How to masturbate
While there’s no right or wrong way to pleasure yourself, some women find it difficult to climax during sex, and this is far more common if they haven’t learned to orgasm on their own. So, practice makes perfect! It doesn’t matter whether you use your hands or a sex toy of some description, the better you are at pleasing yourself, the more likely someone else will be able to do it.
Masturbation myths
For guys and gals alike, there are many masturbation myths out there that might be putting you off your stroke. No, it won’t make you go blind, or cause any angels to drop out of heaven. Wanking is perfectly normal. In fact, it comes (lol) with many health benefits, including the release of endorphins that influence mental wellbeing, and for some people, reduced menstrual cramping.
How much is too much
Also, there isn’t a magic number of wanks per day beyond which your genitals will fall off, but like anything else it could be considered an addiction if it’s getting in the way of other parts of your life. Otherwise, releasing some sexual tension through masturbation is absolutely safe.
Wanking and porn
These days, wanking and porn go hand in hand. While there’s not necessarily anything morally wrong with watching porn, it’s important to remember that the kinds of bodies you might be seeing on your laptop are likely to be a very narrow representation of what human bodies look like. Not everybody has a ten inch penis or a designer vagina, and the world wouldn’t be very interesting if we all looked the same.
