Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Masturbation is one of those topics that tends to stay
- 0:03Speaker 1: quite literally behind closed doors. Even though it's a completely
- 0:06Speaker 1: normal and healthy sexual activity, we often shy away from
- 0:10Speaker 1: discussing it openly, treating it like a taboo subject. In
- 0:13Speaker 1: this video, we'd like to tackle some of the questions
- 0:16Speaker 1: you might have but feel too uncomfortable to ask. So,
- 0:20Speaker 1: if you're curious about how masturbation impacts your emotions, relationships,
- 0:24Speaker 1: and overall well-being, stick around and keep watching. Quick disclaimer.
- 0:32Speaker 1: in previous videos, especially the ones related to sex and
- 0:35Speaker 1: porn addictions. While this one presents it more positively, it's
- 0:39Speaker 1: important to remember that it's not just all good or
- 0:42Speaker 1: all bad. The subject depends on how you frame it,
- 0:45Speaker 1: and we aim to find that balance. With that said,
- 0:48Speaker 1: let's get started. Number one, the dark side of pleasure.
- 0:53Speaker 1: Masturbation is often seen as a path to relaxation and pleasure,
- 0:57Speaker 1: but for some, it can lead to unexpected feelings of guilt.
- 1:00Speaker 1: In psychological research, this is referred to as ego dystonic masturbation.
- 1:06Speaker 1: Ever felt a touch of shame after exploring your body?
- 1:08Speaker 1: These feelings usually surface when your actions clash with your
- 1:12Speaker 1: internal beliefs. Maybe you grew up in a culture that
- 1:14Speaker 1: stigmatizes sex, or perhaps your religious views suggest it's something
- 1:18Speaker 1: to avoid. Sometimes it's just a deeply ingrained notion that
- 1:22Speaker 1: what you're doing is somehow wrong. But here's the truth.
- 1:25Speaker 1: There's absolutely nothing to feel guilty about. You deserve to
- 1:28Speaker 1: enjoy your own body without guilt or shame. After all,
- 1:32Speaker 1: it's a private matter and no one else needs to know.
- 1:36Speaker 1: Number two, a sexual strategy. While masturbation is usually a
- 1:40Speaker 1: solo act, it's closely tied to your experiences with partnered
- 1:44Speaker 1: sex and how you feel about those experiences. Psychologists came
- 1:48Speaker 1: up with two theories that explain why people use masturbation
- 1:51Speaker 1: with partnered sex, compensatory model and complementary model. If you
- 1:55Speaker 1: feel like your partner isn't meeting all of your sexual needs,
- 1:58Speaker 1: you might turn to masturbation as a way to fill
- 2:01Speaker 1: in the gaps, finding satisfaction where they fall short. This
- 2:04Speaker 1: is a compensatory model, since you compensate for the lack
- 2:07Speaker 1: of satisfaction. On the flip side, the complementary model states
- 2:11Speaker 1: that even if your partner is a rock star in bed,
- 2:13Speaker 1: masturbation can still play a role, this time as an enhancer.
- 2:17Speaker 1: It can add an extra layer of fun and pleasure
- 2:20Speaker 1: to an already great sex life, making the experience even
- 2:23Speaker 1: more satisfying. 3. Worlds Apart One scenario where masturbation might
- 2:29Speaker 1: become your go-to for satisfaction is when sexual incompatibility comes
- 2:33Speaker 1: into play. This happens when you and your partner just
- 2:36Speaker 1: aren't aligned in the bedroom. Maybe your kinks don't quite match,
- 2:40Speaker 1: you prefer different positions or your ideas about foreplay and
- 2:43Speaker 1: aftercare are miles apart. Research suggests that sexual incompatibility is
- 2:48Speaker 1: a common reason why some people turn to solo play
- 2:51Speaker 1: instead of partnering up. After all, you're the one who
- 2:54Speaker 1: knows your body best. So when your desires aren't fully met,
- 2:57Speaker 1: masturbation becomes a reliable way to bridge that gap and
- 3:00Speaker 1: find the pleasure that you crave. Apart from sexual compatibility,
- 3:04Speaker 1: people choose to masturbate for a variety of different reasons
- 3:07Speaker 1: despite pure pleasure, such as imagining their sexual fantasies out
- 3:11Speaker 1: of compulsion or even to avoid risky sexual activities in
- 3:15Speaker 1: which they'd engage if it wasn't for solo sessions. Number four,
- 3:20Speaker 1: single and ready to mingle. Whether you're using masturbation to
- 3:24Speaker 1: fill the gaps in your sexual life or to boost
- 3:26Speaker 1: your pleasure, it can play a significant role in your
- 3:29Speaker 1: overall sexual satisfaction. But do you necessarily need to be
- 3:32Speaker 1: in a relationship to experience this satisfaction? singles might actually
- 3:38Speaker 1: benefit more from masturbation than those in relationships. Studies have
- 3:41Speaker 1: shown that single women who masturbate regularly often experience more
- 3:46Speaker 1: intense orgasms. And according to one study, women usually masturbate
- 3:50Speaker 1: 2-3 times per week. Single men who often masturbate report
- 3:53Speaker 1: improved erectile function. And those who ejaculate around 21 times
- 3:57Speaker 1: per month or more are less likely to develop prostate cancer.
- 4:01Speaker 1: This means that even if you're flying solo, you can
- 4:04Speaker 1: still enjoy a fulfilling sexual life and also gain some
- 4:07Speaker 1: health benefits. Sometimes it's just about enjoying the company of me,
- 4:12Speaker 1: myself and I. Number five, finding relief in crisis. In
- 4:17Speaker 1: addition to its effects on emotions, relationships and sexual pleasure,
- 4:21Speaker 1: masturbation is also a powerful stress relief strategy. It can
- 4:25Speaker 1: help you unwind from everyday pressures and serve as a
- 4:28Speaker 1: coping mechanism during particularly stressful times. For example, research from
- 4:33Speaker 1: the COVID-19 lockdown revealed that many people turned to masturbation
- 4:37Speaker 1: to manage the anxiety and stress that built up during
- 4:40Speaker 1: the pandemic. Out of more than 2,000 participants from the study,
- 4:45Speaker 1: 17% used some form of sexual behavior as a coping strategy,
- 4:48Speaker 1: with masturbation being the most frequent one. Besides being a
- 4:52Speaker 1: natural way to alleviate stress, masturbation can also relieve pain
- 4:56Speaker 1: and stimulate the release of happiness-inducing hormones in the brain.

- 5:09Speaker 1: gained recognition as a valuable tool in sexual therapy. Sex

- 5:20Speaker 1: to engage in sexual activity. Masturbation can help in this
- 5:24Speaker 1: case because it allows people to explore what feels good

- 5:41Speaker 1: pleasure and gradually increase interest in sex with a partner.

- 5:48Speaker 1: advocate for masturbation as a means to explore and understand

- 6:00Speaker 1: improves communication with your partner. Once you know what you enjoy,
