Medical Video: Male Masturbation : 5 Things You Didn't Know
Masturbation is normal sexual activity carried out by men and women. But apart from taboo assumptions in some cultures, there are a number of things you need to know about self-fulfilling activities also known as masturbation.
1. Masturbation vs. intimate relationships, which is better?
As we know, sexual relations have a positive impact on men's health, for example on blood pressure and heart and prostate health. However, this is not the case with masturbation. Unfortunately, it is not yet known why ejaculation during masturbation and ejaculation during intercourse has a different effect.
A 2015 study stated that masturbation lowers the risk of prostate cancer. But this still needs further investigation.
2. Is masturbation harmful to health?
Masturbation is still a risky activity, even though the risk is only minimal. Masturbation that is too frequent and rough can cause skin irritation. Erect penis is at risk of being "broken" if forcibly bent.
The position of his stomach while masturbating can also give more pressure to the penis. This risks causing injury to the penis. The recommended position for more "safe" masturbation is on your back, sitting or standing.
It is best to avoid squeezing the penis shaft area while ejaculating. This risks causing damage to the nerves and blood vessels in the penis area. In addition, it can also cause the entry of semen into the bladder forcibly.
3. How often is normal?
There is no normal amount of masturbation that is said to be "normal". The thing that becomes a benchmark is your daily life. If you masturbate several times a day but your life is healthy and pleasant, the amount is not excessive. But if this affects the lives of you and your spouse, you should start reducing it slowly so as not to become "dependent".
One effect is that if you masturbate too often, you are lazy to do anything other than masturbation. Or, you actually prefer masturbation rather than having sex with your partner.
Instead of masturbating, you should fill your spare time by exercising or doing other hobbies for a healthier and happier life.
4. Does masturbation mean that your sexual life is unsatisfactory?
Not. Almost all men masturbate, both single and married, both in good and bad relationships. Most men do masturbation not only to satisfy sexual desire. Men do it too to release stress or calm themselves before going to bed.
5. What are the benefits of masturbation for men?
- Several studies have shown the influence of masturbation on the prevention of prostate cancer.
- The hormone cortisol released during ejaculation can regulate and enhance the immune system.
- Masturbation can help relieve stress. The hormone endorphins released help increase your enthusiasm and satisfaction.
In older men, the muscle tone of the penis area weakens naturally. Masturbation can also help you train your pelvic floor muscles to prevent erectile dysfunction and incontinence.
