“Me” Time is Essential

What other way is there to lavish yourself with intimacy and care like masturbating? Giving yourself time to get familiar with your own body can very well be considered a necessity. During this time, you are safe to see what feels good, fantasize, relax, and restore from having an incredible orgasmic experience. It’s healthy for you, and has shown to uplift mood, help you sleep, and crush everyday stress.

Boost Your Sex Drive

What many people don’t know is that masturbating can actually fuel your sex drive. Yes, that’s correct! If you feel your sex life with your partner is in a funk, you should masturbate to explore your arousal. The less time we put into our own sexual health, such as orgasms/arousal, the less we crave it. Ironic isn’t it?

Great for Alone Time or When Your Partner Isn’t Available

Whether your partner is gone on a business trip or not in the mood for sex, masturbation is a great way to meet your own needs. Masturbating takes tension away from your relationship, since your sexual gratification shouldn’t primarily depend on your partner.
