Is Masturbation Healthy? Understanding The Benefits of Self

Description

Clinical Editors: Megan Dodson, PA-C and Navya Mysore, MDWhen it comes to conversations about sex in the context of healthcare, people often think of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), sexual dysfunction, or maybe even sexual assault care. And while all these topics are critical in the scope of overall wellness, one subject that’s often overlooked in discussions of sexual health is pleasure. The feel-good aspect isn’t just fun; it can be a fundamental part of the sexual experience. And for many people, masturbation (i.e. stimulation of the genitals) can be a critical tool for safe self-exploration, confidence building, and overall improved well-being.“There are a myriad of both physical and mental health benefits that come from masturbating,” says One Medical provider Christine Boyer, PA-C, AAHIVS. “Research has shown that masturbation can reduce stress, help with sleep, improve self-esteem and body image, relieve menstrual cramps and muscle tension, and promote prostate health.” Boyer also adds that masturbation has been shown to strengthen the muscles of the pelvic and anal areas, which can prevent or improve sexual dysfunction.
