Masturbating can help with menstrual complaints. According to sexologist Eveline Stallaart, it works really well. “In addition to reducing stress, masturbation also has a pain-relieving effect. Endorphins are released, which takes away the pain. All pain by the way, not just menstrual cramps.”
There is another great advantage to a little sexy time with yourself. Your period could also come faster. “Medicians are divided on this subject, but during an orgasm your uterine wall contracts. This can ensure that blood and mucus are removed more quickly.” And of course you don’t have to find this ‘dirty’: your own blood belongs to you.”
Several studies have shown that masturbation works. As many as 70 percent of participants claimed that regular ‘menstrual’ – masturbating during menstruation – would help with pain. A gynecologist explains this even further: “First of all, because the excitement distracts you from the pain. But also because after an orgasm extra blood flows to the genital area, the clitoris and other organs.”
Solo sex is also very healthy for your relationship, Stallaart explains. “If you masturbate a few times a month, the sexual pilot light remains on and you are more receptive to your partner’s stimuli.”
