There are a lot of misconceptions about whether or not masturbation is healthy. Some people, especially parents and religious figures, may tell you that masturbation can cause all kinds of horrible diseases or have other negative consequences, but any doctor will tell you that it is, in fact, good for you! Here is a (non-exhaustive) list of ten reasons why masturbation is a healthy thing to do for both males and females:
- It helps you relax after a stressful day.
- If you’re not in a relationship, it gives you the sexual release you need.
- Studies have shown that men who masturbate regularly are less at risk for developing prostate cancer.
- For women especially, masturbation allows you to explore and understand your body better, so you will know exactly what you like when you have sex with a partner. This benefits both partners involved.
- Masturbation is a great cure for insomnia! After an intense orgasm, try not to fall asleep!
- It helps to relieve PMS symptoms in women! Women produce a chemical called oxytocin during sexual arousal and orgasm, which works as a natural pain reliever. It can also help to cure headaches, muscle aches, and other assorted aches and pains any time of the month.
- It may help fight off depression! The endorphins released during sex or masturbation can improve your overall mood.
- It can improve the immune system and contribute to overall health! Sex and masturbation increase the flow of testosterone in the body, which helps to transport a hormone called DHEA, which is important to the immune system. The extra testosterone also strengthens bones and muscles.
- You can’t give yourself an STD!
- You can’t get yourself pregnant!
If you’re tired of flying solo, sex with a partner can offer many health benefits as well: Ten Reasons Sex is Good For You

This article is complete BS. There are zero citations or credible proof that masturbation does any of these things. DO not confuse masturbation with Sexual intercourse with another partner.
Do you really think God wants humans to be Asexual? Because that’s what you are if you masturbate.
Let’s think about it: When you masturbate, you release energy into the atmosphere that is completely wasted! That’s right. Procreation keeps life moving, yet you’ve shot your biological purpose in the foot by becoming an Asexual being.
Masturbation also is unnatural. During sex, the unpredictable stimulation plus energy from your partner increases pleasure. During masturbation, it’s boring and predictable. The “Stress relief” is nothing more than elevated dopamine levels, which can also be raised through exercise and other fun activities.
Don’t be fooled by the porn industry! Instead of masturbating, you should spend time talking to the opposite sex, finding women you like, and having sex with them!!
It’s site like this that fund the entire pornography and pharm industry causing men unnecessary problems.
If you abstain from masturbation, you will naturally seek release from either sexual intercourse or wet dreams. Use your hands as a tool. Don’t whack your tool with them!!!!
