The Top 10 Benefits of Masturbation You Need to Know

Eat, sleep, piss, shit, shower, brush your teeth, and exercise. One thing that is left out of most of our health education is a vitally important part of a man’s body: The regular maintenance of relieving your testicles of semen so they can make more. There’s only one way to do that, and chances are you had to learn it on your own. If you have more questions about masturbation’s role as a natural function of your body, the Bator Blog has your back.  Here are The Top 10 Benefits of Masturbation You Need to Know

1. It’s Good for Your Dick

When we’re out in the world all day, our dicks just hang there flaccid, meaning the heart isn’t pumping as much blood down there because it simply doesn’t require it. When you get hard and jerk off, your brain is telling your heart to send more blood to the penis.

Every part of your body needs regular blood flow for regular tissue maintenance. So when you masturbate you’re not just getting off, it’s an essential chore that your body needs you to do to keep your dick and balls working properly.

As a result, masturbating your penis is not only helping you, it’s helping your little buddy stay active and spry—and prevent erectile dysfunction! 

2. Masturbation Is a Great Motivator

Using masturbation as a reward at the end of a long workday or as a treat when you get your household chores done is a great practice of positive reinforcement. If you notice that you’re having trouble completing tasks in your life, but you have no problem clearing your schedule for an epic edge session, then try flipping the script.

Try setting goals and tell yourself that when you get done your reward will be all the hand time your dick desires. This is a skill I learned in college whenever I had those dreaded term papers to write. I told myself once the paper was done, then I would treat myself to some “me time.” Visualizing all the fapping I was going to do the minute I sent that paper off to my professor helped me power through it.

Heck, I remember my dick dancing around in my boxers urging me to get done. It’s a secret trick I use to this day finishing projects. I’m going to jerk off as soon as I turn this article in! 

3. Masturbating Enhances Body Positivity and Self-Esteem in a Natural Way

If you do not feel good about the way your body looks, then I cannot emphasize enough that you need to jerk off more often and reap the benefits of masturbation. The more time you spend connecting with your body, the more content you will become with your body.

Famously, oxytocin is known as the “love hormone.” It’s the neurotransmitter that bonds us to our lovers, friends, family, even our pets. Guess what? Your brain releases oxytocin when you masturbate.

It’s a built-in system your body has to remind you to love yourself. Have you ever had this happen? After you’ve been working on your johnson for a while, you look down at your body or maybe catch your reflection in a mirror or the screen of your monitor and think, “Wow, I’m hot!” That’s the oxytocin doing its job to remind you that you are a sexy beast.  

4. Post-Nut Clarity 

Discussions of post-nut clarity have gone on since time immemorial, and the internet has been abuzz about it for the past decade or so. It’s not something that’s had a lot of extensive research, from what I can find, but we all know what it is.

It’s when right after you cum you experience a period of calmness, and often you might come up with solutions to problems that were giving you a hard time before. This has to do with the pleasure hormones and that after one achieves orgasm, all those hormones suddenly stop being emitted.

Basically, right after you cum is when your body is least concerned about sex, and this clears the mind, allowing us to focus on other, less sexy things. It’s no different than being hungry—or “hangry”—then satiating one’s hunger and then being able to concentrate on other, more important things. I recommend using post-nut clarity to your advantage.

If you’re feeling frustrated, jerk off just so you can reach that zen-like state after you cum and maybe you’ll cum-up with a solution to whatever was bothering you in the first place.

5. You Can Jerk Yourself to Sleep

Who can forget that scene in The 40 Year Old Virgin when Seth Rogen’s character says he takes a sleep aid before he jerks off? Jerking off before bed is like a tiny workout. Your muscles tense up, your heart rate increases, your brain releases neurotransmitters (vasopressin and prolactin help with sleep).

Once you’re done, the muscles relax, your heart rate sloughs off, and the neurotransmitters do their thing to help you drift off.

If you’re having trouble sleeping, I suggest a small dose of melatonin (2mg is plenty), and take that about 1–2 hours before bedtime. Then jerk off however you normally do, and shortly after you cum, get into bed and you should be able to happily fall into a fulfilling night’s sleep. 

