10 f****** good reasons why every woman should masturbate … regularly

You're a well-educated, respectable woman. Well-educated, respectable women do not masturbate, do they? So you've been led to believe. Yet masturbation, apart from good, has some benefits too great to overlook.

masturbationSelf-stimulation is a great way to relax emotionally and physically, so perhaps it's time the taboo subject of women and masturbation is broken. Henry Miller, an American writer, said: “Whenever a taboo is broken, something good happens, something vitalising. Taboos are only hangovers; the product of diseased minds of fearsome people who hadn't the courage to live and who, under the guise of morality and religion, have imposed these things upon us.” 

Whether it is sociocultural conditioning or, perhaps, that women are naturally not as predisposed towards masturbation as men are (7% of women compared to 23% of men between the ages of 25 and 29 masturbate 2-3 times a week), ladies should reconsider: masturbation is a normal, enjoyable and healthy experience!

Here are 10 reasons why every woman should masturbate regularly:

1. It makes you happy

Orgasms release "happy hormones", namely: dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin and endorphins; the brain chemicals we experience as happiness. This is the only sexual chemistry you'll ever need to improve your mood and enjoy a natural high.

2. You feel your body

You live inside your body until the moment you die, so you'd better get used to it, be comfortable with it and, better still, be happy with it. Exploring and becoming familiar with your body is an important way of connecting with it, and that includes discovering how it responds to various stimuli and how they makes you feel. 

3. It eases pain

Endorphins are naturally released by the body in response to pain and stress and give you a feeling of wellness, so having an orgasm can help relieve pain. The good news is it should help also with those pesky menstrual cramps, so while you may be holding back on having sex with your partner, there's no reason not to masturbate while on your period.

4. It relieves stress

Same reason why masturbation helps relieve pain: endorphins will help beat the stress and make you feel good - sounds like an awesome way to unwind at the end of the day.

5. It helps you sleep

Orgasms physically and emotionally relieve tension and relax the body and mind to allow you to fall asleep feeling content and satisfied.

6. It releases sexual tension

In Malta there is even an expression used with reference to a tense or frustrated woman, suggesting she would relax if she got a "good one." Masturbating is a great way to release sexual tension and satisfy your libido.

7. It keeps your body sexual

Sex and arousal starts in the brain: the more sex you have, the more sex you want because you think about sex more. If you haven't had a sexual encounter for a long time, instead of forgetting about it masturbating keeps you in the loop as well as keeping a healthy blood flow to the organs nourishing the tissues and keeping them healthy.

8. It keeps you coming back for more

Since the more sex you have, the more sex you'll want to have, it follows that the more sexual you feel by yourself, the more sexual you'll want to be with your partner. Being self-sexual stimulates your libido keeping it alive and well.

9. It improves your sex life

Knowing what makes you feel good in your body can make you a more confident lover, including letting your lover know where to touch you and how to give you pleasure.

10. It feels amazing and there are no downsides

Whether it is cake, alcohol or all-night parties, the fun things in life usually carry a price tag. The good thing about masturbation is that nothing bad can happen: you can’t catch anything, you can’t get pregnant, you’re not going to get sick. It’s the best thing available as a feel-good vice without any negative repercussions!
