Everyone Masturbates
Clearly not everyone masturbates all the time since I managed to wait 32 years until I finally did, but a lot of people do. Very few people admit it, though, and that’s the problem. Instead of letting this normal act of self-pleasure see the light of day, people hide it as if it’s a dirty little secret. In 1994, the U.S. Surgeon General was forced to resign because she dared to suggest masturbation as a healthy, safe alternative to penetrative sex. No wonder some of our views on the subject are so warped.
It Feels Damn Good
For people like me who hesitated, we probably wouldn’t if we knew how good it can feel. Sure, the first couple of times are awkward, but sexual pleasure still happens, especially when you find that just-right spot. Masturbate often enough, and you become an expert in your own pleasure. The quickest orgasm I ever have is the one I give myself.
Masturbation Is Good for Your Health
Really, why is this not being shouted from a mountaintop? (Or at least from the highest reaches of the Internet?) Masturbation can help you sleep better, relieve headaches, ease menstrual cramps, and ease tension and anxiety. Now that I know this, I masturbate more often because an orgasm feels good, but falling asleep and beating back anxiety feel better.
No One Knows Unless You Tell Them
While I don’t think we should feel shame about masturbation, the reality is that many people do. That shouldn’t stop you from wanking away and coming as many times as you can. No one has a clue you’re getting yourself off unless you tell them. Although, showing them like this guy did isn’t OK.
