The Truth About Masturbation: What Everyone Should Know

Masturbation is an important part of sexual health. There are all kinds of strange claims made about masturbation, including that it can be damaging for your wellness and wellbeing by causing blindness, acne, insanity and even unusual hair growth!

 

Masturbation is a normal process wherein both men and women sexually arouse themselves by touching their genitals. It is usually done alone but can be done with or to a partner.

 

Masturbation is entirely normal and can help people to learn about their own bodies and their own sexuality. Women can learn, through masturbation, how to reach orgasm, and men could learn how to delay their orgasm so that they last longer in bed.

 

There is no right or wrong way to masturbate. Men usually do it by holding and rubbing their penis, whilst women tend to touch their vagina and clitoris. The clitoris is a soft bump at the front of the vagina and it is very sensitive. Most women need some form of clitoral stimulation in order to have an orgasm during either masturbation or sexual intercourse.

 

Men usually ejaculate when they orgasm; ejaculation is when semen shoots out of the penis at the moment of climax. There is usually around 5ml of semen but there can be more if a man has not ejaculated for a while.

 

Masturbation is entirely safe, and does not cause insanity, blindness, acne or excessive hair growth. There is also no risk of pregnancy when you masturbate, and no risk of catching a sexually transmitted infection, either.

 

There is a small risk of infection, however, if you use sex toys to masturbate with, and if somebody who has an STI has used the toys before you. For this reason, any object that you use to masturbate should be solely used by you and not shared with anyone else, or if you must share sex toys then put a condom over them when using them.

10 Things Women Should Know About Sex

Some people think they know it all about sex. They think they’ve been around the block a few times and that nothing is new to them. For some people this is probably true, but for most, there are plenty of things that we are fooling ourselves about. This is especially true for women. For women, sex has always been a little more complicated than it is for men, this is because men have traditionally be viewed as the more highly sexed of the genders – always up for it and raring to go, while women would rather do other things. Of course, these kinds of clichés are no use to us in the modern world. So let’s take a look at the top 10 things that women need to know about sex.

1. It’s worth remembering that he doesn’t care if you’ve shaved – you don’t need to get self-conscious about it, he’s not thinking about it.


2. Your man likes the cuddling part too! It’s often thought that men only enjoy the rough aspects of sex; but it’s completely not the case. Men get a lot out of the loving, sensual side too. During sex both men and women release a lot of oxytocin, which is a hormone that promotes feelings of intimacy. That means men love to cuddle just as much as women do after sex.


3. Size does matter (sort of) but width is far more important than length. It’s not actually especially important either way, because most of the sexual stimulation that you receive comes around the entrance of the vagina and the clitoris.


4. Women masturbate a lot. Many people think that masturbation is limited only to men or that men masturbate more often than women. This isn’t necessarily true and it has been shown that women do masturbate a lot.


5. Variety is one of the most important things about sex. It’s always a good idea to try to mix things up as often as possible and not get stuck in a rut.


6. Porn can be a very useful tool. Women get just as turned on by porn as men do, so it’s worth taking the time to watch some porn with your partner. It is something that you can genuinely enjoy together.


7. Faking it is pointless. You might think it’s a good idea to fake your sexual stimulation, but this will only lead to your partner thinking they’re doing a good job of turning you on and then doing the same thing again next time. It’s a much better idea to tell them what it is that you like so they can do that for you instead.


8. Sex is better with your socks on. Having cold feet can really be a major turn off when having sex – research has shown that couples without socks on only achieved orgasm around 50% of the time in a cool room, while when they put sucks on, it was up to 80%.


9. It’s never too late to start having sex again. If you’ve found that your relationship is in a rut, it can seem like you only ever have sex a couple of times and it’s always the same thing. So instead of thinking like that, just go ahead and have sex spontaneously. It really is never too late to be spontaneous.


10. Nobody can make you orgasm like you can – so don’t expect to. Touching yourself will always be the quickest and most effective way to orgasm every time. Don’t put too much pressure on your partner.
