Is Masturbation Harmful?
I received a question from a reader earlier today. He asked:
“Hi Sunny, I was wondering if masturbation is harmful? I do it every single day, sometimes twice. A lot of times I feel tired afterward too, is this bad? Am I masturbating too much? “
No matter your gender, regular masturbation is not only normal, it’s actually good for you! Some of the many things it can do:
- Relieve stress
- Make partnered sex better
- Help you last longer in bed
- Fight erectile dysfunction
- Help you fall asleep
- Strengthen your pelvic floor muscles aiding in better orgasms and incontinence relief
- Boost your immune system
- Improve your mood
- Boost your libido
- Reduce menstrual cramps and shorten your period
- Reduce your risk of prostate cancer
So no, masturbating won’t cause you to grow hairy palms, go blind, or make a cat watch you from the ceiling. It’s perfectly natural, normal, and it feels great. Check out the video below for more on the science behind masturbation.
