Masturbation. Myths and facts.

Surprisingly enough there are many stable myths and misbelieves about masturbation. Below we are going to make an attempt to separate facts from wrong ideas.

Only teens and young people masturbate

Many adult men and women, including those who are married go on masturbating and do this until the end of their lives. There are reliable evidences of the fact that most adult men and about half of women from time to time masturbate. Perhaps most often people masturbate being from 24 to 50 years old. Married people, especially men, masturbate rarer than single. Frequency of masturbation considerably varies - from very rare (once or twice times a year) up to once a day and even more often. The fact that a person masturbates says nothing about him or her. Healthy and happy people masturbate as well as all others.

Masturbation is for those who do not have a sex partner

Actually this is partly true. Indeed, masturbation especially masturbation involving sex toys (vaginas, penis vibrators) help single people satisfy their need for sex. However, masturbation can be an independent way to express your sexuality, a way which does not depend on whether other types of sex activity are available for you. Many of those who have quite active sex life and who can have sex with a partner any time they want masturbate with great pleasure. Studies show that masturbation is one of components of usual active sex life which includes partnered sex. Those who often masturbate are more likely to have frequent sex contacts with a partner. Some people choose rather other types of sexual behavior than masturbation, but this should not be considered a sign of sexual maturity or dissatisfaction.

One can masturbate only alone
This is again partly true. Indeed a woman prefers to indulge her pussy with a realistically looking penis vibrator on her own, a man as well does not show his playing with sex toys to his girlfriend. Very many partners do not speak to each other about masturbation. Even if they both regularly masturbate they find it difficult to speak openly about this matter and not to hide their sex toys in some unavailable places. However, they should do something to overcome this communicative barrier. This is going to become a new stage of their sexual relationships. Some couples find it exciting to masturbate simultaneously or to look at masturbating partner. Indeed there is nothing like looking at a woman getting satisfaction from a penis vibrator! Men, please, keep in mind that a penis vibrator, even being very similar of male penis is not your rival!

Do not masturbate too often!
It used to be considered for quite a long time that there is nothing wrong about masturbation provided one does nor resort to it too often. However, there are no medical criteria measuring excessive masturbation. By all appearances masturbation is of no harm irrespective of its frequency. In most cases there are some natural limits. A person gets indifferent to sexual arousal when experiencing sexual saturation. The number of orgasms necessary for sexual saturation depends on the individual and some circumstances. Therefore if you feel like using your penis vibrator every day, if you love satisfying yourself quite often, than do not limit yourself. Have fun!

Masturbation can be as enjoyable as partnered sex

If speaking only about physiology, we must say that some people can get complete sexual satisfaction from masturbation. But it is known that people need not only physiological, but emotional pleasure as well. This does not mean that masturbation is of no use, no! Frequent masturbation, especially female masturbation gives a person possibility to experience very strong orgasm, sometimes even stronger that can be achieved during sexual intercourse. However, keep in mind that satisfaction cannot be complete if not shared with a partner. Even the most realistic penis vibrator will not give you emotional charge. Use your penis vibrator but not replace your beloved man with it!

Masturbation can make a man infertile

There was spread misbelieve that claimed that male body can produce quite a limited amount of sperm and every ejaculation approaches a man to complete exhaust. In fact glands producing semen maintain their activity beginning with sexual maturation and ending with old age. They do not stop producing sperm after a certain number of orgasms.

Masturbation is of physiological necessity

Some people, especially men think that absence of orgasms is very harmful. In fact body adopts sperm production to the level of sexual activity. Though masturbation can be a very pleasant experience and though it can be of great importance, it is not necessary for physical and physiological well-being. The conclusion is very simple - there are no strict rules! Masturbate if you want to!
