For the latest blog post, lets talk about something that we all yearn for in this hobby….Sexual Gratification or Release…The Happy Ending.

Before we dive into the benefits of the Happy Ending, let Mongo take you on a history lesson. 

The first written reference of masturbation comes from the Sumerians. According to the legend, the Tigris River was created when the god Enki masturbated and his purported seminal fluid filled the river bed. The Sumerians were strong supporters of masturbation, be it solo or with a partner.
I guess we have more in common with ancient civilizations than we imagine. However, masturbation continues to be a common practice these days, although we don’t aim to fill large rivers with our seed.  Whatever we do it for, there is scientific documentation that there is a health benefit to our fun.  Here are 4 facts:
1. Masturbation helps reduce the risk of prostate cancer. Simply put, disease-causing toxins build up in the urogenital tract but these toxins can be easily released by ejaculating. It’s literally like sweeping a chimney. An Australian study even found that men who ejaculated more than five times a week were a third less likely to develop prostate cancer according to Menshealth magazine.
2. Masturbation or regular sex prevents erectile dysfunctions, by working the pelvic floor muscles. Up to 30 million American men are affected by erectile dysfunction, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases. A man’s pelvic floor muscles support the bladder and bowel functions.  It is vital to maintain these muscles to prevent erectile dysfunction and help with sexual function. So, sex leads to even better sex.
3. Self-loving reduces stress levels, boosting your mood. The Stress Management Society defines stress as: “a situation where demands on a person exceed that person’s resources or ability to cope”. What masturbating does is that it releases feel-good neurochemicals like dopamine and oxytocin that lift the spirits and boost the satisfaction. Once you get past the excuse of being too stressed out to actually have sex, you discover it’s the cure you needed all along! Isn’t that a bit paradoxical?
4. Masturbation boosts your immunity, by increasing the number of leukocytes in your blood. A study showed that those cells were present in a higher number in the blood of men who had just ejaculated. Also, frequent rubs & tugs increase the levels of cortisol, a hormone that helps regulate and maintain your immunity in small doses.
And lastly, a BONUS benefit.  Now that we’ve talked about your health benefits, there is one more point that links masturbation to a healthier relationship. Convince your partner to participate in a “masturbation session”. Whether you masturbate each other or in front of each other the activity leads to a better knowledge of your bodies’ reactions and have the potential to strengthen your couple’s intimacy. Even so, some specialists insist on the fact that sex is even healthier than masturbation. No matter what kind of sexual activity you decide upon, it will surely bring you a wonderful time.

Hope I didn’t bore you with the science lesson.  In short, Monger on and Enjoy that Happy Ending.  Its Healthy for you.
