The month of May is known worldwide as Masturbation Month. The perfect excuse for us at LotteLust to once again mention that masturbation is not only incredibly pleasurable and normal, but that there are also a whole lot of benefits to a little me-time!

Get to know your body
Masturbation is a natural and healthy way to satisfy your sexual desires and to get to know your own body. For a satisfying sex life, it is super important that you know your own body. The only way to discover what you like and what feels good is to go on a journey of exploration yourself. Women who know their bodies well can also better explain to their partner what they enjoy between the sheets. Read the book ‘Are You Coming Too?’ for more tips and info about the female orgasm.

Orgasm is healthy
Let’s be real; giving yourself an orgasm is the best gift there is, right? Besides the fact that it feels really good to pamper yourself every now and then, masturbation is also good for your health. Below we discuss three important benefits of masturbation.

1. Stress reduction

One of the biggest benefits of masturbation is that it can help reduce stress. Masturbation causes your endorphin levels to rise, making you feel happier and more relaxed. Moreover, it can also help reduce cortisol, the hormone responsible for stress. So if you're feeling stressed, take some time to masturbate and you'll notice that you feel better.

2. Improved sleep

Another benefit of masturbation is that it can help improve your sleep. Masturbation helps relax both your body and mind, making it easier for you to fall asleep. Additionally, it can also help improve the quality of your sleep, making you feel more rested the next day.

3. Strengthened pelvic floor muscles

Finally, masturbation can also help strengthen your pelvic floor muscles. These muscles are important for healthy bladder and bowel function and can make penetrative sex feel even more intense for you and your partner. When you orgasm, your muscles automatically tense up. By regularly masturbating, you are unconsciously training your pelvic floor muscles, and who doesn't love a mini workout without having to go to the gym?

Happy Masturbation Month!

In short, masturbation can have several important health benefits for young women. So what are you waiting for? Treat yourself in different positions and in different ways. Take the time to enjoy your own body and discover the benefits of masturbation.
