IT PREVENTS CANCER: Yes, it indeed does. An Australian study pointed out that men who ejaculated more than five times a week decreased their risk of prostate cancer by a significant third! This is because when you ejaculate frequently, you flush out toxins from your body.

IT BETTERS YOUR IMMUNITY: When you masturbate, the hormone called cortisol goes up in your body and this, in turn, not only reduces stress but also regulates and boosts your immunity.

IT IMPROVES YOUR MOOD: When you ejaculate, feel-good neurochemicals such as dopamine and oxytocin are released in your blood. In fact, if you want to talk the no-drug way, orgasm is the best dopamine available to you! That’s something wow.

MASTURBATING CAN ALLEVIATE PAINS: Yes, it can. Be it everyday headaches or menstrual pain, masturbation helps you deal with it better. Medically talking, when women masturbate, they have uterine contractions. These soothe period cramps. The research behind this reasoning is limited but what’s its harm after all? And for sure, it is better than popping a pill.

IT HELPS YOU DEAL WITH BODY ISSUES: When you masturbate, you understand your body better than ever before. It alleviates insecurities that you may have and helps you know what works for you and what does not.
