WS 498 The Health Benefits of Masturbation
For Masturbation May it’s all things Masturbation, and this time Ms Harper brought all the health benefits of masturbation, including how you can use your private time to perform a self check of your prostate while reducing your stress and gaining deep pleasure!
(0:00 – 0:44)
It is time for you, my dear, sweet, beautiful people to come forth and join Poor School, your adult sex education podcast. Is it possible that I have way too much fun doing this? Yep. Do I care? Nope.
We’re going to talk about the health benefits of masturbation. We’re also going to discuss masturbating while stressed and how sometimes that’s really difficult to do. Don’t worry, I have tips.
I always have tips. You know me. Come on.
(0:48 – 2:42)
So, masturbation. What’s masturbation? You may be asking yourself or me. Masturbation is self-gratification.
Yeah, that’s what that is. It is using your hands or a tool, a sex toy, basically, to stimulate your genitals and or secondary sexual characteristics for pleasure. There.
That’s the broadest possible definition of what masturbation is that I can give you. If you are listening to the live show or if you would like to join the live show, you have to join our Discord. Discord.gg slash Enchantrix Empire.
Come join us. It’s really, really great. The chat is built in now, so there’s no more of this whole, well, you have to go to a completely different site to chat.
Nope, it’s all in one. Just one site. You just need to be on Discord.
Yes, you can run it in a browser. Addie has joined us. Callie the Sweet Girl, Patti, and Tina are all in here.
Sup, gang? You can also find me usually Friday nights. There’s a live group podcast that happens at 9 p.m. Eastern, Femdom Fridays, and I participate in that. Come join that one.
On Saturday nights, you can find Kinks and Drinks with Ms. Krista. Mondays, the weekly hotspot drops. That is a pre-recorded podcast that’s not live.
(2:42 – 3:25)
Happy Hour with KMarie, however, is live, and it is at 8 p.m. It’s still on Podbean for now, but Podbean is doing away with streaming, and so it will be back over here with us in the good place soon. Kink Corner will, I believe Kink Corner is not happening this week, unless my brain has farted, because I think I marked down in my planner that I’m going to deliberately show up on the 20th for Kink Corner, because that should be the first time Ms. Constance is over here in Discord. Again, 8 p.m. Eastern on Wednesdays is Kink Corner.
(3:27 – 3:42)
Thursdays, you get Hanging with Hunter. Hopefully, she will be here this coming week. Fridays, you also gain access to Kinkology, the psychology of kink with Becky.
(3:42 – 4:11)
That one is a pre-recorded podcast as well. It’s not live. Sucks to be you, but we do have live podcasts that go out six out of seven days of the week, and pretty soon, they’re all going to be taking place right here in Discord.
Tina says, I’ve received the email from Podbean. Man. Oh, first we were using Spreaker.
(4:12 – 5:34)
Spreaker got bought by iHeartRadio, and they decided that they didn’t want live podcasts to be competing with their radio, iHeartRadio, the iHeartRadio network, and so Spreaker got rid of live streams. Great. Fabulous.
What are we paying you for, you cock? And so we went to Podbean, and Podbean goes, okay, fine. Yeah, you can come over here. Just in a year, we’re going to do away with live streams too, for reasons.
All right, fuckers. So we’re on Discord. Screw it.
We’re on Discord now. Oh, no. Patty has to go to sleep now.
My work starts at nine instead of 10. I should be going to bed now. You and your healthy sleep schedule.
Weird. I only say that because I kind of screwed myself by setting up Whore School to be at this time of night, and then my sleep schedule completely changed, and I wound up, this is late for me. I’m staying up late for y’all.
(5:35 – 6:27)
I will not tell you how many cups of coffee I’ve had today. Too many. Too many.
I should not have had this many cups of coffee. Anyway, so yeah. Yeah.
Tina says that she discovered Whore School via the Weekly Hotspot. Hey, I was recently on the Weekly Hotspot. You can find all of these podcasts that I just mentioned, by the way, on wherever you listen to podcasts.
And for those of you who were poking me about the fact that Whore School wasn’t updating on Spotify, I fixed it. They’re just in the wrong order. I don’t know how to fix that part.
