Men’s Health Month: How Masturbation Supports Male Wellbeing
June marks Men’s Health Month, an important time to shine a light on the unique health challenges men face - physically, mentally, and emotionally. While it’s often overlooked or treated as taboo, one simple act plays a surprisingly powerful role in supporting men’s overall wellness: masturbation. This blog will explore how regular, healthy male masturbation can positively impact different areas of health and wellbeing, and share our top product recommendations to help you get the most out of your solo sessions.
5 Surprising Health Benefits of Male Masturbation
1. Supports Prostate Health
Regular ejaculation is believed to help flush out toxins from the prostate and reduce the risk of prostate-related issues. Some studies even suggest that frequent ejaculation—through masturbation or sex - may help lower the risk of developing prostate cancer over time.
2. Improves Sleep
Masturbation helps release a rush of feel-good hormones like dopamine and oxytocin, along with a drop in cortisol (the stress hormone). This combination helps relax the body and mind, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.
3. Boosts Mood and Reduces Stress
Solo play is a natural mood enhancer. It can help manage anxiety and depression by releasing endorphins and promoting feelings of relaxation and pleasure. It’s a safe, accessible way to relieve daily stress and reconnect with your body.
4. Enhances Sexual Function
Masturbation helps men learn more about their own pleasure points, stamina, and triggers - knowledge that can improve sexual confidence and performance. It’s also helpful for managing concerns like premature ejaculation or erectile dysfunction in a low-pressure environment.
5. Promotes Cardiovascular Health
While not a replacement for cardio, the act of masturbation does get your heart rate up and contributes to physical movement. Plus, the relaxation effect it brings can indirectly help lower blood pressure and support overall heart health.
A Quick Word of Caution
Like most things, masturbation is best enjoyed in moderation. While it has many health benefits, excessive or compulsive habits can negatively impact relationships, productivity, or mental wellbeing. If you feel like your masturbation habits are interfering with your daily life, support is available. In the UK, you can explore resources and counselling through:
● Relate – Relationship and sexual therapy support
It’s always okay to ask for help.
