Masturbation

What is Masturbation?

Masturbation is the act of stimulating one’s own genitals for arousal or sexual relief. It’s common among both men and women and tends to involve a happy, orgasmic ending. Despite not being as discussed as other forms of sex, masturbation is possibly the most common sex act in the world…

Masturbation statistics show that a whopping 95% of men and 89% of women masturbate regularly. Masturbation can be performed by hand, with and without lube, and sometimes with the assistance of sex toys such as a vibrator.

While masturbation is, first and foremost, a solo activity, couples can have fun by masturbating each other. Mutual masturbation is incredibly common in sexual foreplay.

The Benefits of Masturbating

Do you feel stressed, angry, or frustrated? Maybe all you need is to rub one off! Here are a few of the many outstanding benefits of masturbating:

• Masturbation triggers the release of “happy hormones” that reduce stress and enhance relaxation;
• Masturbation improves sleep quality;
• Masturbation has pain relief properties that can help fix headaches and deal with uncomfortable conditions such as blue balls;
• People who masturbate often tend to know their bodies a lot better, which is vital for having better sex and improving one’s self-esteem.

Masturbation & Porn

Back in the day, people used to masturbate using only their imagination. Nowadays, the accessibility of porn has made it common for people to jack off while watching their favorite NSFW videos. Needless to say, porn and masturbation are intrinsically linked.

With the advent of VR porn and AI companions, it’s expected that people will continue to use porn to masturbate. However, stimulating one’s genitals using nothing but the imagination has some advantages, including a greater focus on bodily sensations.

On the other hand, masturbating while looking at sexy videos on websites such as VRBangers allows for a greater deal of fetish exploration, increased arousal, and more powerful visual stimuli.