(6:28 – 7:18)
They’re numbered correctly. Just, they will play backwards. Sorry.
I don’t know how to make it not do that. It’s because of the way I had to go about fixing it. Anyways.
Fucking hell, man. Tina said maybe delete it and re-upload it. I, it might help.
I don’t fucking know. I mean, it’s weird and quirky, and it kind of suits me. So, meh.
There’s a run of like four or five episodes in a row that are in the wrong order. I figure if people care, they can, you know, select which one they want to listen to. They’re all numbered.
(7:22 – 7:28)
And he’s like, Harper, but I don’t want to. It’s true. I don’t want to.
(7:30 – 8:34)
I don’t want to. You can’t make me. This is episode number 498.
By the way. And no, I might do something fun for the 500th episode. I’m probably not going to do anything for the 500th episode because that will be the day after the Stroke-a-thon.
My brain’s going to be tapioca, y’all. Maybe it’ll just be an Ask Me Anything episode. Almost anything.
And he’s like, but why? Tapioca. Tapioca brain. Pudding.
My brain shall be pudding. Tina says an Ask Me Anything could be cool. It could be cool.
It’ll probably be really cool. Gonna be awesome. Because I said so.
(8:36 – 11:20)
This is me slowly remembering all the places that I keep on forgetting I’m supposed to be posting shit to remind people that, oh, hey, you should listen to Whore School. Come over here and join me. Listen to the Whore School.
Blue Sky likes to put labels on my content. What label did you put on my content? Do I get to know? Oh, sexually suggestive. Well, only because the name of the entire fucking show is Whore.
Cool. Whore. It’s cool.
Anyways. Masturbation. Did you know that when you get super duper stressed out, sometimes your libido takes a hike? It drops like a rock, like a stone, like a terrible thing that goes very, very low, quite precipitously.
This is not a value judgment. This is a thing that our bodies do when we are stressed. It is to conserve energy.
We ain’t got time to masturbate when we’re extremely stressed. We need to deal with whatever the thing that has stressed us. And then we can go forth and have fun doing whatever other fun extracurricular activities there are out there in the world.
Like masturbating. This is unfortunate. Because one of the ways to deal with stress and alleviate yourself when you’re feeling very, very stressed is to masturbate.
Oops. So if the cure for stress is masturbation, but stress makes masturbation difficult to impossible, what’s a horny wanker to do? Or a not very horny wanker to do? Don’t worry. I have tips.
And he said it sounds like a pyramid scheme. Masturbation does lower stress. It absolutely does.
And it does this through a complex series of interactions that happen inside of your brain, mostly when you orgasm. So more accurately, orgasm really helps lower stress. But simple masturbation all by itself can help a great deal with stressful situations.
(11:25 – 12:28)
My brain is a mess because it just presented to me full bore the idea of being in a stressful situation like, oh, say, you go to the bank and then bank robbers burst in. Super stressful, right? And that the way to deal with bank robbers robbing the bank that you’re in is to masturbate. I don’t know.
I think if I was trying to rob a bank and some guy whips out his dick, I’d be like, yep. You keep doing that. I’m just gonna go.
Which would alleviate the stress. Oh, good. I might have had too much coffee.
Addie says she’s picturing that now, right? That’s not what I meant when I said that masturbation helps with stress. It can. That’s not exactly what I meant.
(12:36 – 13:06)
Masturbation is a form of auto eroticism. Auto meaning you’re automatic. Not needing another person present to do it.
You do it to yourself. As in anything that is auto erotic. And I’m sure you can fill in the blank with the most common fetish that is auto erotic.
Yep. I’m not saying that word. Auto erotic.
(13:07 – 13:51)
Splooshing, for example. You do it to yourself. Nobody else is there helping you or telling you what to do or directing you in any way.
Masturbation is often a solo activity or an activity that you do to yourself rather than having someone else do to or with you. So sex, often with a partner, at least one, is not auto most of the time. We can get really, really nitpicky and start describing some activities as masturbation during partnered sex, which is a thing that can happen.
