For a long time, masturbation and sex have not been something that can be talked about loudly, especially for people in some countries and regions. Due to the long-term influence of social culture or religious culture, people feel ashamed and embarrassed about talking about sex, and may even avoid talking about sex. International Masturbation Month is about eliminating the shame around sex and masturbation, and also to better embrace self-pleasure and enjoy the beauty of sex. Let’s talk about sex!
The Historical Origins of Masturbation Month
The first National Masturbation Day was observed on May 7, 1995, by sex toy seller Good Vibrations in honor of Surgeon General Jocelyn Elders. She was fired in 1994 for suggesting masturbation, and since then awareness of, and shame around, masturbation has improved dramatically. It highlights the importance of more sex education in schools to make people aware that masturbation is part of sex.
What are the benefits of masturbation?
The most direct benefit of masturbation is that it brings pleasure. There are also health benefits, such as helping us sleep better, relieving stress and pain, and improving our mood. Studies have shown that masturbation can also reduce the risk of certain diseases, such as penile cancer.
Masturbation can help you learn more about your body, what actions you like, and what stimulation makes you feel good. Understanding yourself better can also lead to better orgasms and increased sexual confidence. You can describe it better to your partner, guide your partner, and give yourself a better experience during sex.
