From boosting your mood to clearing your prostate , here ’ s 10 reasons jerking it is good for your health
When the topic of masturbation comes up among men , it ’ s usually about as popular as a porcupine in a balloon factory . That ’ s because guys generally don ’ t talk about such things with one another .
But maybe we should ?
According to the wellness company TENGA , 88 % of Americans do it . Sadly , a large percentage of those surveyed lie about it . To erase the stigma from self-pleasure , the company launched an online empowerment campaign to celebrate and encourage masturbation .
It was called # DoItInMay , and it was a 30-day movement to open the conversation on sexual wellness . If you want to still join in on the action , you can sign up on their website .
Given our commitment to all things health here , we thought it might be helpful to list out 10 benefits of masturbation that might surprise you .
1 . Improves sleep
When men release , it releases a host of chemicals including oxytocin , vasopressin , and prolactin . All of which naturally help you hit the pillow , reports Science Line .
2 . Increases mood
Stroking it stimulates the release of happiness endorphins from the hippocampus , which in turn floods the body and boost your mood — just like sex .
3 . Builds stamina
Worried about going the distance ? Then maybe you should consider spanking your monkey an hour before the actual deed .
That ’ s because it may help build stamina while offering more control , which in turn , decreased the risk of premature ejaculation .