(13:52 – 16:44)
If your partner’s just not getting it done for you and you would like a little bit more direct stimulation on a particular spot, you can reach down and do it yourself. You can masturbate yourself while somebody is licking your pussy, eating your ass, fucking you. You can provide extra stimulation if that is what you need in order to get off.
But most of the time when we’re talking about masturbation, we’re talking about something that is purely solo. You’re by yourself when this happens. But keep in mind that just because it’s something that happens when you’re by yourself and you’re the one touching yourself, it doesn’t mean that a partner can’t be involved in some way.
Mutual masturbation is a thing. That’s why it has the name mutual masturbation. Mutual masturbation means you and a partner and it’s usually just you and one single partner get together and masturbate together, separately, not touching each other, only touching yourself.
This can take place serially. So one person masturbates and then the other person masturbates. Or it can take place simultaneously.
Both of you masturbate at the same time. Something that I strongly recommend for people who don’t have a whole lot of sexual experience and don’t know what the hell they’re doing when they have a brand new partner that they would like to learn how to please really, really well. Ask them, how do you masturbate? Show me how you touch yourself.
Because one, that’s hot. Like, frankly, that’s sexy. And two, asking your partner to show you what they like done.
You better be fucking taking notes because they’re literally showing you this is how to get me off. Don’t get distracted. Don’t think about, oh, well, if they like that, I’m going to riff on it and do this other thing.
No, no, no. The first two or three times per sexual escapade, you should be doing exactly what your partner showed you works. So if your partner says, I like to be touched, soft and slow and gentle and run your fingers around the outside before you dive into the center of wherever and you decide, oh, okay.
Shove my dick in immediately. No foreplay. Gotcha.
(16:49 – 19:40)
You deserve blue balls. Don’t fucking do that. Don’t do that.
So asking your partner to show you via masturbation, how they like to be touched. Seriously, it’s hot and you should definitely do it. Masturbation reduces stress.
It lowers your blood pressure. It increases mental focus. Ever been so horny you can’t think? You know how you fix it, right? An orgasm.
So you stop being horny. Now you can think. Orgasm dumps a whole lot of the happy, happy brain chemicals into your head and it makes you, it makes you feel better.
Um, let’s see, brain chemistry in orgasm. Love this stuff. Thank you.
NIH. Oh God, there’s a captcha. You fucking piece of shit from hell.
Nope. Screw you. I’m not doing, I got caught in a captcha link.
How does our brain generate sexual pleasure? This is an article from the National Institute of Health from Barry R. Komisarek, Maria Cruz Rodriguez del Cerro, from the International Journal of Sexual Health. They were trying to account for the feeling of erotic sexual pleasure in terms of what’s known about neuron function. The brain regions activated during women’s orgasm and their perceptual and physiological roles compared with brain regions related to chemically induced euphoria and craving.
Oh, this is so cool. Yeah. I’m going to really love this.
In this essay, we developed the thesis that pleasure per se is a fundamental life force, which drives biologically adaptive behavior, promoting health and wellbeing. Fuck, I love that. Yes, please.
And he said, what’s wrong with captchas? Ms. Robot. They don’t like my VPN. And so they’re like, oh, you’re using a VPN? We think you’re fake.
(19:40 – 20:16)
You know what? No, I will not accept your cookies. Take that. Okay, so I’m saving this article to read through later.
Sexual pleasure is a cognitive experience based on the reciprocal relationship between body physiology and nervous system function. That a specific brain activity stimulates physiological responses in the genital system that in turn generates sensory nerve feedback to the brain, whose neurons generate pleasure. Yes.
(20:17 – 21:38)
Okay. It’s basically dopamine oxytocin. Oxytocin is the one that stimulates bonding and it makes you like people.
There’s a whole bunch I’m not going to talk to you about. Come on. The activation of the hippocampus may be related to the erotic fantasy commonly experienced at orgasm.
The activity of the anterior cingulate in insular cortices is of particular interest. Look, I’m not going to read all of this because it is very science heavy, but this is going into euphoria and craving as erotic sensuality. And how is it orgasm similar to the feeling that you get when you scratch and itch? What is the nature of feelings? What is the difference between neuronal excitation that feels good versus neuronal excitation that feels bad? Oh, I’m going to love reading this.
