Is masturbation good for you? All signs point to yes!

Self-pleasure boosts your immune system and raises your white blood cell count. According to Dr. Jennifer Landa masturbation can be just what you need to strengthen your immune system.

Her views are backed up by a Department of Medical Psychology at the University Clinic of Essen which looked at the effects of orgasm through masturbation on the white blood cell count.

A group of 11 volunteers were asked to participate in a study and the results confirmed that sexual arousal and orgasm increased the number of white blood cells. White Blood cells help fight off infections.

“It has been known for a long time that orgasms help you relax your body and calm your mind meaning a better sleep which in turn means more time for your body to rest,” Relph says.

“Rest is crucial in maintaining a high-functioning immune system. And when you climax your body gets that rush of dopamine, serotonin and oxytocin – all of those feel good hormones”.

This rush re-balances your levels of cortisol also known as the stress hormone, which in turn helps boost your immune system to get it functioning well.

“We care about the safety of our clients so we’re pleased they’re doing everything they can to look after their immune systems!”

But that's not all! Other benefits to masturbation include:

• Making sex better! Studies from 2009 revealed that vibe use by women and men was linked to an increase in desire, arousal, and overall sexual function. Women said they had increase in lubrication, men said they had better erectile function.
• Helping with cramping. Orgasms can reduce pain from menstruation or ovarian issues.
• Masturbation can reduce stress and help you sleep.
• Some research suggests that regular ejaculation could lower the risk of prostate cancer.

There's no physically harmful side effects of masturbation! So go have fun!
