It's official! Masturbate as much (or as little) as you want. ladbible.com/news/health/docto… A doctor has provided her expert opinion on how regularly people should masturbate.
Even though this X-rated past time happens to be the most natural thing in the world for humankind, there still remains a sense of taboo around masturbation in some pockets of society.
In a video posted on her YouTube channel earlier this year, Dr. Jen Claude weighed in on the question of how much me-time is too much me-time, and her answer might surprise a few people.
## How often should you masturbate?
"Well, I've got some perhaps good news for you," she began. "Before I give you the answer let me remind you that masturbation is perfectly fine, okay? Masturbation actually can be a very healthy part of overall life and fulfilment, so I don't want you to think that masturbation is not okay."
Dr. Claude went on to state that the 'truth of the matter is: masturbate as much as you want', because there's 'no hard and fast answer' - pun probably not intended.
"There's not a top limit threshold. It's nothing like 'oh you can't masturbate more than this amount of times,' there's not a lower threshold, there's not a number of times in a day, a week, a month," she continued.
"Certain people masturbate multiple times a day, some people masturbate only certain times every few months depending on whatever. Some people masturbate when they're in a certain mood, some people masturbate at other times, it just depends."
She did warn that it's paramount not to let masturbation interfere with the rest of your life, though.
"The only caveat is you can masturbate as much as you want so long as it doesn't interfere with your daily life; it doesn't interfere with your mental wellbeing, it does not interfere with your relationships; interfere with your ability to go to your job or lead a happy, healthy, productive.
"In certain situations you can see how masturbation becomes compulsive, in which case we say that you need to be evaluated, you need to discuss this with a licensed professional, okay?"
## Benefits of masturbation
Masturbating in the morning can be an energy boost, didn't you know?
Dr. Sham Singh of The Handy previously revealed: "There isn't a certain time of day that’s better than any other, so it’s better for people to find their 'ideal' time that suits them.”
But it turns out that there are benefits to masturbating at certain times in the day, depending on what you're looking to achieve.
“For example, some might find it easier to sleep after masturbation at night because of the hormones released, which can help bring on relaxation. Others might prefer to do it in the morning because they find it energising," he added.
As for how this act of self-care improves sleep and relieves stress, the doctor explained: When it comes to physical aspects, it can relieve muscle tension, help to improve the state of sleep, and even relieve premenstrual tension caused by menstruation.
“It may also be understood as a minor psychological and stress-relieving exercise. Exploring one's body and preferences can also enable better communication and satisfaction in sexual relationships,” he mentioned as a mental health bonus. "Looking into the science of it, masturbating can stimulate the release of endorphins and other happy neurotransmitters that may include dopamine and oxytocin, thus increasing mood and reducing anxiety.”
Masturbation also aids in the relief of menstrual pain for women.
"The contractions of the uterus as a result of an orgasm are then followed by relaxation, which can relieve cramping," Dr. Singh noted.
## What happens when you stop masturbating?
According to an anonymous sex writer, there's so many ways that lack of masturbation can affect you and those around you.
Mood swings for one. "Masturbation withdrawal may sound far-fetched, but masturbation releases a delicious cocktail of feel-good chemicals and hormones and whatnots, so it seemed reasonable to me that my body was all like, 'Hey where'd that awesome stuff go?'" she wrote.
There's an extended period of untamed arousal too.
"The build-up to satisfaction went from minutes to days, sometimes a week," she revealed of her own experiences. "Orgasm became an event to be longed for and fantasised about instead of another item to check off my to-do list like dry-cleaning.
"Now when I found myself unexpectedly in the mood, my thoughts turned to 'Won't it be nice when my boyfriend gets home...' instead of 'Where the hell did I put that Hitachi Magic wand?'"
Pestering of your partner is certainly a side effect you want to avoid, as this'll really start to grate on them.
The writer said that she ended up 'getting a little desperate' after a while and joked that despite her other half being mostly happy to comply... [truncated]

Il leur faut quoi ? Les incendies, rien à battre, les inondations rien à battre, les ouragans rien à battre, la sécheresse rien à battre...
Alors certes, le capitalisme en tant que système se nourrit des catastrophes et n'est pas en danger, mais même chez les capitalos, certains ont beaucoup à perdre à titre individuel.
Et ? Et rien... On ferme les yeux, en se disant que ça va passer ou qu'il n'y a rien à faire de toute façon.
@pascale Je n'en suis plus sûr, j'ai entendu Pannier Runacher dire que c'est bon, ils avaient la situation en main et qu'ils allaient anticiper les coûts en faisant grimper les primes d'assurances...
Les assurances vont se gaver grâce aux catastrophes climatiques.
@adarr_volte ça j'en doute fort, surtout les mutuelles. Ce qui est plus que probable, c'est qu'ils vont refuser d'assurer certains biens. Peut-être que sous cette contrainte, les maires finiront par arrêter de bétonner les côtes et les zones inondables (comme quoi, il m'arrive encore parfois d'être optimiste).
@pascale j'étais assez étonné, mais apparemment c'est ce qui ressort des derniers échanges. Et après réflexion, ça ne m'étonne pas car je crois que la culture de l'actuariat n'est pas du tout la même en France et aux US où c'est effectivement la cata.
@adarr_volte l'impossibilité de trouver un assureur serait également un outil puissant pour mettre un terme aux projets de mégabassines. Malheureusement, Groupama accepte encore d'assurer ces saloperies.

Im Hintergrund ist ein atemberaubender Sonnenuntergang zu sehen, der von einem tiefen Blau zu einem warmen Orange übergeht. Die Wolken sind dünn und verstreut, und die Silhouette der Landschaft ist dunkel und undeutlich. Die Regentropfen auf dem Fenster verleihen der Szene eine ruhige und melancholische Atmosphäre.

Der Himmel ist von schweren, dunklen Wolken bedeckt, die sich über die gesamte Breite des Bildes erstrecken und eine bedrohliche Atmosphäre schaffen. Die Wolken sind in verschiedenen Schattierungen von Grau und Schwarz, was auf eine bevorstehende Gewitterfront hinweist.
Im Vordergrund ist ein Feld mit trockenem Gras und vereinzelten Büschen zu sehen. Ein Haus mit einem dunklen Dach und ein weiteres Gebäude sind in der Nähe des Feldes sichtbar. Beide Strukturen sind von den Wolken im Hintergrund abgesetzt und wirken klein und verloren.
Einige Lichter sind im Haus und auf dem Feld zu erkennen, was darauf hinweist, dass es noch nicht vollständig dunkel ist. Ein Weg führt durch das Feld, und ein Schild ist am Rand des Weges zu sehen. Die Umgebung wirkt ruhig und still, obwohl die Wolken im Himmel eine unmittelbare Bedrohung suggerieren.
Im Hintergrund sind weitere Lichter sichtbar, die auf eine Stadt oder ein Dorf hinweisen, das sich in der Ferne befindet. Die gesamte Szene ist von einer düsteren Stimmung geprägt, die durch die Wolken und die schwache Beleuchtung verstärkt wird.