(21:38 – 23:09)
It is as science heavy as my thing. Do you want the link? Because I will happily copy this here. Here you go.
I have a link. Boom. Read that.
It’s great. I’m very excited about this article. Science.
So basically what’s happening inside your brain at the moment that you orgasm is doing something incredibly complex. The nature of pleasure is tied to the nature of pain, which I mean, hello, I do BDSM for a living. I could have told them that, but I love that they’re actually backing it up with science because science.
Yes, please. More science. Love science.
So, okay. Serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin are all happening inside your brain when you orgasm. And all of those are one, good for you.
And two, have very noticeable positive health benefits. And it doesn’t matter whether or not you attained that orgasm by yourself or with the help of someone else. And it also doesn’t matter if you attained that orgasm with someone who was physically present with you in the room and touching you, or if the person helping you attain your orgasm was just talking to you on the phone.
(23:10 – 24:09)
The positive health benefits of the orgasm itself or of the sexual activity are still present. While yes, having someone else who is with you present in the room, touching your body while you engage in mutually pleasurable sexual activity, kind of the apex. It’s really hard to beat something like that.
But just because it’s really hard to beat that, doesn’t mean it can’t be beaten. Because it is entirely possible for you to construct for yourself a masturbation scenario with fantasy and possibly with assistance and guidance that does beat partnered sex. Because there is such a thing as bad partnered sex.
(24:10 – 28:19)
Sex with somebody who just lays there like a limp fish. Yeah, put in some effort, buddy. Come on.
You’re more than just a dick. Somebody who doesn’t pay enough attention to you, doesn’t give you what you need, doesn’t touch you the way that you need, doesn’t provide for you all of the things that you were looking for in the sexual encounter, it’s possible to have very bad sex. And bad sex.
It depends on exactly how bad we’re talking about. Because an interrupted arousal response for some people is worse than no sex at all. Yeah, and so that’s why I’m a casual sex.
I don’t want bad sex. Most of the time, bad sex is just frustrating. You do all of this work and all of this effort and it should feel really, really good and your love just kind of like meh.
Well, now I need a shower, right? Sometimes bad sex takes the slide all the way into I need to call the police. Sex. Ew.
Which is far worse. That’s worse. I know.
Tina says I’m glancing over the article. There’s a paragraph called, what are feelings? It’s because they were trying to quantify what’s a feeling. Like, what is it? The neural basis for what is a feeling? What is the basis for the difference between good and bad feelings? What the fuck is going on? How? How does your brain interpret one touch to be good and then the same touch later on is bad? What the fuck is happening in there? And it’s there.
They’re getting very, very close to like feelings as rooted solely in the brain. They’re looking just at the neuronal effects of like what’s happening in your actual literal lumpy gray tapioca pudding inside your head. What’s happening inside there to create the feelings when feelings are a little bit more complex because now we have to get into the whole theory of mind and the sense of self and sometimes the self influences the feelings.
Good stuff. I love this. I love this.
Let us, let us look at what is the nature of the self and what is the nature of your feelings from a point of view of both physical determinism. An emotion is a thing that happens inside your brain and it’s just biochemistry versus an emotion is a thing that happens inside your brain that is biochemistry and also learned behavior, learned patterns, expectations, and thoughts, which go on, point to the part of a brain that is a thought. Addy said, haven’t people been trying to measure love for some time? Yeah.
Can’t do it. Turns out we’re really fucking complex. Like humans are way more complex than people want to admit that we are.
Whoops. Okay. Masturbation, the health benefits of masturbation.
(28:30 – 30:35)
Masturbation is normal. Masturbation is completely healthy and there is no moral component to whether or not you masturbate despite what some groups of people might want to try to say. So some people will try to tell you that if you masturbate too much, you’re going to hell.
That is a religious philosophical point of view to take about it. But from outside that particular framework, masturbation is just a thing that you do that it is, it feels good and you’re not hurting anyone. Provided of course, you don’t think that masturbation and sexuality in general is something that is dirty and will cause you harm on a spiritual level.
