Discussing about the sexual health has been one of the biggest challenges among the teenagers. However, gradually, the global culture has started evolving to certain heights where there is a room to share certain issues related to the intimate things of life.

One of the things that people hate to ask or share is about sexual health because of which most will fall in deeper trouble. Like for instance masturbation and the general question like “Should we be doing it more?”

Why should you make masturbation a part of your wellness routine?

Releasing the right hormones

According to the 2009 University of Michigan study, orgasms cause the body to release dopamine, endorphins and oxytocin, the “love and bonding” hormone. The boost of these hormones in turn lowers cortisol, a main stress hormone that effects our daily life. Elevated cortisol levels lead to inflammation, stress-eating, insomnia, and weight loss resistance. This means your pleasure-powered work outs will more easily lead to a toned body.

It reduces your junk-food cravings

Higher levels of oxytocin makes us feel happier, which keeps those emotionally-triggered food cravings for sugars, cheese, and other “comfort foods” at bay.

There is less DNA damage and motility problems with fresh sperm.

Makes you positive

Women who masturbate regularly are more likely to feel positively about their body. When you know what you need to bring yourself pleasure and orgasm, you strengthen your emotional intelligence and connection to your body.

Orgasms increase blood flow to both your brain and reproductive organs, which helps soothe menstrual cramps and headaches.
