That\u2019s 21% more than women. But there\u2019s a good reason for this \u2013 several, in fact. So get out your tissues, we\u2019ll explain why.<\/p>\n<h2>Why men masturbate: benefits, pleasure and explanations<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Masturbation, the first step in sexuality<\/strong><br \/>\nBefore any sexual act that includes penetration, men discover sex through masturbation. Solitary pleasure is the first encounter with the body and how it works. At first, as a child, the penis is simply a pleasant, amusing object that gives good sensations. But nothing transcendent. Then, as he grows up, sexuality and desire develop, and the little boy becomes an adolescent, approaching masturbation from a new angle \u2013 that of pleasure. And that\u2019s when onanism sessions take on a whole new dimension. It\u2019s part of human development and a sign of good health. Even if Mum moans every time she has to wash the sheets or pick up dirty tissues. It\u2019s by discovering himself that he\u2019ll have balanced, healthy relationships with his loved ones later on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The best stress reliever<\/strong><br \/>\nWhy stuff yourself with drugs when there\u2019s a \u00ab\u00a0home-made\u00a0\u00bb solution to stress? Masturbation is better than an anti-stress medication, an anti-depressant or any other substitute (alcohol, drugs, etc.). What\u2019s more, you have the object at hand, at all times, and can dispose of it as you see fit. Thanks to your little solitary pleasure, you release endorphins that will relax you in an instant. It\u2019s a proven fact. And here\u2019s a little tip: it works for women too. But don\u2019t overdo it, because doing it several times a day is a little alarming. Excessive and compulsive recourse to it may indicate hyper-nervousness or an anxious temperament. In this case, jerking off may be a symptom of unhappiness that shouldn\u2019t be underestimated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is masturbation a sign of frustration?<\/strong><br \/>\nIf recent figures are to be believed, 63% of men find that the frequency of their sexual relations is not sufficient. It would seem, then, that masturbating is a palliative to your frustration. You\u2019ll find your sexual satisfaction is much greater, and you\u2019ll be able to put female rejection into perspective. And that\u2019s how you can avoid the occasional spat when you\u2019re in a relationship. A good plan.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A desire, a pleasure<\/strong><br \/>\nMen can also masturbate just for the pleasure of it, without it being a sign of anything. Just to enjoy it because it feels good. We could even go so far as to speak of a parallel sexuality, in addition to that of the couple or booty calls. Here, there\u2019s no pressure, no performance goals, just pleasure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is there a health risk?<\/strong><br \/>\nThere are many myths and legends about the dangers of masturbation, such as deafness, deformities, impotence, etc. Blah, blah, blah. It\u2019s just there to make you feel guilty, so forget it. You could even say it\u2019s the opposite, since it seems that masturbation could protect against prostate cancer. So even if it\u2019s not proven with certainty, it\u2019s still more reliable than the potential \u00ab\u00a0dangers\u00a0\u00bb. So how? Wanking would limit the accumulation of seminal fluid and therefore of certain components of this fluid that make up sperm (potassium, zinc, fructose, citric acid and, for smokers, 3-methylcholanthrene). It\u2019s these components that could have carcinogenic properties if stagnated in the prostate ducts. So after that, as we said, if there is a danger, it would come more from excessive behavior than masturbation itself. Now you\u2019ve got all the info\u2026 in your hands!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to the latest survey, 95% of men masturbate. That\u2019s 21% more than women.
