What Are the Health Benefits of Masturbation?

From times immemorial masturbation has been always considered a taboo and is seen as a tool used by people who cannot get themselves a partner. In fact there are numerous men strutting around in pride that they never masturbate even if they have not had sex. Masturbation is a means of letting go pent up frustrations and is beneficial to both men and women alike.

Quite often two persons who may be otherwise perfectly matched in interests and lifestyle preferences may prove to have very different views on sex. It is not uncommon for one of the partners to crave for and expect a lot of sex, while the other likes sex, but is not overly concerned with this activity. In such cases, masturbation may be used to satisfy the bigger need without making the less eager partner uncomfortable. Thus masturbation can be useful to balance the relationship and bring together couples who are open-minded to acknowledge and respect their differences.

Masturbation is good at relieving depression by allowing an individual to attain a sense of self-worth through a successful attempt. Nothing elevates mood and spirits than a good orgasm. Sex also drives away negative thoughts even if it for a little while and masturbation is a healthy practice to keep the mind at ease and in good spirits.

Masturbation is a very good means of exploring one's sexuality and and understand the body's sexual responses. It is ideal for those who are just getting initiated into adulthood before the more intimate relationships arrive in life. Masturbation never made a woman pregnant or caused deadly sexually transmitted diseases.

Finally there have been some studies that have shown the positive benefits of masturbation in preventing prostate cancer. The prostate gland concentrates zinc, and other nutrients to over 600 times that in blood to contribute its share to the semen. While doing this it also concentrates the carcinogens to dangerous levels in the prostate. Thus ejaculation either by way of masturbation or through sex results in expulsion of these carcinogens from the prostate. Men who masturbate now need not feel 'bad' about it and on the contrary they are doing themselves a favor so that their prostates do not bother them at a later stage in life.

Does Masturbation Increase Penis Size?

It is a known fact that any adult man masturbates. Some people are embarrassed about it while others are not. It is a basic thing that we have to do and it is a completely natural process. But what a lot of people do not know is that regular masturbation over time can increase your penis size without you even knowing about it.

This is how it could be possible. Most men do some sort of pulling or stretching of the penis in order to create an erection or stimulate an erection. These pulling techniques somewhat resemble what penis exercises advice you to do.

A good exercise program will ask you to jelq the penis. In other words, you make an OK sign with your thumb and forefinger and firmly grasp the penis and slowly milk it multiple times. However, masturbation and enlargement exercises are slightly different.

Masturbation is something that you do for pleasure while penile exercises are something that you consciously do to get a bigger penis size. The other difference is that masturbation is done on an erect penis while penile exercising is done on a semi erect penis. Though they are different, it is fair to say that everyone does a little bit of penis exercising when they do their masturbating.

Some men might have been surprised to notice that their penis might have marginally improved in size after they had been masturbating regularly. This is definitely possible. Some men will masturbate more and more in an effort to get more gains.

However, this is usually where they go wrong. Masturbation is not designed to increase penis size. You will get  a marginal size increase by masturbating regularly but the gains will saturate pretty quickly. The reason is because there is not enough stimulation during masturbation as the process usually ends pretty quickly. Most men will try to ejaculate quickly and get it over with due to privacy concerns. A lot of men also do it quickly to get a source of quick stress relief.

If one is encouraged about the gains that they got with just masturbating and want to really take penis enlargement to the next level, all they have to do is get into some penis enlargement exercises. You have to set aside about 10 minutes every day to dedicate to enlargement exercises.

They are also a little different from masturbation because they will need a warm up with a hot shower or a warm towel wrap. It is also very important not to do penis exercises on a fully erect penis as mentioned earlier. Thus, it might be difficult to combine the two processes although there is no harm in masturbating after one finishes off their penis exercises.
