Did you know that May is National Masturbation Month? Well, before you go putting your hands down your pants to honor the month, we need to discuss a few things. Well, actually, those of you rushing to rub one out probably don’t need to read this. But for those of you who have some concerns about masturbating, check this out.
You see, we all know that masturbation doesn’t lead to blindness or hairy palms. But there are some more “realistic” myths about the act of self-pleasuring that many people do still believe. So, let me go ahead and debunk those for you so you too can go and properly celebrate May!
MASTURBATION CAUSES ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION
Let us get this one out of the way right off the top. Yes, erectile dysfunction happens (to more men than you might think), but guys, you should never worry that it will happen to you because of masturbation!
There are various psychological and physical causes for ED, but Dr. Vanessa Cullins of Planned Parenthood confirms that “…masturbation isn’t one of these causes. It doesn’t matter when you start or how often you masturbate — it won’t cause erectile dysfunction.” YAY!
YOU CAN MASTURBATE TOO MUCH
Okay, let me start this one off by saying that if you masturbate so much that it begins to interfere with your job and your responsibilities than yes, maybe you are masturbating too much. But for the rest of us… No, you can’t masturbate too much! Dr. Cullins says that “It’s perfectly healthy to masturbate regularly — even more than once a day.”
Also, if you are a guy and were worried that too much spanking the monkey would use you up sexually, don’t worry. This isn’t like a video game where you have a certain amount of “lives” before the game ends. You aren’t born with a specific number of orgasms. So, jerk off all you want, there will always be another orgasm available. And in normal healthy men your testicles are always making sperm so you won’t ever run out of those little guys either.
WOMEN CAN GET ADDICTED TO VIBRATORS
Hey, ladies. So, you love your vibrator right? But, you are worried that if you use it all the time you are going to become addicted to it, right? Well, don’t worry, that isn’t going to happen.
Yes, some women love their vibes and some even need a vibrator to orgasm. But if that’s the case then use a vibrator to orgasm. There is nothing wrong with that. If you prefer sex with a vibrator then why not use it? Guys are good at doing what they need to get off, so why shouldn’t women? But understand that it is a preference, not an “addiction.”
Also, using vibrators doesn’t ruin you for sex with men. In fact, many people say that it can improve sex with men because it lets women experience a full orgasmic sensation and learn better how their body works and responds sexually.
ONLY SINGLE PEOPLE MASTURBATE
So, I know all of you men and women in relationships reading this are laughing out loud right now at how ridiculous that statement sounds. But, some people still believe that people in relationships don’t masturbate because they have someone to fuck. Well, this is definitely untrue!
In fact, I have read some studies that suggest that people who have regular sex partners masturbate more often than those without regular sex partners. So, take that single people!
EVERYONE MASTURBATES AND THOSE WHO DON’T ARE LYING
Okay, so maybe not everyone self-pleasures, but it might be more than you think. Check out these numbers:
