The effect of masturbation is almost like that of
normal sex. It leads to very strong orgasms if
done right. Sometimes, it can even be more
intense and enjoyable because you don’t have to
think about what the partner feels and there is
also no shame.
Masturbation is the self-stimulation of the sex organs
and other erogenous body parts for the purpose of
pleasure, usually leading to or targeting orgasm.
Simply put, it is having solo sex by touching yourself.
Many people masturbate, and it has been described
as the only form of sex with zero risk of sexually
transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancy.
It is believed that masturbation has no identifiable
physical, psychological, or emotional harmful –
unless it becomes an addiction.
For many people, it starts as private self-exploration
before real sexual activity.
It can also be healthy way to express and explore
one's sexuality and to release sexual tension without
necessarily having intercourse, thereby escaping the
risks.
. Is Masturbation safe? Yes, it has been said to be
the safest form of sex because it is not possible to
get an STD or get pregnant by touching yourself.
Unlike in other sex, you cannot be cheated or
abused since it you and you alone.
. Is Masturbation evil? No, there are differing
opinions about the act, especially based on religion
and morality. But health experts have described it
as normal and it is a personal choice anyone can
make. Its evil status is only so defined by some
religious labelings.
. How common is Masturbation? It is very
common among youths and adults. It has been
stated that 95% of all people, male and female
masturbate with a degree of frequency. Sex wise,
some surveys state that about 90% of men and 65%
of women do it.
. Do girls Masturbate? Members of both sexes
masturbate. Surveys have shown that more men/
boys masturbate but this could be due to the fact
that women hardly talk about masturbating. One
survey says about 59% of women age 18 and
younger have masturbated.
. Are there any risks in masturbating? Though
there is no direct risk of masturbation, doing it too
frequently can lead to erectile dysfunction, pain in
the penis and premature ejaculation.
. How Do You Masturbate? There is no one way to
masturbate. Basically, you touch yourself in places
that give you pleasure – with or without a sex toy –
until you reach a peak of sexual pleasure.
. Is masturbation sexually rewarding? The effect
of masturbation is almost like that of normal sex. It
leads to very strong orgasms if done right.
Sometimes, it can even be more intense and
enjoyable because you don’t have to think about
what the partner feels and there is also no shame.
The privacy of it sometimes gives and added
excitement.
. Is Masturbation a kind of Sex? Yes, because you
get the same reward as sex. Once you get sexual
pleasure from an act, then it is sex. So
masturbation is sex
. Can one masturbate and still be a virgin? Unless
a sex toy, like a dildo or vibrator, is inserted into a
vagina, it can be safely assumed that the hymen is
still in place, meaning the person is still a virgin.
But people have differing definition of virginity. So
it depends on the person in question.
Sex experts have often said masturbation is natural,
normal, and healthy, a way of self-exploration and
sexual expression with little or no associated risks.
However, moderation is needed because excessive
masturbation has been associated to problems like
premature ejaculation.