If you do think that that is true, um, call me because I really love doing blasphemy calls. And in that particular case, anything that you do sexually is blasphemous. Masturbation can reduce stress.
It can relieve tension. It can improve your sleep, increase your focus, boost your mood. It can alleviate aches and pains.
It can enhance your sex life. It can prevent anxiety and depression. For some people, masturbation can help prevent a migraine or stop a migraine from getting worse or even cure a migraine once you’ve got it.
For other people, masturbation makes migraines worse. You don’t get to know which one it is until you try it and find out. It’s fabulous.
Tina says after the show, I won’t masturbate. Good. Yay.
(30:39 – 31:29)
And he said, I think I’m in the second group. Oftentimes, so the act of masturbation will raise your blood pressure, but orgasm will lower your blood pressure lower than it was when you started masturbating. So if you start off high, you will have a spike as you reach the plateau and then as you climax, and as soon as you are finished orgasming, your blood pressure will drop lower than it was when you began.
So for certain types of headaches, if you have cluster headaches, for example, raising your blood pressure makes it worse. But if you can manage to orgasm, your blood pressure will drop lower than it was when you started, which can help the migraine. The trick is I have cluster headaches sometimes, not very often, thank goodness.
(31:30 – 31:52)
And I was like, oh, okay, if I masturbate, this can make it better. And then I rapidly discovered that no, attempting that spiked my blood pressure and made the headache so bad that I had to stop and go throw up. So it doesn’t really help me with those particular types of headaches.
(31:53 – 32:12)
Other headaches? Absolutely. It helps. Yes.
Yes. Absolutely. So it requires some experimentation and willingness to maybe potentially put yourself through a not very pleasant moment.
(32:13 – 33:48)
It happens. It’s fine. Oh, no.
How do you say with my headaches is that they get too strong. There’s literally nothing I can do to make them better. You know how not sleeping gives you headaches? Yeah, with me, those headaches are so bad that I can’t sleep.
I have had headaches. I’ve woken up because I woke up with a headache. That sucks, by the way.
And then I wasn’t able to go back to sleep because my head hurt. Oftentimes, if that’s the case, medication and water, it could be that you are severely dehydrated. You’re thirsty.
I want you to know that one of the cats has joined me on the couch and is staring intently at my face with her feet on my leg. She’s very prim, very proper. Just looking.
Do you need something? I fed you. I gave you food. What do you want? Oh, she wants to be petted.
That’s fair. All right, bye. And he says, pet the cat.
I know she’s very determined. She’s like, hello, pet me. So benefits of masturbation.
(33:49 – 33:59)
You can’t get pregnant. You can’t get anyone pregnant. Seems like pretty major positives to me.
(34:00 – 35:29)
It is a way to relieve and alleviate sexual discomfort, lust, horniness, need, desire, in a way that doesn’t like you. Yeah, no disease transmission and nobody’s getting pregnant with masturbation. Love that.
Love that for us. So male masturbation, a person who has a penis and testicles and a prostate gland. Males, suggested by at least one study, males who ejaculate frequently may have a lower risk of prostate cancer.
And that ejaculation often may prevent the buildup of cancer causing agents in your prostate gland. You can also really clear out your prostate gland by stimulating your prostate gland during masturbation. Stick a finger behind your balls, press up, and then kind of wiggle towards the front of your body and then back towards your asshole.
While pressing, you will find your prostate. It’s right there. It’s very close.
(35:30 – 37:20)
And if you have a prostate, you should do this on a regular basis. Check your prostate. Prostate havers, if you stick your finger behind your balls and you press up and you wiggle around and you immediately start to ejaculate, go see a doctor.
An overly sensitive prostate is bad. You should not immediately begin to ejaculate as soon as you touch your prostate. Completely ignore anything that you’ve ever read in badly written gay erotica about how having your prostate touched will make you immediately cum.
It will not. You need a little bit more. It’s going to take some touching.
