Now that we have already discussed why masturbation makes men better lovers, its time to discover if it really makes a difference for women! Although many movies and TV shows have tried normalizing masturbation, such as the show Sex Education<\/em> and even the recent Bridgerton<\/em>, we are not seeing the repercussions in our society just yet. Statistically, the female population masturbates much less than the male population, displaying yet another important gender gap. In a study by Mona Chalabi<\/a>, she found only 7.9% percent of women between the ages of 25-29 masturbate 2 to 3 times a week compared to 23% of men. This can be tied to society stigmatizing female masturbation, not having well-rounded sex education in our forever prudish school systems, and being straight up uncomfortable with our bodies. How are we supposed to enjoy our bodies if we spend every day telling ourselves it isn\u2019t worthy of pleasure?!<\/p>\n

Here is how masturbation can contribute to boosting your self-esteem, improve your sexual exploits with partners, and help make you a well-rounded sexual being in the process.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Understand and Improve Your Solo Sex Life<\/h2>\n

Women\u2019s masturbation being something that is rarely talked about in modern science and society, it is easily understandable that the benefits are rarely explored. We can attest that when women masturbate, they tend to have a more loving and comfortable relationship with their bodies. It gives them a chance to get in tune with their body and explore their own sexual preferences, independent of the involvement of another person. These self-pleasure actions can help normalize sexuality and stimulate parts of the brain that fuel sexual desire and libido. In addition, masturbation is a great way to satisfy urges when a partner is not readily available or when you want to satisfy desires in a safe, non-judgmental way. When sexual desire is lacking, which can be due to many factors (family life, work, stress, negative sexual experiences, anxiety, birth control, etc.), masturbation can help women feel more sexually inclined and aroused in general. Giving yourself orgasms can make you feel good, releases dopamine and oxytocin, boost your mood, lets you feel sexier, and can noticeably improve many aspects of your life.<\/p>\n

Help Relieve Stress, Anxiety, And Even Pain<\/h2>\n

Sure we understand that masturbation can help with sexual function, but did you know it can affect an array of other functions?! Masturbation can help women relieve stress, contribute to better sleep, help with emotional and physical relaxation, similarly to working out or getting a massage. The calming and relaxing aftermath can last over time, helping with improving overall mental health. Surprisingly, masturbation can also help women ease menstrual pain. The contraction of the uterus and pelvic muscles can temporarily relieve back pain and help relieve the \u2018pressure\u2019 one might feel. Surprisingly enough, it can even help prevent urinary tract and cervical infections by flushing out bacteria. The contractions of the multiple muscles involved in orgasm strengthen the pelvic floor, which is proven to lead to better sex and even more orgasms. Amazingly, reaching orgasm can also help blood come out faster by the contractions of the uterus and vagina, therefore helping reduce the length of your period! Now if that doesn\u2019t motivate you to touch yourself more, I don\u2019t know what will.<\/p>\n

Partnered Sexual Experiences<\/h2>\n

Now hear me out, having your alone time is amazing and so much can be learned by practicing frequent masturbation, but lets explore the benefits of masturbation in partnered intimacy. Masturbating can help women be more confident and vocal in bed with their needs, let their partner(s) know exactly what they like and how to get them there. Masturbation is proven to increase sexual function– desire, arousal and an increase in overall lubrication, all things that are important to experience fulfilling and pleasurable sexual relations. By keeping the brain stimulated in regards to sexual arousal, a domino effect can be triggered and women then are more likely to have higher sexual desire and tend to be more motivated and open to being intimate. Masturbation can also help women understand the difference between a well-suited sex partner versus one who might not be. Since women who masturbate are more in tune with their sexuality, they will be able to know more easily who and what is compatible or not. Women who diddle themselves tend to be less dependant on their partners for pleasure and orgasm, which can make them more relaxed and centered partners. It can make women feel more empowered, less needy, and have lower expectations towards their partners, keeping the pressure out of the bedroom, leaving nothing but time to enjoy the ride.<\/p>\n

We can now understand that when women masturbate, there is little to no downside. Women who masturbate are more likely to be in tune with their bodies, tend to communicate more clearly, and are more likely to have a positive self-image. When women are more in tune with their own bodies, they are more likely to let loose and relax during sexual intimacy, and tend more easily to achieve pleasure. As we have stated in the article Are Men Who Masturbate Better Lovers?<\/a> the most important thing to remember is that, the most crucial element that makes a good lover is communication. Do not hesitate to touch yourself, watch \u201chow-to\u201d masturbation videos, and have some fun exploring because that\u2019s one of the best ways you\u2019ll be able to boost your self-esteem, learn what you really need and want, and be able to communicate this to your partners so that everyone can have a good time and reap the benefits!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
