Here are 5 ways m@sturbation can help your mental health

There are a lot of myths when it comes to m@sturbation, and many of those myths can be backed up with scientific studies.

M@sturbation helps you learn what you like s.e.xually, but it can also help your mental health too.

M@sturbation can help you relieve a lot of mental health symptoms such as stress and difficulty sleeping, but it however is not a treatment for any mental disorder.

M@sturbation affects your brain

When you m@sturbate, your body releases a number of “feel-good” hormones called endorphins, and although studies differ on exactly how, research indicates that it also affects the prefrontal cortex of your brain.

M@sturbation can affect your mood

Because m@sturbation makes you feel good when your body releases endorphins that temporarily boost your mood.

Relieves stress and anxiety

Studies show that the presence of oxytocin lowers the levels of another hormone — cortisol, which is associated with high stress. Some people find that m@sturbation’s stress-fighting effects also work for managing anxiety.

M@sturbation helps you sleep

Oxytocin, along with prolactin, another hormone released during m@sturbation, makes you feel relaxed, so m@sturbation can be an all-natural sleep aid.

Can help your self-esteem

M@sturbation can help improve your body image and self-esteem.

This makes sense: m@sturbation is a great way to get to know your body better and appreciate all that it can do.
