Reduces Stress
This one is fairly obvious, but we thought we’d remind you either way. Along with sex, masturbation is one of the best stress relievers out there as it relaxes your whole body and releases the hormone of happiness, endorphin. By doing so, masturbation also suppresses depression and improves mental health, so it’s in a way an alternative to anti-depressants as well.
Helps with Insomnia
It is a well-known fact that men love to fall asleep right after having sex and, in a way, it’s the same with masturbation. One of the most apparent masturbation side effects is certainly sleepiness, due to the amount of effort put into self-pleasuring. That’s why, if you suffer from a bad case of insomnia, you can give this thing a shot and get the sleep of a lifetime.
Increases Lifespan
According to a number of studies, and based on everything we’ve stated so far, this harmless hobby can also increase your lifespan by improving your immune system and overall health. You just need to make sure not to overdo it as it can be a bit counterproductive. Keep it at a normal number and you might just outlive your predecesors thanks to it.
Improves Sex Life
In the past, people were advised to refrain from sex and any other sexual activities until they get married, but that obsolete way of thinking is simply wrong nowadays. With the sexual liberation came the desire to perfect this art and what better way to explore your own sexuality than through masturbation? Using various masturbation techniques could help you find your excitement triggers and improve your sex performance drastically. One could even say that sex is just a form of mutual masturbation, so you’re doing half the work already.
Excludes STDs and Pregnancy
Probably the most important benefit of masturbation is the fact that you don’t risk getting any sexually transmitted diseases or unwanted pregnancy. It is, beyond any doubt, the safest form of sexual pleasure you can get and evolve it over years with the right masturbation tips. There is no performance anxiety or constant thinking, just stressless indulgence in one’s own body.
Donate Sperm
Finally, we should mention one more benefit that you may have overlooked – sperm donations. If you’re a giving person, you can donate countless amounts of sperm to those special banks (not just any old bank will do) and even get paid for it. Some people even make a fine living out of it (no they don’t, but it’s still an additional income for doing something you would do anyway for free).
