You don’t need a boyfriend in order to experience the pleasure of an orgasm – your two hands are just as skilled as any man is. Besides, when you’re on your own, you don’t have to worry about returning the favor to make your partner peak. That’s only one of the dozens of physical and mental benefits of satisfying yourself. Here are even more reasons to set aside some time to hop into bed early tonight (or this afternoon, if you can’t wait):
- It improves your mood. It might sound depressing to resort to touching yourself, because you have no one else to help you out, but taking care of yourself can actually help prevent depression. After all, peaking gives your body a natural high. There’s no better feeling.
- It improves your life. Even if you’re in a relationship, it’s important to find the time to satisfy yourself. The better you know your body, the easier it’ll be for you to experience ecstasy. That means that you’ll be able to tell your guy exactly what you like, saving both of you a lot of time and stress.
- It relieves cramps. When you’re on your period, you probably won’t want to make love with your partner because it could get messy. However, peaking can help relieve cramps, which is why you should at least try it during that time of the month. If you’re worried about getting your hands dirty, do the deed in the shower.
- It helps you sleep. If counting sheep isn’t helping you fall asleep, you can resort to touching yourself. After you peak, chemicals associated with relaxation are released, which is what makes it easier for us to fall into a deep slumber.
- It releases frustration and tension. If you’ve been having trouble concentrating in class because there’s a hot guy sitting next to you, you should take care of yourself before school. That way, your body will feel fulfilled and you can actually pay attention to what your professor is writing on the board.
- It reduces stress and headaches. When you’re feeling overwhelmed with life, the quickest way to calm yourself down is by taking care of yourself. It’ll bring your confidence up and your anxiety down. Plus, experiencing ecstasy increases the blood flow to your brain, which can help relieve headaches.
- It reduces your chance of heart disease. Instead of exercising for 20 minutes a day to keep yourself fit, you can satisfy yourself for just as long. It won’t make you lose any weight, but it will be good for your heart. In fact, it’ll make you less susceptible to type-2 diabetes as well as heart disease because it increases your blood flow.
- It controls your appetite. Some people claim that pizza is better than making love. However, after you peak from either love-making or self-satisfaction, you’re less likely to want to eat. It’s all because a substance called CCK is released, which helps you control your appetite.
- It gets rid of UTIs faster. Urinary tract infections are never fun. Even though it might hurt to touch yourself when you’re suffering from a UTI, it can actually get rid of the infection faster. When you peak, it’ll help push that harmful bacteria out of your system.
- It increases your self-esteem. Women are too harsh on themselves. That’s why you should spend as much time with your body as you can, in order to learn to love it. The more you know about the way your body works, the more confident you’ll feel walking around with it.
