So
far we have dealt with the 'who' and the 'how' but now we turn
to the 'why'. Why do girls masturbate? The simple answer, which
is good enough for many, is that it is pleasurable, but that excludes
many of the recognised and claimed benefits. Below is a short
list of the more significant of these:
1.
Its pleasurable - it had to be number one!
2.
It helps you relax - safer than tranquillisers, cheaper than alcohol
and no side effects
3.
It helps you get to sleep if you are suffering from insomnia
4.
It can make you feel 'energised' and focused, making study or
concentration related tasks easier
5.
It gives a degree of relief from the physical discomforts many
feel during periods
6.
It allows you to find out what you like so that you can share
your needs with a partner and have better sex
7.
It is always available when sexual tensions need releasing - not
always true of partner sex
8.
It allows you to have as much gratification as you want, when
you want it and at your speed - partner sex cannot compete
9.
It takes the pressure off your partner as he/she is not the only
source of your orgasms
10.
It is the one form of sex with no risk of disease, pregnancy or
emotional upset
11.
It fits in with your life - unlike partner sex
12.
It often results in more powerful and longer orgasms than other
forms of sex.
13.
It allows you to fantasise and act as you want - please yourself
not your partner
14.
No partner/audience (usually) means you can be less inhibited
in your use of toys and any other item you may personally find
erotic
15.
You can do it at your pace and can spread it out as long as you
want. Longer periods of pre-orgasmic arousal can often result
in better and more satisfying orgasms.
16.
It saves time when you need an orgasm - no need to find a partner
- and less risk of getting involved with a jerk just because you
are desperate.
17.
It's free!
18.
Masturbation to the point of orgasm appears to put less strain
on the heart as measured by an increase in heart rate than does
partner activity that results in orgasm.
We're sure there are more but the above proves the point - if
