The Kinky Sex
An act that has been observed in human beings from the beginning of time, masturbation is the process of sexually stimulating your own private parts for the sake of arousal or other forms of sexual pleasure and it often continues until you achieve orgasm. Masturbation can be done using fingers, hands, regular household items, sex toys (like dildos or vibrators) or several of these items together.
Masturbation can be mutual in a case where it is carried out with a partner. In that case or scenario, it is possible for the manual stimulation of the private parts of the partner to be carried out too. Masturbation is often considered as a form of sex but one in which there is no sexual penetration.
Over time, it has been noticed that the act of masturbation is an activity that both males and females engage in regularly. This is true irrespective of the age of the subjects. One of the most interesting things about masturbation is that the way it was viewed over time, changing gradually from seen as an abomination to be seen as a normal and healthy part of human sexuality. In this age and time though, different faiths and religious denominations have different views of what masturbation is and the permissiveness within the context of spiritual themes.
However, the medical community is unanimous in reaching a consensus that masturbation is not only natural but also has several health benefits as usual. Masturbation is not seen in just human beings alone, but also in other animal species and it remains one of the most interesting and captivating things for humans to study.
What is Female Masturbation?
Now that masturbation has been defined, it should be clearer to all readers that it is a process that is as natural as eating and drinking. Thus, female masturbation is simply the act of females sexually stimulating their private parts for the sake of sexual arousal, pleasure or just to achieve orgasm.
Benefits of Female Masturbation
There are several advantages and benefits that can accrue from female masturbation. In this section, the focus is going to be on these perks of arousing yourself.
Stress Relief
Can you recollect the most amazing orgasm that you have ever had? And how you felt after your body collapsed into a calm and relaxed bag? Yes, that is it. Masturbating till the point of orgasm gets to assist you in relieving stress in different ways. The first way is that even before you get to the point of the climax, you have to concentrate your thoughts by shifting focus away from the things disturbing your mind thus getting rid of stress. By the time you reach the point of orgasm, your whole body is electrified and you tend to forget any of the things stressing you. This way, masturbation is a very good way to reduce tension and minimize the impact of stress.
In this age where there is so much stress in our personal and professional lives, female masturbation is definitely recommended. Some will ask, how does this work? Well, the orgasm that results after you have touched yourself releases an explosion of biochemically-active substances called endorphins. It is these endorphins that are released from the brain that work on the body and bring about the overall relaxation that you feel.
Endorphins are known for making you feel really good and positive. Therefore, if you are feeling overwhelmed by the stressors from work, marriage or family, maybe the time has come for you to have some private moments to spoil yourself (winks).
Improvement in Sleep
If you have been having trouble sleeping normally, then there is every chance that there is a disruption in not just your sleep cycle but the sexual response cycle itself. When a woman masturbates, the physiological cycles in her body are triggered. An example is when the cardiovascular system goes into overdrive as you reach climax. The muscles contract rapidly and violently, your heart starts racing, your breathing rate peaks and then in all falls making you relax, get tired and then sleep off – even without you realizing it.
Apart from the physical exertion that goes into masturbation, another reason why you become tired and fall asleep is because of the release of a hormone called prolactin. It is this prolactin that adds to the feeling of relaxation and sexual contentment that you often feel after touching the most sensitive parts of your body until you climax.
In order to get the best out of it, you should have a warm bath before you commence the masturbation so your body will be primed for maximal pleasure followed by deep relaxation and sleep.
Improved Confidence
As a lady, when you masturbate, you get to have the opportunity to explore various parts of your body. You get to connect your body with pleasure and in no time, you get to appreciate your body. This increases the level of self-confidence and builds up self-esteem as far as your physical features and sexuality are concerned. The more you get to explore your body, the more you discover your beauty as a person.
You will also get to have a better comprehension of your body, you know what makes you really get aroused, you know the parts that are to be stimulated for maximum pleasure and with time, you gain mastery of your entire body, especially the erogenous zones.
Increased Sexual Desire
In physiology, there is something called a positive feedback loop and it simply means that a positive result can lead to more positive results. The same thing can be applied to masturbation. Here, a lady’s masturbation will lead to her having a higher libido (sexual desire), in other words, the more you stimulate yourself, the more you will actually want to be stimulated. That is actually the way humans and their bodies work. If you enjoy a tiny amount of something delicious, you will always want more and that same thing applies to masturbation.
