Physical Benefits Of Male Masturbation 

Boost Your Immune System 

It is said that masturbation can help to keep you healthy. Researchers suggest that masturbation and intercourse can regulate heart rate, blood pressure and brain chemistry. A study performed at Tabriz Medical University in 2008 claims that ejaculating can help to reduce swelling in the nose, ease congestion and improve nasal breathing. Apparently, the act of ejaculation allows for the stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system and has lasting effects.[4]

Masturbation as Exercise 

For some people, masturbation could be considered a form of exercise.  Don’t get excited, you’re not likely to drop a ton of weight masturbating, but you will burn a few calories. Truthfully, masturbation can benefit cardiovascular health.  It can be beneficial in improving the flow of blood throughout the body, thus lowering blood pressure and regulating breathing. 

Improve Prostate Health 

Masturbation is good for the prostate. Researchers agree that frequent ejaculation can reduce the risk of developing prostate cancer. This is because the prostate gland becomes filled with fluid that makes up semen. This fluid is known for housing any toxins and carcinogens that have settled in the prostate. The more this fluid is expelled, the less the chances are that cancer will develop in the prostate. Additionally, an Australian research study suggests that men between the ages of 20 and 50 who masturbated at least 5 times per week were 1/3 less likely to have prostate cancer.[5] There were several other studies, ad one study from Harvard University that came to the same conclusion: men who ejaculated 21 or more times a month had a 33% lower risk of prostate cancer compared with men who reported four to seven ejaculations a month throughout their lifetimes.[6] The theory behind this claim could be that emptying the prostate of potentially irritating or harmful substances might be the mechanism that lowers the risk of prostate health. 

Help for Insomnia 

Think of masturbating as a natural sleep aid. The endorphins released during masturbation can act as a natural sedative, relaxing the mind and body. Additionally, masturbating lowers blood pressure. The combination of increased endorphins and lower blood pressure will make you feel good all over and will make you sleepy. So theoretically, the more you masturbate, the better you’ll sleep. 

Provides Sexual Pleasure 

Masturbation is a great release of sexual tension. Masturbating allows for sexual pleasure. People who choose to abstain from a sexual relationship with another person can gain sexual pleasure through masturbation. Likewise, people who do not currently have a sexual partner, including elderly people, can gain sexual pleasure through masturbation. 

Prevents Premature Ejaculation 

Practicing the art of lasting longer during masturbation is an effective way for a man to train himself to last longer during sex and avoid premature ejaculation. If a man can build up his ability to last longer during masturbation, he should be able to make the transition to lasting longer during sexual intercourse as well. 

Donate 

Not only can masturbation be good for your health, but it can be beneficial to your bank account as well. Many couples cannot conceive a child on their own, and they may have to rely on sperm banks for obtaining donor sperm.  Many men make extra money by donating their sperm, through ejaculation. So if you’re going to masturbate anyway, why not make a few extra dollars and give the gift of a child to a couple in need. 

Masturbation cannot only feel good, but it has many health benefits. The health benefits for men are exceptional, especially when it comes to the health of your prostate. Aside from that masturbation is a great way to ease tension, relax and improve your sex life. So if you weren’t on board with masturbation before, perhaps now you’ll decide to give it a go.
