In no way am I ashamed to say that I masturbate. It is something I’ve been doing for years and I don’t plan on stopping any time soon. Over the past few months I can admit, the frequency has definitely picked up. Honestly, it’s probably become a part of my daily routine…self care right!!! And being completely transparent…I’m not having sex right now so this is the next best thing (post for a later date).
Never understood why people were so embarrassed about masturbating. I get it, I get it…it’s frowned upon sometimes in the religious arenas, but come on it feels great. Those people that look down on masturbating are the same ones GETTING..IT..IN. Not only does it feel great, but there are so many benefits to it.
Releases any sexual tension causing some moodiness
Great stress reliever
Strengthens the pelvic and anal muscles
Improves body image
Now these are some great benefits, but let me give you some reasons I masturbate….ummmm daily:
- Helps me go to sleep
I’ll tell you when masturbation helps me the most…Sunday nights. For some reason I have the hardest time falling asleep and I just lay in the bed staring at the ceiling. While listening to a podcast I heard that this lady masturbates every night just to go to sleep. I figured, why not, if sex can put me to sleep why night a little self love. So right…slept like a baby.
- I’m not having sex
So I haven’t had sex in….it’s probably been over 6 months now. This is by choice, the relationship is rocky and I have a good bit of body image confidence to work on as well. The only thing is, I don’t want to just do it with anyone because I am so afraid that the sex will not be good. I can always count on a good night with myself…and I’m guaranteed an orgasm!!!
- Helps improve how I feel about my body
Since having my youngest son 3 years ago I’ve made it a point to avoid interacting with my body. I didn’t look at myself too long in the mirror, I touched it just to wash it, and I didn’t have many positive things to say about it. Masturbation has made me get acquainted with my body. I’ve started touching my body more (not just the clit lol) and paying attention to what it has done for me (carried 2 babies).
- I don’t have shit else to do
Sometimes I’m just bored so what better way to stay occupied then to orgasm. I could clean something, but that just doesn’t have the same appeal.
I highly encourage you to add masturbation to your self care routine. It really just makes you feel different…special. It’s like I have a little secret that no one else knows about. Maybe later we can get into how fucking hot it is to masturbate with a partner….yasssss!
What keeps you touching on your clit???
