Self-Love May Alleviate Everything From Menstrual Cramps To The Common Cold Ma$turbation remains taboo despite the hyper$exual climate we live in. Whether you whack your weed or polish the pearl, you’ve probably been told it’s unhealthy and can even cause blindness and infertility. But can some self-love actually be good for your health? In AsapSCIENCE’s video, “Is Ma$turbation Good For You?” hosts Mitchell Moffit and Gregory Brown, alongside Rachel Salt, explain there are many benefits to reap from feeling ourselves, from reducing menstrual cramps to reducing cancer. Most men and women ma$turbate in their lives, with 95 percent of men and around 72 percent of women admitting it, according to AsapSCIENCE. Contrary to popular belief, ma$turbation is not for single people. Seventy percent of men and 40 percent of women in relationships reported ma$turbating within the four weeks leading up to a recent survey. Self-love can boost the health of men and women, even lending a helping hand in the bedroom. For example, endorphins released during an orgasm can decrease our perception of pain, especially reducing menstrual cramping for women. With the help of the hormone prolactin, which is linked to sleep, women are more likely to feel exhausted and get a good night’s sleep. Meanwhile, men can also benefit from ma$turbating by reducing the occurrence of a cold and the risk of prostate cancer. A study found components of the immune system are activated during ma$turbation, increasing the number of white blood cells in the bloodstream. Male solo sessions might also help reduce prostate cancer due to high ejaculation frequency. Researchers hypothesize that increased ejaculation means potential carcinogenic secretions in the prostate excreted more regularly, decreasing their negative impact on the body. Ma$turbation can do more than boost your health, it can also give you a helping hand in the bedroom. Stroking the penis or clitoris can activate the bulbocavernosis reflex, resulting in pelvic muscles contracting. This is basically a workout for your $ex muscles. Ma$turbation can help maintain nitric oxide levels (known to diminish with age) in your blood throughout your life.
