Although it’s a normal and widespread part of human sexuality, masturbation is still a topic that’s often discussed in whispers and with secrecy. Many facets of self-pleasure remain unsaid, even if they are common. To give readers a thorough understanding of this essential aspect of the human experience, we reveal six things no one tells you about masturbation.

(1) You Cannot Possibly Overindulge in Masturbation to The Point Where You Are Unable to Enjoy Having Sex With A Real Person

Most people believe that a person can become so skilled at getting himself or herself off that no one else can match it. That’s not true because someone else touching you is always better than you touching yourself. It just is.

(2) Using Sex Toys Doesn’t Make You Bad at Doing It Yourself

You’re not the worst masturbator in the world just because you can’t stop using sex toys. To be honest, hands will never really win over sex toys. Sex toys are highly recommended, particularly at midnight when you’re exhausted and don’t feel like multitasking tricks but still want to get off quickly so you can go to sleep.

(3) Masturbation is Not Risk-free

Yes, the risk is minimal. That is the most secure method of having sex. Nobody has ever caused their pregnancy or contracted an STD from themself. Still, some risks are involved, just like with other low-risk activities like walking or chewing. Skin irritation can be a minor side effect of rough or frequent masturbation. An uncommon but horrific disorder known as a penile fracture can occur when an erect penis is bent violently, rupturing the chambers that fill with blood.

(4) There’s no “Normal” Amount of Masturbation.

Men and women alike may become fixated on the question of how much they masturbate. However, the number of times you masturbate in a given week (or day) is not the most important factor. How it fits into your life is what matters. Congratulations if you live a happy, healthy life despite engaging in frequent masturbation. However, you should think about visiting a sex therapist if you find yourself missing work or giving up on having sex with your spouse due to frequent masturbation.

(5) Masturbating Even Though You Are in A Relationship Doesn’t Make You A Cheating Skank

Individuals who are single or in a relationship both engage in masturbation. Some people assume that their partner’s masturbation indicates infidelity or that they aren’t good enough [in bed], so they become jealous when their partners do it. It is important to recognise that individuals possess varying degrees of sexual desire, all of which are perfectly normal and healthy, even though some may include masturbation.

(6) Masturbation is Packed With A Lot of Health Benefits

Masturbation has several advantages for health. Better sleep, less tension and stress, fewer headaches, more focus, higher self-esteem, a more youthful appearance, and increased fitness are a few of them. In addition, there are certain benefits unique to sexual health for women, especially those who are older. These benefits include decreased vaginal dryness and soreness during intercourse.

CONCLUSION

There are benefits and drawbacks to the complex phenomenon of masturbation in human sexuality. Reaping the benefits of a more positive and educated view of self-gratification and a more healthy attitude to sexual well-being can be achieved by understanding these aspects.