It’s going to make you keep on you got to keep going. If you immediately start to ejaculate and especially if you start to ejaculate despite the fact that you weren’t all that close, you weren’t close, you were not edging, you haven’t been masturbating for very long, you just put a finger back there and you touched yourself and you immediately ejaculate. Go see a doctor.
Tell them exactly what you were doing and why you were there and tell them that you’re a little bit worried because that seems excessive. It’s one of the warning signs for prostate cancer along with if your prostate hurts when you touch it, go see a doctor. If your prostate seems extra swollen, go see a doctor.
(37:24 – 39:23)
Okay, please and thank you. But you should, if you happen to have a prostate, play with it when you masturbate, please, so that you clear it out. It is a gland.
You can express that gland. Most of what that gland produces is the liquid part of your ejaculate. Your testicles make the sperm.
The liquid goo comes out of your prostate. So if you mess around with your prostate while you masturbate, you’ll have a bigger load. There’ll be more of it.
It will feel more like a whole body experience rather than something that’s centered purely in your penis. And it’s better for you. Jazz hands.
He says the prostate makes the good stuff, the testicles make the not tasty stuff. You know, I’ve never actually done a taste comparison. Ejaculate with versus ejaculate without prostate stimulation.
Huh. Somebody needs to do that. Somebody that really gets off on eating cum can do that.
So people who have a female body, um, and as I was, I was in the, um, Enchantrix Empire discord server earlier today. We have a vent channel for if you want to talk about vinty, vinty things. And I was, I was talking about the fact that you cannot define a woman in a way that doesn’t exclude some women.
(39:23 – 41:19)
So a person who, uh, has a clitoris, they’re a person who at some point has a vulva or a vagina is a woman. Women who masturbate are more likely to have an orgasm during sexual relationships with their partners. And this applies to cis women as well as trans women.
And it’s because if you learn how to orgasm as a woman, you’re more likely to be able to orgasm with a partner because you already know how to, how to get yourself there. And so you can get there. Female masturbation can help provide relief for menstrual cramps.
So this is a problem that people who have a uterus often experience. You can refer back to the episode of Whore School where I explained in great depth and detail, the menstrual cycle, including the luteal phase, et cetera, et cetera. Menstrual cramps, um, when a person who has a uterus is in their menstrual cycle, the lining of the uterus is being shed and expelled from the body.
And as part of that process, the muscles of, uh, Hey, Bucky, you have joined for the worst possible moment. I’m so sorry. I’m explaining how female masturbation helps with menstrual cramps.
(41:22 – 42:25)
It just pops in right as I’m about to describe in graphic detail. Basically it’s all the smooth muscles from approximately the rib cage down are being flooded with hormones that cause all those smooth muscles to start to contract, which leads to cramps. And it’s possible to have menstrual cramps that are in the uterus, the walls, the whole organ itself can cramp, which hurts like a bitch.
You can also wind up with associated cramps throughout your small and large intestine, the muscles that control and contract around the bladder, muscles that are in the, the body. So like the physical, um, structures in the pelvis, all of those muscles. So muscles in the pelvis, in the hips.
(42:26 – 44:37)
I once had a cramp. It really, really sucked because it was a cramp in one of the muscles. Swear to God, it was, it was a pussy lip.
My pussy cramped. Like I had a labia cramp that went from clit to asshole. I wanted to cry.
It hurts so bad. So masturbation can help with those because orgasm is using exactly the same muscles to rhythmically contract them. And so oftentimes the muscles that are cramping, they cramp like that because it’s like, if you ever get a cramp in your foot, right? You have to flex your foot in order to get the muscle to release.
So like if it’s a cramp in your calf, you point your toes up towards your knee and you just desperately try to get your calf to stop cramp or cramp in the foot if to flex against the cramp. How the fuck do you flex a uterus with an orgasm? That’s how you flex a uterus with an orgasm to make the cramp stop, which is why masturbation is good. Also, Becky, I presume that you probably have access to, or have a prostate.
Make sure that when you’re masturbating, you play with your prostate. I already told everybody, I want to make sure that everybody who tunes in really internalizes. If you touch your prostate, especially from the outside of your body, if you stick your finger behind your testicles and you press up and wiggle around, you can increase the volume of your ejaculate because that’s what the prostate does.
