Is long-term masturbation harmful to women's health?

With the opening up of ideas and the development of medicine, the universality of male masturbation has gradually been accepted by people. But in fact, a survey in the United States found that the proportion of men and women who have masturbation experience is over 90%. American psychologist and sexologist Hite said in her book "Hite Sex Report": "Masturbation for women is as normal as that for men."

Due to physiological limitations, only 20% of women can reach orgasm during natural sexual intercourse, but 94% of women can reach orgasm through masturbation. Therefore, masturbation can be the most effective means for women to obtain sexual release and relieve sexual needs.

As one netizen said in a message on the American Female Masturbators website: Masturbation has become a part of my daily life. Even when having regular sex with your husband, masturbation will still occur.

Occasional masturbation by healthy women is a completely normal physiological phenomenon. It will not harm physical health or affect sexual function and fertility after marriage.

Scientific understanding has reached a consensus: just like male masturbation, female masturbation is also a physiological phenomenon with the nature of self-entertainment. Therefore, female masturbation is a normal physiological phenomenon and cannot be regarded as an abnormal sexual behavior that is harmful to the body. There is no need to blame yourself or feel guilty for doing it occasionally.

For young girls, if they do not have the habit of masturbation, it is recommended not to start out of curiosity. Girls who already have the habit of masturbation should not masturbate too frequently. Safety is particularly important when masturbating.

However, if women really want to make masturbation the "happy spice" of life, they still need to pay more attention. Gynecologists in the United States often encounter cases where women are injured or contract diseases due to masturbation. Experts advise female friends: be sure to protect yourself when masturbating.

Choose a quiet and private environment

First of all, the environment and atmosphere of masturbation is very important. For example, choose a quiet, private place that is not easily disturbed or seen by others. This can not only increase the degree of perception of pleasure, but also avoid leaving psychological trauma on those nervous and conservative women who have ethical concerns about masturbation. In addition, just like having sex, women can also help reach orgasm and arouse sexual excitement by reading some romantic novels or adult movies while masturbating.

Secondly, because women's physiological structure is more special than men's, they must adopt a hygienic and safe method when masturbating. The famous American "Sexual Health" website aims to promote healthy sex life. The website expert Abby believes that only by keeping clean can the risk of contracting disease be minimized. Therefore, no matter what method you use to masturbate, it is important to keep your hands and genitals clean. For women who are accustomed to masturbating through underwear, the hygiene of underwear is also very important. It is best to change into clean underwear after taking a shower.

Don't forget to take off your ring before masturbating

In addition to washing your hands, don't forget to remove rings and other jewelry beforehand. In addition, don't let your nails be too long. It's best to cut them short and trim them to avoid scratching the vagina. Because the vagina is a very delicate body tissue, the mucous membrane is easily injured and easily infected by bacteria.

You must also be careful about the hangnails on your hands and nails, because during masturbation, the hangnails are likely to scratch the vaginal wall, and the pain may last for several days.

Some people have more unusual habits and like to insert some kind of instrument into the vagina to masturbate. In this case, be sure to keep the instrument clean and preferably cover it with a condom, which not only acts as a sanitary barrier but also has a lubricating effect. Also, avoid choosing foreign objects that have sharp edges, are fragile, or can be easily left in the vagina.

It should be noted that women who have the habit of masturbation should not be ashamed to seek medical attention when they find signs of gynecological diseases. Don't be afraid or blame yourself just because you have a history of masturbation, which will delay the opportunity to discover the real cause of the disease.
