Now however, we know different: masturbation has much less stigma attached to it, and through sex education, we now know that <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">not only is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/health-benefits-masturbation\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">masturbation normal, it\u2019s actually healthy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for you<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And while sex educators continue breaking down the stigma around self-pleasure, there are still many who were given no instruction about why &#8211; or even how &#8211; \u00a0we masturbate. In order to lend a hand (pun not intended) to the matter, we decided to try our hand (pun fully intended) at explaining male masturbation and clearing up some misconceptions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Why Do Men Masturbate?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many young men discover self-pleasure before they are even able to articulate what they\u2019re doing and why, supported by widespread but erroneous characterizations of men as sex-obsessed auto-erotic automatons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So what\u2019s the purpose of masturbation? It must serve some purpose, because we\u2019re not the only creatures to do it. Most mammals masturbate in one way or another: for bonobos masturbation is social. For a dog to grind on a pillow is a form of masturbation; the dog knows the pillow is not another dog. In all of us is the biological compulsion to share our DNA. The purpose of masturbation is not only responding to the urge to procreate, but also to familiarize ourselves with our own reproductive processes. That\u2019s the biological purpose, but that\u2019s slightly different from the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reasons<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for masturbation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We could describe the reason for masturbating as simply for the enjoyment of sensual touch and climax. That alone is a as good a reason to masturbate as any, but there are several other reasons why male masturbation is such a good thing:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Masturbating can help you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/premature-ejaculation-womans-view\/\">avoid premature ejaculation<\/a>.<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> By learning your body\u2019s responses and cues during solo play, it can help you become more aware of them (and thus able to exert control over them) during partnered play.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>You can reduce the chances of developing prostate cancer.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> There are a number of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/why-anal-and-prostate-play-is-worth-exploring\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reasons to massage your prostate<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ways to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/prostates-pegging-plugs-3-parts-male-pleasure\/\">pleasure your prostate<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but good prostate health might be the best benefit of them all. Masturbating releases seminal fluid from the prostate, effectively flushing it out. Having stagnant semen build up in your prostate can, if left unchecked, lead to genital pain, symptoms of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/erectile-dysfunction-what-to-do-and-not-do-if-youre-experiencing-it\/\">erectile dysfunction<\/a>, frequent nighttime urination and possibly prostate cancer.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Masturbation is a healthy and effective substitute for sleeping aids if you suffer from insomnia.<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Masturbation is an easy (and enjoyable) way to decrease stress or tension<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Both sexes rely on pornography in order to stimulate their brains and become aroused, but whether that entails watching porn or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/erotic-fantasies\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reading erotica<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it\u2019s important to contextualize fantasy-fulfillment as simply that: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/hes-really-thinking-top-male-sex-fantasies-uncovered\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">indulging in a fantasy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the images or stories that arouse us do so because they represent a taboo, and may or may not indicate a fetish that the person actually wants to act out. Basically, you\u2019re not defined by what you masturbate to. Enjoy yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Male Masturbation in a Nutshell<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Male masturbation usually involves gripping one\u2019s penis in the dominant hand and exerting comfortable pressure in a swift up and down motion. This is the typical way, but not the only way. There are a number of ways to masturbate that can be experimented with.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Experiment with different speeds and pressures &#8212; and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/can-you-masturbate-too-hard\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">avoid the \u2018death grip\u2019 method of masturbating<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8212; by shifting the hold of your fingers, or using your non-dominant hand. It may require some conscious effort compared to your usual masturbating method, but having more than one way to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/orgasms-101-understanding-climax\/\">climax<\/a> on your own is a good repertoire to develop.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While masturbating, use your other hand to caress your body: abdomen, inner thighs, neck, shoulders \u2026 while not strictly leading to orgasm, thrilling secondary erogenous zones can help you focus on the pleasure of the act.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Train yourself to prolong pleasure and manage your ejaculation, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/edging-what-is-it-and-how-can-i-do-it\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">try stopping right before you orgasm in order to practice \u2018edging\u2019<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
