Reasons For Women To Masturbate More Often
For the longest time, masturbation was considered an evil that corrupted the minds of people, especially young women, driving them down the passage of hell. A taboo practice drenched in shame and guilt, self-pleasure was once(for some of us, it still is) a dirty crime that none of us wanted to associate ourselves with!
However, even the lucky ones who happened to stumble upon the Pandora’s box weren’t too sure of exploring the realm of pleasure. Every time we touched ourselves, the guilt that took over us was insane, making us question our values and even the quality of our character. The worst part was we didn’t even know why it made us feel the way it did right after a mind-blowing orgasm! With time, masturbation naturally ended up being a practice that was supposed to be hidden in the privacy of our washrooms or under the safety of our blankets where we often had to stifle our moans in the comfort of the darkness.
Yes, we have all been there, and this journey of self-pleasure has been a tough one for most of us. Lack of sex education (sometimes zero), along with the additional guilt of committing a sin as labeled by religious prophecies and the fear of getting caught in the action(due to absolutely no privacy in Indian households) has driven us far away from exploring our own precious bodies and the wonderful orgasms it has got to offer and before the Internet took over, we were literally fumbling in the dark!
Years and years later, as we stand in 2023, our struggle for the freedom to explore ourselves has finally borne fruit. With the increasing number of discussions around masturbation and the importance of pleasure in our lives, the internet has become the torchbearer for many people who otherwise would have still been unsure of their choices. Today, we have information at our fingertips, yet there are bigger milestones to achieve in loving ourselves better and making self-pleasure a normality.
This article is dedicated to be another step forward in the direction because you all need to know why masturbation is good for you. And if you are someone who is surprised by the above statement, this is something you should definitely read!
Benefits of Masturbation
Forget the embarrassment of wanting to touch yourself and jump right into the action because you’ve got enough reasons below! So why wait for more?
Helps to Relax
When you are involved in solo pleasure, you are sure to forget everything else in the world including that to-do list that’s bothering you! Pleasuring yourself helps to get out of your head and be in the moment with your body’s reaction to pleasure. And this, of course, will calm you down and if you have an orgasm, the better because it releases oxytocin, which in turn reduces cortisol levels, leading to reduced stress. What more do you need?
Strengthens the Pelvic Floor
The pelvic floor muscles support the vagina, and other internal organs in a female and if you’re looking for a way to make them stronger, then try your hand at masturbation because orgasms result in muscle contractions which in turn becomes a decent workout for your pelvic floor.
Reduces Period Cramps
Masturbating during periods is a proven relief for period cramps because of the feel-good hormones that are released during the process. Besides that, having orgasms also helps you end the bleeding faster, making it more in YOUR control!
Better Sleep
A tiring day calls for good sleep and if you are struggling to have it, then you should definitely get your hands in the right places and give yourself an orgasm. Well, you absolutely deserve one plus having an orgasm before bedtime is said to help you sleep faster and better.
Improved Skin
Increased levels of estrogen give you healthier-looking skin! So if you are out looking for different ways to improve the look and feel of your skin, you should definitely spend some time giving yourself more orgasms and see how it works out for you. After all, it will always be a win-win situation for everyone involved!
A Workout it is
While partnered sex can burn about 3.1 calories per minute in women, your solo session can also have workout benefits depending on the type of bumping and grinding you’re into.
Self-love
If you do not know how you like to be touched and pleased, how will you be able to communicate it with your partner for a more enjoyable couple session? Above all that, your initial relationship should always be with you and you need to know what you like. Self-pleasure is also about knowing yourself better and is one of the most intimate forms of self-love.
Yes, masturbation is good for you and there is no reason why you shouldn’t indulge in this pleasure. So ladies, take time out of your busy schedules and show yourself some love, for you need it now more than ever before! Enjoy the endless happiness that your body has for you and do not forget to take good care of your physical self because that is your only true possession in this world.
