Self-gratification Myths Debunked
by John Dugan OwnerChoking
the chicken. Waxing the surfboard. Jerkin’ the gherkin. There are a million
ways to describe self-gratification and just about as many ways to do it. With
an activity so prevalent, it’s odd that there is so much bad information in
circulation. Let’s take a minute to talk about nearly every man’s favorite
pastime: self-gratification.
What
Is Self-gratification?
Self-gratification
is when a man touches, strokes, and otherwise stimulates his member for
pleasure. The hand is not the only thing a man can use for self-pleasure. Many
men use a variety of sensual aides for stimulation or things they have made
into their own pleasure devices (à la American Pie). Self-gratification can
also include more than just the member. Many men also stimulate other erogenous
zones such as the nipples, privates, perineum, and back. Usually,
self-gratification ends with the release of seed, but it doesn’t need to.
Plenty of men enjoy the journey and don’t need the release.
Self-gratification
Myth #1: A Man Is a Pervert if He Pleasures Himself
Some
cultures, societies, and religions demonize self-gratification and believe that
if a man pleasures himself, he’s a deviant. However, it’s simply not true.
Perversion is described as something that is abnormal and unacceptable. So, if
a man pleasuring himself is something that society deems as unacceptable, then
he may be perceived as a pervert. But the action of self-pleasure itself is not
grounds for calling someone a pervert and, abnormal and unacceptable is a
widely subjective designation, anyway.
Self-gratification
Myth #2: It Causes Hairy Palms
Unless
a man is a werewolf and only pleasures himself on the full moon, no,
self-gratification does not cause hairy palms. It’s believed that this
superstition hails from a book published in 1756 called the Onania. The intent
of the book is to frighten people away from self-pleasure and other practices.
Self-gratification
Myth #3: A Man Can Lose His Virginity by Pleasuring Himself
Nope.
Virginity is not a self-serve sorta thing. Virginity is more a societal ideal
than a physical act. It does not require someone of an opposing gender and for
women does not require the breaking of the hymen (which often happens well
before the act ever happens). Think of self-gratification as more ritual than
biological.
Self-gratification
Myth #4: Self-gratification Causes Health Problems
Actually,
self-gratification can help a man’s health. It is a gateway to intimate health
by helping men understand what they like and what they are comfortable with.
Self-gratification is a free way to reduce stress and create a happier headspace.
It also helps sleep quality and athletic (and sensual) performance.
Believe
it or not, studies have shown that regular self-gratification with release is
linked to a reduction in the possibility of prostate cancer. A 2016 study
showed that men who released 21 times or more each month had a 20-percent
decrease in the likelihood of prostate cancer. The only caveats to this are for
men who wax the banana when hands are dirty or infected. Also, be sure to do a
proper skin test prior to using any lubricant.
Self-gratification
Managed
Now,
although self-gratification is a healthy, normal activity, it does make sense
to take a moment and talk about proper member care because it’s a delicate
appendage, after all. First, be sure to give the member enough rest between
sessions. Just like any other muscle, it needs a little recovery time. Also, be
mindful of how tight the grip is because a too-tight death grip can cause
friction burn and make the member less sensitive in both the short and long
run.
Second,
be sure to wash that mighty member often and after every self-love sesh. Use
tepid water and a gentle cleanser like baby wash to gently and meticulously
wash the member, being sure to suds up all the privates and retract the
foreskin for a soft, squeaky clean. Also, rinse well and either air or towel
dry with soft pats as opposed to rubbing the towel across the frisky fella.
Lastly,
reward him with an indulgent, specially formulated member health creme (health
professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil,
which has been clinically proven safe and mild for skin) to nourish
and rejuvenate the member. Creams with a natural base like shea butter or
vitamin E that include other vitamins that promote manhood wellness, like A, C,
and D, are essential for providing the member with vital nutrients and moisture
for optimal member health. Look for creams that also have L-carnitine, a
science-backed protector against peripheral nerve damage. A little love now
will result in some good self-love later!
