Masturbation is the self-stimulation of the genitals to
achieve sexual arousal and pleasure, usually to the point of orgasm (sexual
climax). It is commonly done by touching, stroking, or massaging the penis or
clitoris until an orgasm is achieved. Some women also use stimulation of the
vagina to masturbate or use "sex toys," such as a vibrator.
Who Masturbates?
Just about everybody. Masturbation is a very common
behavior, even among people who have sexual relations with a partner. In one
national study, 95% of males and 89% of females reported that they have
masturbated. Masturbation is the first sexual act experienced by most males and
females. In young children, masturbation is a normal part of the growing
child's exploration of his or her body. Most people continue to masturbate in
adulthood, and many do so throughout their lives.
Why Do People Masturbate?
In addition to feeling good, masturbation is a good way of
relieving the sexual tension that can build up over time, especially for people
without partners or whose partners are not willing or available for sex.
Masturbation also is a safe sexual alternative for people who wish to avoid
pregnancy and the dangers of sexually transmitted diseases. It also is
necessary when a man must give a semen sample for infertility testing or for
sperm donation. When sexual dysfunction is present in an adult, masturbation
may be prescribed by a sex therapist to allow a person to experience an orgasm
(often in women) or to delay its arrival (often in men).
Is Masturbation Normal?
While it once was regarded as a perversion and a sign of a
mental problem, masturbation now is regarded as a normal, healthy sexual
activity that is pleasant, fulfilling, acceptable, and safe. It is a good way
to experience sexual pleasure and can be done throughout life.
Masturbation is only considered a problem when it inhibits
sexual activity with a partner, is done in public, or causes significant
distress to the person. It may cause distress if it is done compulsively and/or
interferes with daily life and activities.
Is Masturbation Harmful?
In general, the medical community considers masturbation to
be a natural and harmless expression of sexuality for both men and women. It
does not cause any physical injury or harm to the body, and can be performed in
moderation throughout a person's lifetime as a part of normal sexual behavior.
Some cultures and religions oppose the use of masturbation or even label it as
sinful. This can lead to guilt or shame about the behaviour.
Some experts suggest that masturbation can actually improve
sexual health and relationships. By exploring your own body through
masturbation, you can determine what is erotically pleasing to you and can
share this with your partner. Some partners use mutual masturbation to discover
techniques for a more satisfying sexual relationship and to add to their mutual
intimacy.
