Could Frequent Self-Pleasuring Improve Overall Health?
by John Dugan OwnerLots of men wonder whether their
self-pleasuring habits are “normal” or “typical,” whether they self-stimulate
multiple times daily or practically never. And many men also wonder if their
rate of self-pleasuring might have any effect on their sensual or male organ health – or even
their general overall well-being, for that matter. A recent survey
might provide some insight in these areas – although the survey comes with a
couple of qualifications.
The
study
The
specific study is the second annual “United State(s) of Self-pleasuring”
survey, which was unveiled on September 22, 2017. The survey fielded
responses from 1200 adults in America, ages 18-74.
The
study was produced by a sensual toy manufacturer, and that’s the reason for one
qualification about the results. There may be a bias in terms of study design
or results. And there may also be a bias in terms of respondents; those who participated
may be more inclined to self-gratify than those who did not. And finally, the
information is self-reported, so there may be a bias in terms of the final
degree of accuracy.
However,
with those qualifications in mind, the study still came up with some
interesting results.
Results
Among
the results of the survey are the following:
- 42%
of all respondents self-stimulate at least once a week.
- 20%
of respondents self-pleasure 4 or more times each week.
- 57%
of those in a relationship have discussed self-pleasuring with their partner.
- 32%
have talked about self-pleasuring with a friend.
- 47%
of respondents recommend self-stimulating before a first date.
-
Those who self-gratify at least 4 times a week average about 19 minutes per
each self-pleasuring session (as opposed to 13 minutes for those who
self-gratify less frequently.)
-
Interestingly, those who self-fondle at least 4 times a week are 13% more
likely to have a gym membership, and 41% of them work out at least 4 days a
week. They also are 8% more likely to be employed.
Discussion
As
mentioned, the results may be skewed, but it’s still worth looking at some
possible reasons that explain the numbers. For example, there seems to be a
correlation in the study between frequent self-pleasuring and general physical
health (as evidenced by the stats regarding working out). One possible
explanation could be that some people who self-pleasure frequently do so
because they have a healthy sense of comfort with their sensual being that
corresponds with a healthy sense of comfort about their body in general, and
which may cause them to want to take steps to keep their body in good physical
shape.
Or it
could be a “reverse” kind of reason. For example, working out tends to increase
testosterone, which in turn tends to increase sensual drive. So it may be that
the fact that these men are working out frequently encourages them to
self-gratify frequently.
Regular
seed release (whether via self-pleasuring or partner sensual activity) has been
shown to have long term positive consequences in terms of prostate health. And
self-pleasuring is a great way to help relieve stress. Stress is a major
negative impactor on overall health. Assuming that many men self-fondle
near bedtime, this can also be a way to ensure a better night’s sleep, which
has positive health implications as well.
In
general, self-pleasuring does indeed provide one avenue to help improve general
health, as well as male organ health. For the latter, men should also daily use
a superior male organ health crème (health
professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and
safe for skin). The best options will include a range of vitamins, ideally
including A, B5, C, D and E, which will benefit from the topical application in
crème form. It’s wise to also find a crème that additionally includes
L-arginine, an amino acid which can play a big role in helping to keep manhood
blood vessels open for increased flow.