In that case, masturbation can be very helpful for people who have issues with low sexual drive. If your libido tank is running low, what can help you is to stimulate yourself and it actually works. It sets your body in the mood because masturbation triggers a series of sexual thoughts which will eventually lead to the action that you really desire.
However, that is not to say that you have to totally depend on masturbation if your case is that of chronic low libido. Irrespective of the cause of the low sexual drive that you have, it is always advisable that you see a medical doctor and seek professional counsel instead of trying to handle everything just by yourself and on your own alone.
Boosts Sexual Life in Relationships or Marriages
Based on the same positive feedback loop that has been outlined in the paragraphs above, masturbating has the tendency of making you find your partner, lover or spouse even more attractive. The more you stimulate yourself, the more sexual thoughts of being in bed with your soulmate will be racing through your mind. And surely, the thoughts will not stop until you decide to bring the fantasy into reality in the bedroom.
Another way by which masturbation is good for your relationship is that since you have gained mastery over your body, you know the parts that you can direct your partner to act on for maximal pleasure and optimal sensation. All these add a new dimension of quality and enjoyment to the sexual and bonding aspects of the relationship. The only time you need to step on the brakes is if masturbation is negatively affecting the sexual part of your relationship. If that is the case with you, then the time has come for you to visit a trained medical professional who can advise you on the most effective therapies applicable to your particular case.
Excellent for Physical Fitness
Even though this is by no way to suggest that masturbation should replace your gym membership, the reality here is that masturbation also contributes to physical fitness. By increasing the overall activity of your cardiovascular and respiratory systems, masturbation is able to increase the metabolic rates in your body. In fact, if you decide to exert enough pressure on the sessions of masturbation, you can get your heart rate to the extent that it can qualify for a cardiac workout.
Strengthen Your Urogenital System
As a woman, one of the areas that can really gain from your masturbation is your pelvic floor. This is a set of muscles that protect your womb, urinary bladder and other organs and structures in the body. Having stronger pelvic muscles assist you in many ways, not to mention that they actually make your orgasms more intense and pleasurable.
Coping with Menstrual Cramps
Of course, we do not need to tell you here that menstrual cramps remain one of the biggest enemies that the female folk have to live with. Menstrual cramps can mess up everything for a lady and for a lady writhing in pain, the last thing on her mind is definitely having sex. But the interesting thing here is that by masturbating, she is actually able to reduce the intensity of these menstrual cramps.
In fact, masturbation will not just relieve her of the pain, it will also make her feel much better. This is possible because of the release of endorphins from the brain. However, it must be stated at this point that it is not all the time that the orgasm resulting from masturbation is able to provide the much-needed relief. If you happen to have menstrual cramps that are so debilitating that you can barely move, then the time has come for you to visit your gynecologist.
No Pregnancies or Diseases
Masturbation is fondly referred to as the safest form of sex. As funny as this may sound, it is actually true. With masturbation, you can be sure that you are all by yourself and that means you do not have to worry about impregnating yourself or contracting a sexual disease from someone else.
Why Do Females Masturbate?
This is a very odd question but there are those out there who will still insist on asking. Well, females masturbate the same reason males masturbate too: out of curiosity and to seek pleasure. Masturbation is natural and is seen in several human and non-human species.
Useful Hints and Tips on Female Masturbation
Masturbation is fun but it can even be more interesting if you have the following tips in mind:
- Ensure that your hands are very clean before you commence the joy-giving session. You will definitely not want to stick your hands full of all kinds of microorganisms into some of the most sensitive parts of your body. Hygiene must always come before pleasure.
- Urinate when done. As a lady, one thing that you must make sure that you do whenever you are done with a session of masturbation is to urinate. This is actually based on the anatomy of your pelvis. Microorganisms from the anus can mistakenly get into your urethra while masturbating. And considering the fact that your hands have been all over the place, there is the possibility of getting some pathogens into your urethra. So, in order to be sure that these pathogens do not move up the urethra and cause all sorts of urinary tract infections, you should urinate so as to get rid of these microorganisms if present.
- Masturbation Does Not Mean Your Virginity Is Gone. Well, if all you did was just to poke your privates with your fingers but have never had anyone else penetrate you vaginally, then you are still very much a virgin. This is a hint that many will find very useful and beneficial as there is some level of controversy as to whether masturbation can destroy the status of virginity which is held in high esteem in many societies across the globe.
