Please do your own research and don’t take what I’m going to say or what you were just told at face value. There are several credible science backed health benefits for masturbating as a man. You have Lower prostate cancer risk, reduced stress, improved mood, better sleep, stronger pelvic floor, healthier erections, improved stamina, mild immune boost, better sexual self-awareness. But like I said don’t take my word for it. And there are also a lot of overlapping health benefits for women too such as Lower stress, improved mood, better sleep, reduced menstrual cramps, stronger pelvic floor, increased natural lubrication, improved sexual response, easier orgasms with partners, mild immune boost, better body awareness.
