5 Benefits of Self-Pleasure
The best hack for confidence and more.
Masturbation May is right around the corner so it’s only right to dive deep into why we love self-pleasure. Oh and in the wise words of Billie Eilish, “People should be jerking it, man. I can’t stress it enough.”
During COVID-19 isolation, self-pleasure became a widely discussed topic — we know, shocker. For some of us, pleasure was the only reason we didn’t go completely off-grid. But it’s not only beneficial in times of crisis.
Masturbation is a great method for enhancing self confidence, both in and outside of the bedroom. As Eilish shared in a recent interview, her self-love routine has helped manage her body dysmorphia. ”People should be jerking it, man. I can’t stress it enough, as somebody with extreme body issues and dysmorphia that I’ve had my entire life.” She continued, “Partly because it’s hot, but it also makes me have such a raw, deep connection to myself and my body and have a love for my body that I have not really ever had.”
