7 Things Every Woman Should Know About Female Masturbation

For a very long time, female pleasure has been taboo and it continues to be. While male pleasure and masturbation are completely normalised, female pleasure and masturbation are looked down upon. Female masturbation has time and again been stigmatised in our society but the fact remains that it is as normal as eating food and drinking water. While female sexual pleasure has been viewed as something that is not so important, it happens to be just as important as male pleasure. And the fact is that female masturbation is not only awesome but also extremely important for female pleasure. It allows vagina owners to explore their bodies and understand their pleasure points properly in order to enhance sexual pleasure. Plus TBH, masturbation is much better than penetrative sex since it does not come with the risk of STDs or unwanted pregnancy or drama for that matter. And it allows a woman to satisfy her bodily needs and get rid of sexual frustration. Since we’re in 2022, I think it is essential that we not only normalise female pleasure but also get the conversation going around masturbation and its benefits. So, ladies here are things you need to know about female masturbation.

1. Improves Sex Life

Myths claim that solo sex aka masturbation makes it harder for one to climax during sexual intercourse but that’s not actually true. Masturbation allows women to explore their bodies and discover pleasure points which can make sex much more fun. It also makes it easier for their partner to get them to orgasm. Moreover, orgasms release sex hormones and get one in the mood which means that the more you masturbate, the more likely you are to have sex.

2. Eases Menstrual Cramps

Female masturbation can help in easing menstrual cramps as well. Orgasms and self-pleasure release happy hormones like endorphins which can reduce cramps and provide relief.

3. Better Sleep

Masturbation allows one to satisfy their body’s needs and release all the tension and sexual frustration. Plus the happy hormones released during it can improve your sleep. In short, masturbation may be a good way to get a good night’s sleep.

4. Mental Health Benefits

The rush of self-pleasure and orgasm releases feel-good hormones like oxytocin and dopamine. This means that masturbation can put you in a good mood and lower your stress levels, reduce anxiety and act as a distraction to take your mind off things. In other words, it can lighten up your mood and improve your mental health. It’s nothing less than meditation.

5. No Finish Line

Most of us assume that masturbation is all about orgasms but that’s not really the case. While porn may make you think otherwise, the fact is that there is no finish line or end game in masturbation. This is why it is essential to never focus on orgasming when masturbating. Just focus on your pleasure instead of trying to pressurise yourself to orgasm. Especially when it comes to female masturbation and pleasure. We all know that female pleasure takes time to reach climax so, take your time and practice.

6. Experimentation Is Important

Just like sex, solo sex aka masturbation also requires one to experiment especially when it comes to female masturbation. Try using different sex toys or different positions when indulging in self-pleasure.

7. Relationship Status Is Unimportant

Yes, you read that right. Just because you are in a relationship, it doesn’t mean that you cannot or should not indulge in self-pleasure. Apart from the usual sex, solo sex should also be a part of your life and your personal time. Masturbation and sex are two different things and there is absolutely nothing wrong with masturbating when in a relationship or marriage for that matter. Never feel guilty about it because trust me, you’re not cheating on your partner. It’s just a little self-care and self-love, literally.

Time to put your pleasure first, ladies. Happy masturbation!
