Masturbation vs. Sex

Jan 24, 2019

Masturbation is a common, normal, and healthy activity. It is a natural and safe way to explore your body, to feel pleasure, but especially to eliminate sexual tension. Despite myths, there are no risks to worry about, but excessive masturbation can lead to addiction and neglect of social life.

Suppose you are in a long-term relationship and find that your partner is accustomed to masturbating. How would you react? According to research, some people feel uncomfortable. When someone who is already in a relationship continues to masturbate, he is supposed to have not enough sex or was not satisfied with his partner and chooses to satisfy himself. But sometimes, masturbation can serve as a substitute for people who do not have sex at all. On the other hand, there is another category of people who do not feel disturbed by the fact that the partner is satisfied alone from time to time.

Again, studies show that masturbation can be a good sign for an active sexual life and relationship with a partner.

So how are things? Is masturbation a substitute for lack of sex or a sign of an active sexual life? Or a little of both? Researchers examined data from a survey of over 15,000 American adults aged between 18 and 60. Some respondents were asked if they had masturbated in the last two weeks, but also how much they did during this time and whether they were satisfied. Surprisingly, it seems that both those who masturbated and those who did not have the same amount of sex. We have to mention that it has been discovered that men masturbate more than women, and unfortunate people more than happy ones. But while happy men and unhappy women are equally masturbating, unhappy men are masturbating more than any other category. Many people experience much greater sexual satisfaction when masturbating, more than when they have sex with their partner. The reasons are many, and one of them is that there is no tension. During masturbation, nobody worries about how she looks or is good in bed and whether or not she succeeds in meeting her partner. It's also easier to orgasm, and you do not have to worry about the needs of your partner, just yours.

Masturbation: negative effects

  • The sense of guilt. We can not speak of risk masturbation, although many people may feel guilty about this aspect, and that is because of cultural, spiritual or religious beliefs. Masturbation is not a wrong thing, or even immoral, even if you hear it being said to be "dirty" and "shameful." If you feel guilty of masturbation, you can call a specialist to discuss this problem, tell her how you feel and help you overcome this situation.
  • Dependence on masturbation. Some people may develop an addiction when it comes to masturbation. If you spend too much time doing this activity, you can spoil your relationship with your loved ones, because they do not give them the attention they need. If you are worried about this and think you have developed an addiction, talk to a specialist to help you quit masturbation. Why not, you can replace this concern with other activities that keep you busy.
  • Sexual sensitivity. For women who suffer from sexual dysfunction, masturbation can help increase sexual desire and sensitivity. In 2009, two studies showed that vibrators used by both women and men have led to an increase in sexual desire and excitement. According to the studies, masturbation women were easier to lubricate, while males enjoyed a better erectile function.

Masturbation: Benefits

Masturbation is a healthy sexual activity, and that's because it has many benefits, both physically and mentally. There are many studies that talk about these benefits, including:

  • eliminating stress;
  • a good night's sleep;
  • better mood;
  • relaxation;
  • pleasure;
  • removal of cramps;
  • eliminating sexual tension;
  • sex is getting better;
  • you better understand your body.

Many couples choose to masturbate to explore different pleasures, but also to avoid unwanted pregnancies or sexually transmitted diseases.

Masturbation and prostate cancer

There is research suggesting that regular ejaculation decreases the risk of prostate cancer, but doctors still do not know exactly why. For example, following a study in 2016, it was found that the risk of prostate cancer decreased by up to 20% among men who had ejaculated at least 21 times a month. Another study in 2003 shows a similar link between frequent ejaculation and low risk of prostate cancer.

Masturbation during pregnancy

During pregnancy hormonal changes occur, and some women may feel a greater desire to have sex. Masturbation is a safe way to help eliminate sexual tension during pregnancy, and also you can prevent symptoms that occur during pregnancy, such as back pain, cramps or contractions.