6. Masturbating Makes You Feel Younger

I wonder how many of you can relate to this: When I masturbate, I don’t feel my current age. During those moments that I am engrossed in penis energy, I am transported back to being in my teens or early twenties. You may not be able to bench press what you could when you were 20 years old, but you can still stroke your dick just as good, if not better, than you did back then.

Now, get this, masturbation might actually keep you looking younger, too.

There have been some studies that have found that people who look younger than their age masturbate more often than people who look their age or older. This probably has to do with blood flow, stress relief, and better sleep. I would also posit that those of us who have more time to masturbate generally have less time-consuming careers or less stressful lives, which do add years onto the body. 

7. Your Body’s Anxiety and Depression Cure

If you suffer from depression and/or anxiety, then you should jerk off more, it’s one of the most important benefits of masturbation. All of the neurotransmitters emitted during sex and masturbation (dopamine, endorphins, serotonin, oxytocin) happen to also be the ones that regulate your mood. I’ve already discussed jerking off before bed, so let’s talk about jerking off in the morning. If you have anxiety about going to work in the morning, then one thing that can help you get your day started is to do a quick jerk in the morning before you get the day started.

This doesn’t have to be a marathon session, it can be a classic five- or ten-minute one just to get your nut off to release those helpful neurotransmitters, achieve post-nut clarity, and give you a boost to get your day started. The same goes for anything else causing you anxiety. Nervous about going to a social gathering? Make some time to jerk off to calm your nerves before you go.

“When I look back at the times of my life I have been most depressed, oh boy did masturbation help pull me out of some dark thinking.”

Depression is something I have struggled with my whole life, so please do not think that I am making light of it.

That being said, here is an anecdote: A friend of mine in high school had a joke that if it weren’t for masturbation he would have offed himself a long time ago. Of course my friends and I all laughed really hard whenever he said that. I think the reason we laughed so hard was because deep down we all knew exactly what he was talking about.

When I look back at the times of my life I have been most depressed, oh boy did masturbation help pull me out of some dark thinking.

Over the past several years that I have been writing extensively about masturbation, I have come to realize that my enthusiasm for masturbation is my method of self-medicating. There is nothing wrong with that whatsoever.

If you’re feeling bad or anxious, maybe all you need is to sign onto BateWorld and talk to somebody. We’re all here to help each other. But, please, if it gets to the point that nothing is helping, then seek out a mental health professional. There is no problem too big that talking to someone can’t help you overcome. 

8. Masturbating Makes You Better at Sex, As Well As (Get This) Masturbating!

I feel like this one has been written to death, but that’s because it bears repeating: When we masturbate we learn about our bodies’ erogenous zones. What’s awesome is this really never ends. As we get older our tastes evolve and we keep finding new things that we are into. Heck, I like my biceps licked and sucked on. I just found that out like two years ago, and it was because I had the sudden urge to try it while I was camming with someone.

Porn plays a role here too. As we click around on thumbnails without knowing what we are about to see, we are exposed to new and different things the performers are doing that we then decide we want to try out next time we are having sex. 

What’s interesting about the masturbation and sex connection is that masturbating doesn’t necessarily make you want to have less sex. Contrarily, it can actually make you want to have sex more. Equally, having plenty of sex might make you want to masturbate more. Finally, the more you masturbate your sexual endurance gets better, in other words, you can last longer in bed.

If you have a sex partner, then I suggest masturbating a couple hours before you plan to have sex. That way you’re less likely to “jump the gun” so to speak, and your partner will thank you!

9. It’s Free!

10. You Can Help Support the Sex Industry 

Yes, masturbation is free, but every good hobby requires some investment. So invest in your dick. If you read everything above, then you now know that an investment in your dick is an investment in your physical and mental health.

Furthermore, doing things like signing up for BateWorld premium or buying some lube like the fan favorite Bator Balm and toys like the Fleshy Pro (read the Fleshy Pro Review here) helps us keep the lights on so we can keep this awesome community growing.

Additionally, it’s just good practice to subscribe to porn websites. Yeah, there’s tons of free shit out there that’s ripped from those sites. We’re all guilty of that. It’s just ethical to help those hardworking performers and crewmembers behind the scenes by tossing them a bone every once in a while. They’ve tossed you their bones more than a few times, am I right?
