September 4 is World Sexual Health Awareness Day so with that, we ask the question: Is masturbation considered sexual health?

Some of the more common benefits of masturbation include that it helps in relaxation and promotes better sleep however, it can also reduce stress, improve self-esteem and body image. But these are just some of the possible ways it makes you feel good!

For many people, masturbating alleviates feelings associated with low moods or anxiety but for others who experience negative emotions, like guilt when they do so, then this can have an effect on their well-being over time.

However, there's not enough research looking into how different types of personalities affect patterns within masturbation habits which means more studies need to be conducted before we know whether sex addiction really exists as an illness, or if all addictions work similarly upon our brains.

Further to the above, other reasons people masturbate include:

It can release sexual tension and let people explore their sexuality by themselves.
It’s a form of sexual activity that’s available to people regardless if they have a partner or not, including those who are abstaining from sex with partners or other types of relationships.
People become familiar with their own bodies sexually which helps them communicate better in the bedroom especially when paired up with someone else!

Is Too Much Masturbation Bad For You?

You may have heard that masturbating is bad for you, but nothing could be further from the truth. Exploring your sexuality and discovering new sex toys can lead to improved mental and physical health with your partner or even on your own. Check out the range of vibrators and dildos we have for sale online - it's pretty much as good as it gets!

When you have an orgasm, your body releases endorphins, which are hormones that block pain and make you feel good. The good feelings that come with an orgasm happen whether you’re masturbating or having sex. Using sex toys like dildos or vibrators can enhance this experience.

Touching yourself can teach you what feels good, and help you discover your own body. It's easier to have orgasms with a partner after masturbating on your own because it allows for open communication about sex, the body, and protection against STDs or unwanted pregnancy. However, too much masturbation has its downsides - such as we should not let our self-pleasure get out of hand in terms of frequency!

Masturbation Is Healthy

Masturbation is a healthy, natural way to explore your body and enjoy the sexual release. People masturbate at all different frequencies — some people do it every day or more than once per day while others only do it closer to weekly, maybe even monthly! Some never masturbate at all which isn't any less normal of an occurrence either.

All are completely acceptable ways of enjoying masturbation so long as the frequency doesn’t interfere with other aspects such as your work-life/responsibilities or social activities. If this does happen however then you may want to consider talking things over with a counsellor or therapist who can help guide you through these issues because excessive urges that affect one's entire being could be indicative of deeper problems

Final Thoughts

It is completely normal to masturbate. There's nothing wrong with it! If you feel guilty about doing so, remember that most people do this and there isn't anything inherently bad or unhealthy about the act itself. A counsellor may be able to help if your guilt gets in the way of enjoying yourself fully - so make sure you don't miss out on a good thing by not letting any old fashioned shame get between you and your orgasms!!
