You might have been waiting for an article like this all your life. After all, there is still that stigma and shame when it comes to choking your chicken or flicking your bean, but Bang! is here to assure you that it's not only okay, but it's actually beneficial for you!
Hopefully long gone are the days of your parents telling you you'll go blind- or better yet, get hair on your palms if you touch your no-no parts. You're an adult now and can do whatever the fuck you want, so get your kit, throw on one of the 140,000 videos we have on Bang! and rest assured you'll at least get the seven benefits we're about to rattle off.
Lower Risk of Prostate Cancer
This one is for the fellas and it will actually get scientific. There was an actual study done which stated that masturbating 21 times a month reduced prostate cancer by about 33 percent. Whoa, those are rookie numbers for some.
So yeah, prostate cancer is a pretty big deal among guys, so jerking your shaft will actually extend your life and shield you from a pretty painful demise. Think about that next time you're in the shower.
It Makes You Harder For The Future
Your dick is a muscle, and as with any muscle, the more you use it, the bigger and harder it'll be. It doesn't have to be wanking though, sex will have the same effect so if you're lucky enough you have both options.
When you're working on yourself, oxygen rushes to your cock and increases blood flow, making you hard. The more you do it, the more you're working out your pelvic floor muscles and on top of that, it helps you prevent erectile dysfunction and incontinence.
Take that mom, I told you it was healthy for me.
You'll Last Longer During Sex
There's no shame for being a minute man, but there is hope if you...take matters into your own hands. You can sometimes pop fast because quite frankly, you didn't come for a while. So now you're faced with a nice pussy in front of you and you have a sac full of cum. It's not your fault, man.
So, jerking off an hour or so before said activity could be your saving grace. You already came, you're more relaxed, you're not horny af and maybe slightly desensitized. Trust us, your partner will thank you for that later.
Boost Your Immunity
Dr. Bang! here. A 2004 study by Jennifer Landa, M.D., showed that yanking your chain releases a hormone called cortisol. Now, it's commonly known that cortisol is typically related to stress, but it's a stress regulator, actually.
In small does such as the ones released during your session, a little cortisol gets released and regulates and strengthens your immune system! If you want even more details, after you cum within about 45 minutes your system will be flooded with more white blood cells than before. Cool, huh?
Better Mood
This one is a no brainer. Have you ever jerked off and thought, "Man, that sucked." Nope.
When you're in the moment, your body gets flooded with dopamine and oxytocin which literally lights up your brain with "feel good" neurochemicals. That's why it feels so damn good! This is true for all genders too of course, so do what you need to do to get that dopamine hit!
It'll Help You Fall Asleep
Another no brainer. We're sure you've all had a sleepless night when you're tossing and turning and finally decide to rub one out. Then, you sleep effortlessly.
Scientifically speaking, getting that sleepy release will flood your system with prolactin and serotonin, which one will make you happy like we mentioned before, but also relaxed. If you need something to watch in bed, Bang! is here for you.
It Can Increase Your Lifespan
This one encapsulates all the points above. A Welsh study of 1,000 men over 20 years showed that cumming 2 or more times a week made those men die at half the rate of men who didn't (In case that sentence was confusing, it just means the ones who yanked more often lived longer!) Sorry to say, but imagine living longer because you played with yourself more?
Since rubbing one out can better your mood, boost your immunity, make you last longer, reduce stress among many other benefits, no wonder you live longer. One of the most pleasurable activities in life also extends your life, which means you can jerk off for more years!
If that's not the best news you've heard in years, we don't know what is.