But if you do that and you immediately start to orgasm or ejaculate, go to a doctor. If it hurts, go to the doctor. If it is swollen, go to the doctor because all of those are very, very bad.
(44:39 – 47:13)
Okay, so I’m looking out for you. I’m on your side here. Addie said, one thing that I find interesting is that even though I have a very good imagination, I have a really hard time visualizing organs inside the body.
They’re either floating around or just all shoved in a body like a messy bag. It just feels wrong. Here’s some friends who are in a whole bunch of different fields, including surgeons, and they’re like, yes, so if you have surgery, and for some reason, all of your insides have to come out so they can reach a part of you.
The way that your intestines are coiled, there’s a very specific way that they’re coiled inside your body so everything fits, right? So if they have to take that out, they can’t put it back the right way. But it’s fine. They literally do just stuff it back in because all of the muscles in those organs, all those smooth muscles I was just talking about, as your body undergoes peristalsis, and as food moves through you, all those muscles are moving.
And so if you ever have surgery, and they have to move things around, they do not put things back where they belong. Because eventually, they just kind of wiggle their way around inside of you until they are where they belong. And a friend who had major surgery and described it afterwards, they were like, it’s incredibly disconcerting.
You can feel your organs move around inside. And I was like, oh, thank you for sharing with me this wonderful piece of body horror. It’s the worst thing I’ve ever heard in my life.
And he said horrified, all capital letters. With the scary face, the scream face. Four of them in a row.
Don’t touch my organs. I know, right? This is terrible. Nobody wanted to know that.
And yet now you know that. You’re welcome. I’m a giver.
(47:20 – 49:32)
Okay, according to one study, married women who masturbate reported that they have more orgasms. I mean, fucking duh, they’re masturbating. Higher self esteem, increased sexual desire and libido and greater satisfaction with their marriage and sex life.
Turns out orgasms fix things. It’s also possible a lot of people who happen to have a uterus, should they become pregnant, will often report a vastly increased libido. Bitches be horny.
Bitches be horny. It happens. That’s good.
Gnarly Habits has joined us in the show tonight. Hi, Gnarly. Oh, the weird Batman with a mustache.
Bruce, shave yourself. Cut. A little decorum.
Okay, so there are a bunch of myths about masturbation. Things that people over the ages have thought masturbation would cause vision loss, hairy palms, mental illness, shrinkage or might curve your dick, decreased sperm count, erectile dysfunction, lowered libido and infertility. Okay, so masturbation can increase your fertility.
It can increase your libido. It can help combat erectile dysfunction. It does not lead to a decreased sperm count at all.
It does not cause mental illness. You will not get hairy palms. You will not go blind or deaf.
It cannot make your dick shrink or curve. Those are all things that masturbation does not do to you or for you. And he’s like, how is that research done? Because if it’s just general numbers, of course, people who masturbate more have more orgasms, you know, right? Shocker.
(49:33 – 49:51)
It’s also because Bucky’s and my hairy palms are completely unrelated then. Yeah, that’s something completely different. You’ve been misusing that testosterone cream, haven’t you? This is why you’re supposed to wear gloves when you put the androgel on.
(49:53 – 50:24)
Just saying. You’re making use of the hair loss treatment completely wrong. Oh, Jesus, that scared the shit out of me.
There was thunder. I was just about to say, oh, hey, I just saw a big lightning strike. I’ve got the curtains drawn and everything, but that was very, very bright because it was very, very close.
(50:24 – 50:51)
And very, very loud. Holy hell. Okay.
Well, that was scary. Goodness. I watered the grass today.
(50:52 – 52:54)
So, of course, now it’s going to thunder. Okay. Sometimes people will feel very, very guilty or ashamed about masturbating.
It is my firm stance that you should not feel guilty or ashamed about masturbation, about touching yourself, about enjoying the way that your body feels. Because you haven’t done anything to feel guilty about and you haven’t done anything that you should be ashamed of. Because fucking duh.
