Moderate masturbation contributes to sexual health
① Prolonged erection time: Masturbating one hour before sexual intercourse helps to better control the rhythm and prolong sexual activity. Through masturbation training, men can learn to control ejaculation and avoid rushing through sexual encounters. If typically ejaculating in 2 minutes, try to control the rhythm and intensity to extend ejaculation time to 3 minutes. With training, most men can double their erection time.
② Improved immune system: Ejaculation can increase cortisol levels in male bodies. Masturbation stimulates the production of a small amount of cortisol, enhancing the immune system. Cortisol, also known as stress hormone, helps regulate and maintain a healthy immune system at a certain level.
③ Improved mood: Masturbation can help relieve tension and release sexual pressure to some extent. During masturbation, the body releases more dopamine and oxytocin, known as pleasure hormones, which enhances excitement, satisfaction, and activates the brain’s reward areas.
④ Prevention of prostate cancer: A study in Australia found that men who ejaculate more than 5 times a week have a 1/3 lower risk of prostate cancer. Various pathogenic toxins can accumulate in the urethra, and powerful ejaculation can flush out these harmful factors, thereby providing anti-cancer benefits.
⑤ Enhanced erectile hardness: The hardness of an erection is crucial for a pleasurable sexual life. However, as age increases, muscle strength naturally declines, which can lead to erectile dysfunction (ED) or even urinary incontinence. Regular sexual activity or masturbation can effectively exercise the pelvic muscle group, preventing ED and urinary incontinence. Research has found that ejaculating 3 to 5 times a week can enhance the hardness of the erection and maintain the angle of penile erection.
However, it’s important to remember that while masturbation is beneficial, moderation is key. If there is a noticeable feeling of fatigue after masturbation, a significant decrease in learning or work efficiency, inability to concentrate, it may be a sign of excessive masturbation.
