If you&#8217;re brave enough to ask your grandmother, she&#8217;ll probably recall tales of the false rumors that the media, religion, and other poorly-informed individuals tried to spread about this totally harmless sexual activity.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">Luckily for us, the tides have turned, and today&#8217;s sex education culture is re-informing the public about the reality behind one of the most natural forms of personal wellness.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">Just in case you haven&#8217;t heard the good news yet, we&#8217;ve compiled a list of some of our favorite reasons to love yourself on the daily. Check it out \u2013 and then check yourself into an incredible big O!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#1 Masturbation makes you happy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">Self-love might feel like a treat for your nether regions, but all those yummy feelings are originating from \u2013 you guessed it!<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>&#8211; the brain. They don&#8217;t joke about it being your sexiest organ for nothing! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">Masturbation releases all sorts of feel-good chemicals, like serotonin, dopamine and oxytocin (the &#8216;love&#8217; or &#8216;cuddle&#8217; hormone). The benefits of these neurotransmitters read like a laundry list of happy things. Headaches disappear and you&#8217;ll feel all sorts of warm and fuzzy feelings as you come down from the high of climax. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">Sexual self-pleasure is the all-natural cure for life&#8217;s little ailments. It&#8217;s good for you, completely free of charge, and still easier than keeping to your daily workout routine!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/static.lewandmassager.com\/pleasure-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/masturbation-benefits-02.png\" alt=\"During masturbation, a lot of happy chemicals are released from your brain.\" class=\"wp-image-608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.lewandmassager.com\/pleasure-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/masturbation-benefits-02.png 1200w, https:\/\/static.lewandmassager.com\/pleasure-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/masturbation-benefits-02-314x183.png 314w, https:\/\/static.lewandmassager.com\/pleasure-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/masturbation-benefits-02-768x448.png 768w, https:\/\/static.lewandmassager.com\/pleasure-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/masturbation-benefits-02-1024x597.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#2: Masturbation relieves stress and helps you relax<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Partnered sex is romantic, but it can also be stressful in ways that&nbsp;solo&nbsp;play is not. When you&#8217;re by yourself, you won&#8217;t have to worry about&nbsp;whether you&#8217;re meeting expectations or if you and your partner have a matching libido. There&#8217;s just you, pleasure and lots of self-love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having trouble sleeping? You&#8217;ve got a remedy. Just as working out regularly encourage a more restful sleep, having sex with or without a partner is a physical exercise that induces the release of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Endorphins\">endorphins<\/a> &#8211; a well-known&nbsp;hormone that helps you relax. If you&#8217;re having a toss-and-turn kind of night, consider turning to the Big O&nbsp;&#8211; you&#8217;ll be snoring before you start counting sheep!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#3&nbsp;Masturbation teaches you about yourself and allows you to share that knowledge<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">Remember how you learned the subtle art of bike riding without training wheels? You probably took a few tumbles, but you&#8217;d never be on two wheels without just getting in the saddle and going for it! Self-pleasure is no different \u2013 you&#8217;ve got to stumble through those awkward finger motions to find what makes you melt into orgasm.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">If you&#8217;re new to masturbation, it can feel a bit strange at first, but don&#8217;t give up. Your mind can easily become clouded with false information you might have heard as a kid, but we promise, self-induced climaxes won&#8217;t ruin you for partner sex or make you a loser (quite the opposite, in fact!). Keep trying different techniques \u2013 from tapping to rubbing to swirling \u2013 until your eyes roll back in your head. Don&#8217;t worry, you&#8217;ll know when you&#8217;ve found your signature move!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">In addition to making you completely self-reliant in the pleasure department, you can teach all these new sexy tricks to your partner. Lovers aren&#8217;t mindreaders, and you know what&#8217;s rarer than growing hair on your palms from masturbating (we kid, we kid!)? Finding a partner who knows exactly how to make you moan from day one<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">It takes good communication and a few bedroom lessons to get your partner into the groove of what gets you off. So how do you figure out what&#8217;s on tonight&#8217;s lesson plan? Yep, you&#8217;re right again \u2013 lots of self-taught masturbation sessions.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/static.lewandmassager.com\/pleasure-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/masturbation-benefits-03.png\" alt=\"Masturbation is an act of self-love.\" class=\"wp-image-609\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.lewandmassager.com\/pleasure-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/masturbation-benefits-03.png 1200w, https:\/\/static.lewandmassager.com\/pleasure-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/masturbation-benefits-03-314x183.png 314w, https:\/\/static.lewandmassager.com\/pleasure-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/masturbation-benefits-03-768x448.png 768w, https:\/\/static.lewandmassager.com\/pleasure-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/masturbation-benefits-03-1024x597.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#4 It&#8217;s never too late to fall in love with yourself<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">No matter how old you are, or how many partners you&#8217;ve had, or wherever you&#8217;re going in life \u2013 masturbation is one of the few solo activities that you can never outgrow. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">If you&#8217;re 80 and still struggling to orgasm, who says you can&#8217;t hop online, place an order for a <a title=\"Le Wand Massager\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lewandmassager.com\/le-wand-rechargeable-vibrating-massager.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Le Wand Vibrator<\/a>, and come like a Goddess?
