It’s no longer a secret that masturbation is fun and also does something for our well-being. But very few people know that it can also save lives, help with a cold and much more. We’re now giving you even more reasons to go on regular dates with yourself.

1. Orgasm for stuffy nose

Yes, okay, you won’t die from a stuffy nose. BUT it’s just so incredibly annoying when you can’t breathe properly. As is well known, you should not take nasal spray for longer than seven days, otherwise you risk becoming addicted. However, it is not uncommon for the runny nose to persist and sometimes last for more than a week. This may be less of a problem during the day because you can perhaps stay afloat with nasal douches, sea water nasal spray, smelling pens and the like. At night it’s just annoying.

Here comes us one Study from Heilbronn by ENT doctor Olcay Cem Bulut and his colleagues, which found that masturbation and sex with orgasm clears the nose. The reason for this: The sympathetic nervous system is activated by excitement, which in turn leads to the release of the hormone adrenaline. And this causes the blood vessels in the nose to constrict, making it feel less stuffy and reducing inflammation. Unfortunately the effect only lasts a maximum of an hour, but at least right?

2. Masturbation for early detection

Women are advised to regularly self-examine their breasts for lumps. But that’s not the only place where changes are noticed more quickly if we take the time to examine ourselves every now and then. The same applies to our intimate area. Anyone who masturbates regularly and touches their own body will of course notice changes more quickly and can therefore be recognized and treated earlier. Definite pro for solo sex.

3. Masturbation reduces the risk of cancer and diabetes

Masturbation can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, reduce insomnia through hormone and tension relief, relieve depression and migraines, and increase pelvic floor strength through the contractions that occur during orgasm. At the same time, the orgasm has a pain-relieving effect and regular masturbation or sex also has a positive effect on our immune system and our blood pressure. In men, regular masturbation also reduces the risk of developing prostate cancer.

Touching yourself is not only fun, but also has many positive side effects for our health. And prevention is always better than aftercare, right?
