Show Yourself a REALLY Good Time by Diana Spechler Masturbation is a pressure release, a natural sleeping pill, and a plain old-fashioned good time ( as if we need to sell you on it). Choking the chicken, ticklin the pickle, beating the meat, spanking the monkey… whatever you want to call it, masturbation is a pretty common habit these days. No one in their right mind would admit to masturbating in private, but the truth of the matter is majority of people does it. While America frowns upon masturbation others embrace their sexuality. Pleasuring yourself has become a capacious blow up in the sex industry. This buzz has even reached some people who are very enlightened on sexuality
such as Charlie Glickman, Ph.D in sexual education. Glickman stated, “ masturbation is important because it lets you take control of your satisfaction.” There are many sex educators that embrace masturbation. You have to be in a certain mindset to indulge in something such as entertaining yourself. “Seducing yourself” Amy Levine, a sex coach, claim can get you in the right mindset to masturbate.Variety is key to your sex life , so why shouldn’t extend to your self-love life. Considering the fact that 797,151 people are masturbating at this very moment can be proof that this is normal.
Celebrities also engage in the great sensation of masturbating. Even the best of people such as Fred Willard, a famous movie star was caught masturbating in a Los Angeles XXX movie theater. He pleasured himself in a public place so dont be afraid to pleasure yourself in the private of your own home. Believe it or not, masturbation is actually healthy for you. A 2003 Australian study found that men who ejaculated more than five times a week were a third less likely to develop prostate cancer. Regular sex or masturbation works out your pelvic floor muscles to prevent erectile dysfunction and incontinence. If you are feeling down just take time to pleasure yourself. Masturbation has been shown to release the biggest non-drug dose of dopamine. Self-indulging yourself is normal and practically life
saving. Im not saying people should just go around masturbating but if you want to explore your body on a new level it should be an option.
No one should be discourage to fondle themselves and express their sexuality because of what some people do not approve of. When it comes down to that perfect little me time I encourage people to try it. YOu may learn something new or enjoy it more than real sex. 4 out of 10 women enjoy masturbating rather than having sex. Personally I have yet to try it but I am not saying that I will not ever in my lifetime. MOst of society are repressed to satisfy this urge to masturbate, even though it may cross their mind they vilify those who participate in this activity. Embracing your sexuality by masturbating is not something you should be ashamed of. It is not my cup of tea at this moment if life, and that is ok. Our society has brainwashed us to believe anything they do not accept should not occur. In this situation they are wrong because masturbating has been proved to be healthy and satisfying. When you get some alone time think about what you want to do with it. Work
