Why Men Self-pleasure: The Top 7 Reasons
by John Dugan OwnerSomehow in society, being a man and self-gratification are
intertwined. Does anyone really know why men self-pleasure though? Is it
biological, social, personal, or a little bit of everything? Spoiler Alert:
it’s a little bit of everything! Here are seven of the most commonly cited
reasons to self-pleasure and a little backup research on why.
Reason #1: High Drive
Men with a high drive tend to self-pleasure more frequently.
Ironically, frequent self-gratification keeps that sensual pilot light burning
so the desire to self-pleasure increases. There’s no measure for too much
self-gratification so long as it’s not disrupting life or desensitizing the
male organ. Men have different drives and refractory periods so what’s a lot or
a little to one man will vary wildly from the next.
Reason #2: Stress Relief
Self-gratification releases two very important hormones dopamine
and oxytocin. Dopamine is a chemical in our brains that is linked to reward and
pleasure. Oxytocin is called the “love hormone” because it encourages feelings
of bonding, empathy, and generosity. Together, they help the body relax and
reduce stress. This is an often-heard reason to self-pleasure.
Reason #3: It Feels Different from
Intimacy
There’s a lot of reasons self-gratification feels different from
intimacy. Obviously, there’s the difference between a hand and a partner’s
body. But self-gratification also comes with the benefit of being able to
change speed, grip, or location based on how things are feeling. Solo-love can
also be a long or short episode depending on whether a man wants something more
of the fast and hard variety or the slow and teasing flavor.
Reason #4: To Enhance Partnered Intimacy
One of the number one reasons given for self-gratification is to
educate oneself on their own personal pleasure so when in a relationship, or
just an intimate situation with another person, they can not only know and show
the other person what is pleasurable to them, but also to build sensual
confidence. Having the confidence to say, “This feels good,” and knowing how to
instruct someone is one of the biggest reasons to self-pleasure.
Reason #5: Unmet Sensual Needs
Whether a man is single or coupled, sensual needs can go unmet. If
single, it’s a case of “love the one you’re with.” If in a relationship, it’s
not at all unusual for two partners to have completely different sensual drives
and needs. Sometimes self-gratification is a way to bridge the difference.
Self-gratification is also a way for a part of a couple to fantasize and give
himself sensual release thinking about something his partner might not be into.
This offers a nice substitute for this reason as well.
Reason #6: To Fall Asleep
As discussed in Reason #2, self-gratification promotes the release
of dopamine and oxytocin. In addition to all the warm fuzzies the two chemicals
provide, they also create a perfect bodily environment for sleep. Dopamine
specifically tells the body to relax into sleep. Many men say they have to
self-pleasure or be intimate at night as a way to fall into restful sleep.
Reason #7: They Saw Something that
Excited Their Imagination
There are countless anecdotal stories from men about seeing
another person on the subway, the gym, or even just as they were jogging by in
the park that, for some reason, turned them on. Self-gratification in this
sense is a kind of fantasy fulfillment. A man can satisfy his sensual urge, in
the exact way he desires it in his mind, by stroking to whatever scenario his
mind created around the person or people he saw. There’s no judgment, no
infidelity, and it’s entirely private.
Regardless of which of the reasons to self-pleasure a man cites as
his reasons, keeping the male organ in utmost health is critical in
self-gratification. Be sure to wash the member with a gentle cleanser daily, as
well as after playing around, to keep it clean and keep bacteria and infections
at bay. Then use a specially formulated male organ health creme (health
professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil,
which has been clinically proven safe and mild for skin) to keep the
member well hydrated. Be sure to choose a cream that has a natural emollient
like Shea butter or vitamin E to provide ultimate softness without chemicals or
additives. Also, search out creams with additional amino acids and vitamins
which keep the member strong, sensitive, and protected for years of fun to
come.
