A Positive, Honest Word About Masturbation

Ever since Adam “knew” Eve, people have been sexually active. This is one of the most basic drives known to man – the sex drive. Yet, after 5,000 years since the very first family walked the earth, people, especially here in western civilizations, still view sex in a negative light. When it comes to self-pleasuring it rings especially true.

For eons people have been told what to do in their bedrooms. If you are homosexual then you were told you were a sinner and bound for Hell. This is not true because God forgives people and homosexuality is not a sin. Homosexuals were created that way or otherwise they would not be attracted to members of their same sex.

If you were having sex outside of wedlock or extra-marital affair(s) then you were looked down on by society because nobody likes a cheater.

All of these bedroom activities although they are not accepted by mainstream society even in the 21st century, still when it comes to that one most precious way of making love it is such a taboo subject that Joceyln Elders, former President Bill Clinton’s Secretary of Health and Human Services actually got fired from her job just for suggesting that schools study it. As you have guessed it folks. I’m talking about the “M” word: Masturbation.

This author has seen first hand just in his own family (he’s not mentioning any names) refuse to even talk about masturbation. It is still taboo in society today when there is nothing at all shameful about the act.

In about one hundred percent of the time anytime masturbation is brought up in a negative light where people scowl over the term/act religion always plays the number one role in these old-fashioned close-minded attitudes.

When the author says “religion” he is not talking about Christianity in its purest sense. Faith in Jesus is the most awesome thing in the world and should be cherished by all believers. But religion is simply a set of man-made rules that was devised by a “board” of people who decide what the adherents to the church are allowed to do. Of course, when it comes to sex its always preached as “dirty” and “will send you to hell”. This is always the case, of course, with certain exceptions, like when the dear cult leader decides to procreate with the pubescent girl and make the teenagers practically worship him and his great sexual prowess.

Unfortunately, these religious groups which started as cults have infiltrated Christian society and have, as already pointed out, turned bona fide Christians into people who don’t like sex and masturbation is way out of the question.

In case anybody is wondering, millions of people per year, not exaggerating, masturbate. Pastors have masturbate. Missionaries masturbate, and just about everybody else. I began masturbating when puberty arrived at the age of twelve. Everybody has touched themselves “down there” at one time or the other just to see what it feels like when they began having feelings for the same or opposite sex. It is not dirty. Just natural to do.

Some vital statistics that will probably shock a lot of people are the following. Masturbation, if not intercourse alone in men reduces by 40% their chances of acquiring prostate cancer. In both men and women it improves blood flow, increases longevity of life, increases libido and virility and helps a man or woman feel younger.  Masturbation is a powerful antidote to restlessness and anxiety as when the masturbator does his act a great amount of stress is relieved along with lots of hormones are released like Dopamine in the brain. This promotes an overall feeling of euphoria like nothing else can do. Your brain becomes awash with hormones and good feelings and if someone masturbates right before bed then it is practically a sure thing that he or she will probably get a restful night’s sleep. Nothing is for sure but the likelihood increases tremendously.

So, if an activity exists that will make a person live longer, feel better, improve their overall well-being then why should someone not engage in this particular activity? Well, once again it goes against many religious people’s mores to do this act. This is unfortunate but we will always have people among us who will never accept that it’s not little, old, fat, dirty, smelly girls that masturbate. That attitude was never a true description. This author can guarantee anybody that there are many beautiful people that own vibrators, dildos and other sex toys. Just many myths and misconceptions that this author will try to bust for as long as he keeps writing in this blog and website. He will keep posting articles refuting negative claims about masturbation and how perhaps some would claim it is bad for your health. This author is making it his mission to bring awareness to the world about the safety of sex toys and the pleasure one gets out of them by masturbating with toys.

We have a long way to go until American society will be fully open to masturbation. But, I’m convinced in my lifetime it will happen.
