When it comes to talking about self love, let’s face it, it’s not the topic of discussion while having a cup of coffee with your girlfriends. It’s a subject that’s rarely acknowledged. Some may feel ashamed and think they’ll be judged, while some think it’s just way too personal to talk about.
Ladies, pleasuring yourself is nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, not only is the act an exhilarating experience, it is extremely beneficial to your health and highly recommended that you do it multiple times a week.
Here are some advantages to self pleasuring
Stress Relief
One of the best health benefits of pleasing yourself is that it’s a great way to relieve stress and tension. Those few minutes (or hours) you have to yourself, with no interruptions, will help you escape all things that put pressure on you.
Sleep Aid
Just like lovemaking, self pleasure can help you sleep. It helps release tension which usually causes insomnia. Leading up to the climax, Dopamine, the “feel-good” hormone, is released. Then, the calming hormone, Oxycotin, is released along with endorphins which relaxes you and prepares you for the greater sleep ever.
Cervical Health
During the climaxing stage, the cervix opens and the muscular function known as “tenting” stretches and pulls cervical mucus which is full of volume and acidity. Increased bacteria (the good kind) causes acidity and during tenting, the fluid is moved from the cervix to the vagina, lubricating it and flushing out the bad bacteria that can cause infections.
Overall Health
Multiple studies have shown that it can also help lessen the risk of developing heart issues, like CHD (Coronary Heart Disease), as well as Type-2 Diabetes.
Discover Desires Through Self-Exploration
It is very important to self explore and get to know your body. You should know your body better than anyone else. Learning what pleases you and what doesn’t helps when looking for a partner.
Relieves Cramps
Cramps: A woman’s worst nightmare. Every month, we look forward to using painkillers and/or any remedies that’ll make them subside. Self pleasure is an easy way to get rid of them.
Boosts The Immune System
Aside from lowering your risk of developing heart problems and diabetes, self love can also lower your risk of getting colds.
Remember: A rub a day keeps the colds away
Can Cure A UTI
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) can be über irritating and painful. Aside from drinking cranberry juice and peeing after intercourse to avoid getting another one, pleasuring yourself helps flush out bacteria from your cervix. The more you do it, the more you’re lowering your chances to getting UTIs
Pelvic Strength
Not only is self pleasure fun, it’s also exercise. Climaxing works out your pelvic floor. As the clitoris swells up, the uterus lifts and contracts, strengthening your whole uterine/vaginal muscle area.
