Club Seventeen Masturbate Review

Masturbation is an inherent part of being human, and I think it’s so essential for us all to discuss. While some might find the topic too sensitive or taboo for discussion, it can be so beneficial for women and young girls alike to openly discuss how they feel, what works for them, and what doesn’t. Thank you for being willing to be open about this discussion; hopefully other young women will follow your lead!

Other than being physically therapeutic, masturbation has many other advantages as a mood and pain reliever. When masturbating hormone levels of dopamine and epinephrine increase dramatically and this helps combat depression. Furthermore, masturbation has been said to improve self-esteem and body image as it encourages you to appreciate what your own bodies can provide for you.

But not all people find masturbation satisfying; some experience guilt or shame when engaging in masturbation due to specific negative beliefs they learned as children about masturbation. To alleviate such emotions, consult a therapist specializing in sexual health therapy for guidance.

Masturbation may actually help alleviate period pains as its hormone-like chemicals released during orgasms stimulate your uterus to release any excess lining, however I would always seek medical advice prior to trying this at home.
