re indulging in some self-care between the sheets. Cortisol, which otherwise is known as a stress hormone, works its magic in regulating and maintaining your immune system to a certain extent. What’s more, you’re expected to have more white blood cells (WBCs) in your body 45 minutes after a hot sesh.
5. Raise Your Lifespan
Studies have shown that masturbating two to three times a week helps you outlive those who do not pleasure themselves. Love to live a quality, long life? Touch yourself at least a couple of times a week to repeat its dividends over the years.
6. Get Some Unhindered Sleep
Chuck all those sleep medications that usually come with a whole lot of damaging side effects, let your fingers do all the work to put yourself to a long, relaxing sleep. The hormones like oxytocin, prolactin, and serotonin released at this time are all you need to keep stress at bay, relax your body and mind, and make you feel happy.

7. It’s Like A Little “Know Yourself Better” Tutorial
Put your M-bate session to good use to get acquainted with each layer, turn, and crevice of your body. Irrespective of how long you’ve been pleasuring yourself, there’s no dearth of exploration to know yourself better and understand what works for you. Bring on the creativity and let your imagination fly while you explore yourself and get to know newer things about yourself.
8. Make You A Social Being
All the introverts out there. Are you reading this? The release of oxytocin and dopamine, the “feel good” neurochemicals, enhance your mood during masturbation. These are the same hormones that get stimulated when you are in love or feel bliss, or cuddle. This inevitably creates a high and enables you to feel satisfied. Not just that, oxytocin also breaks down your defences, enabling you to be more extroverted and strengthen your emotional relationship with yourself and others. So, the next time you’re surprisingly more outgoing or you feel yourself coming out of your shell, you’ll know what has done the trick. The after-effects of an m-bate sesh are expected to stay on for about an hour.
9. Strengthens Your Pelvic Floor
Masturbation to your pelvic floor is what yoga and HIIT are for your entire body. It prevents your pelvic floor from getting slug and out of order but boosts it enough to keep the juices flowing. It not only makes you feel good and keeps your lady parts down south in fully functional condition but gets you all prepared for your next romp as well.
10. Improves Your Sexual Relationship With Your Partner
Whoever said you should masturbate only when you’re single! Yes, masturbating does have its benefits when you don’t have a partner, but it offers a different set of benefits when you indulge in some me-time even when you’re all paired up. Not just for yourself, it also helps you to bond with your partner more by having an even better sex life. Sone pe suhaaga, did we just hear you say?
