4 Reasons Women Should Consider Masturbation

Now I know this may sound crazy coming from a woman who very openly discusses her Christianity but before you rebuke me and send me straight the depths of hell,  let me explain why I encourage masturbation. Masturbating by definition is the stimulation or manipulation of one’s own genitals, especially to orgasm; sexual self-gratification. It can help a woman learn what she finds pleasurable in regards to touch. Numerous factors like speed, pressure and position are discoverable through masturbation. It can also help a woman learn to relax into the process of being pleasured by another party is involved. Knowing what you enjoy and feeling comfortable with your own body and how it responds can help increase the pleasure/value of your sexual encounters.

Masturbation can either be done manually (by hand) or with the assistance of a vibrator. You can do It alone or with the assistance of your partner. It can also be used to educate your partner in a hands on way how to please you. Masturbation is good for the health of the vagina and personal sexual education. It is not and should not be used as a permanent substitute or an avenue to avoid sexual intimacy.

Now that we’ve talked about the fun stuff, here the most important reasons to masturbate.

  1. Masturbation helps maintain the competency of the vagina. #‎vaginatips

  2. Orgasms associated with masturbation can help increase pelvic floor muscle strength. ‪#‎vaginatips

  3. Regular vaginal or clitoral stimulation naturally encourages the vagina to lengthen(occurs with arousal) and to lubricate itself protecting the tissue ‪#‎Vaginatips

  4. As a woman ages and approaches menopause the change in hormones can lead to dryness, pain and other issues with intercourse. Masturbation regularly can help delay these affects  ‪#‎vaginatips‬

One thing I tell every woman I know, the vagina is use or loose. That said there is no time like the present.  So how do you get started? Well create a mood for yourself. Here a some things I recommend

  • Start with a nice soothing bath or shower

  • Your favorite mood music

  • Water based lube

  • A rechargeable vibrator(if you are planning to use a toy)

  • A quiet private space so you have plenty of time and can relax

  • Find a comfortable position to lay in and find your groove

As with any new adventure I recommend you consult your physician if you have any special circumstances.  If you have had an episiotomy in the past it may be a bit harder if you suffered Abby nerve damage which can be common.  Don’t get frustrated just give yourself a little bit more time.