You’re not hurting anybody. You’re not hurting yourself. You’re not hurting anyone else.
It’s just pleasure. You deserve pleasure. And I’m pretty okay with that standing as just a statement.
You deserve pleasure. So, sex addiction and masturbation. Pleasure in and of itself is not addictive.
Masturbation and sex in and of itself is not addictive. Like we can measure the probability of something being addictive. So, we know that heroin, very addictive.
Right? Vaping, actually physically addictive. Smoking, nicotine, very addictive. That when you don’t get the thing, your body feels bad.
Caffeine even is addictive. If you don’t get it, you feel bad. Pleasure, sex, masturbation is psychologically addictive.
(52:56 – 54:06)
In the same way that a person can be said to be addicted to food. You need food to live. Do you know how bad you have to have it to be actually called addicted to food? You can’t be addicted to a thing that you require.
And Mad Max, Fury Road, Immortan Joe gives water to people and tells them not to become addicted to it because they will resent it when it’s gone. If you don’t get water in three days, you die. Water is required for life.
Food is required for life. One could argue that pleasure is not necessarily required for life, but I’m not a fucking Puritan. So, I’m not going to argue that.
I’m not going to say that, well, you don’t really need pleasure. Bullshit. Yes, you do.
We all do. And we all deserve pleasure too. You need pleasure.
(54:06 – 58:01)
You deserve pleasure. The point at which it becomes an addiction is when it starts to interfere with your ability to live your life and do the normal things of an adult human being. If you are so busy masturbating and you can’t make yourself stop, like you can’t stop, you’re incapable of stopping, there’s a problem.
There’s some ADHD meds that apparently have a side effect of vastly increased libido and obsessive behaviors. And that set of side effects can combine to so unrelentingly horny and incapable of stopping yourself that you really do just masturbate. That’s a bad side effect.
And as soon as you stop taking that medication, the side effect goes away. There are also people who become psychologically dependent on masturbation. Addie says, a while back, I thought I was addicted to porn and masturbation, and it turns out my brain just likes avoiding doing stuff.
And that was the best distraction at that moment. Yep. That happens.
If your love of jerking off is so extreme that you spend money on porn, on sex workers, on phone sex, to the point that you can’t pay your bills. Okay, you have a problem. If you indulge in masturbation so often that you just call in sick to work and you never go to work because you’re busy playing with yourself.
All right. Yep. Yep.
That’s a problem. If you can’t go on a date and meet new people because you were at home masturbating instead. A little bit more questionable because going on a date isn’t like… People are very anti-social nowadays, so I could see an argument for it.
But also, dude, get out of your house. Buggy said, thoughts on males losing the ability to become erect with their partner due to overindulging in masturbation. Some dudes are just like that.
Solo sex can be better than partnered sex. And if that is the case, sometimes guys will masturbate instead of partnered sex because it’s better. For that, I would say have a good long conversation with your partner and work on learning how to have better sex with your partner so that you can cut back on some of the masturbation.
Maybe it’s because you just don’t know how to make your partner have an orgasm. Ask your partner to show you how to make them have an orgasm. Show your partner how to make you have an orgasm.
Or there could be some other sexual incompatibility that’s happening there that’s making you avoid partnered sex. An easy way to avoid partnered sex is to masturbate ahead of time so that when your partner’s like, hey, I want to have sex, you’re like, I’m sorry, my dick’s broken. Which is, quite frankly, the coward’s way out.
(58:03 – 59:48)
Your dick’s broken? Your dick isn’t broken. Your dick is tired because you masturbated too much. Like there’s something else deeper going on there.
Sleepy dick. You got whiskey dick? That also happens. You drink too much, your dick don’t work.
There’s a lot of reasons why your penis may stop working with a partner. The fix for that is to talk with your partner. That’s more thunder.
Thank goodness it was further away though. Lord, I’m impressed I didn’t lose power. Oh, also, if you’re so stressed out that you can’t get it up and you cannot masturbate, the first thing to do is to reduce the amount of stress.
Try guided masturbation or guided erotic masturbation. I happen to be good at those. So give me a call.
