You may also find pleasure in touching, pinching or rubbing other erogenous zones such as your nipples or testicles. You may find the use of a lubricant helps reduce friction while manually stimulating yourself. You may enjoy reading or watching explicit material or thinking about sexual fantasies during masturbation, which can often lead to orgasm. Different people masturbate in different ways. It’s a personal decision, and there are many ways to do it.
What Is Masturbation (Male)?
Masturbation is touching or rubbing your genitals, anus, or other parts of your body for sexual pleasure. Male masturbation is when someone who identifies as male masturbates.
Most of the time, the intended goal of masturbation is to achieve orgasm — the physical and emotional sensation at the peak of sexual excitement.
Masturbation in Puberty
Some people, especially younger men going through puberty, might be reluctant to discuss their masturbation with their family members. However, this privacy is nothing to worry about due to masturbation’s personal nature.
Male masturbation is nothing to be embarrassed about. Masturbation is natural, and even children up to the ages five and six partake in masturbation because of their curiosity about their own bodies. So, it is important to tell younger men that their masturbation is okay and nothing to be ashamed about, even though it should be done in private. If you have any questions about masturbation, the best person to ask is your doctor.
What are the benefits of masturbation?
Masturbation is good for you. It has many physical and mental health benefits. Studies have shown that masturbation may:
- Reduce stress.
- Relieve tension.
- Improve sleep.
- Increase your focus.
- Boost your mood.
- Alleviate aches and pain.
- Enhance your sex life.
- Prevent anxiety and depression.
There’s no risk of getting pregnant, and it’s rare to get a sexually transmitted infection (STI) through masturbation (be sure to clean any toys after use). In addition, when you have an orgasm, your body releases certain hormones called dopamine and oxytocin. Dopamine is sometimes called the “feel-good hormone” and oxytocin is known as the “love drug.” These hormones increase positive emotions in your body, such as happiness. They also work to counteract a hormone in your body called cortisol. Cortisol is known as the stress hormone.
Male masturbation
Studies of male masturbation have shown it’s healthy to masturbate and even beneficial for long-term health. One study suggested that people assigned male at birth (AMAB) who ejaculate frequently may have a lower risk of prostate cancer. Ejaculating often may prevent the buildup of cancer-causing agents in your prostate gland.
Female masturbation
Female masturbation has many other proven benefits. People assigned female at birth (AFAB) who masturbate are more likely to have an orgasm during sexual relationships with their partners. Female masturbation can also help provide relief for menstrual cramps. In older people, masturbation may lead to less vaginal dryness and decreased pain during sexual intercourse.
According to one study of married people AFAB, those who masturbated reported:
- More orgasms.
- Higher self-esteem.
- Increased sexual desire (libido).
- Greater satisfaction with their marriage and sex life.
During pregnancy, you may feel a heightened sexual desire, and masturbation can help release sexual tension. In addition, it may help ease some pregnancy symptoms including lower back pain.

Why Do People Masturbate?
In addition to feeling good, masturbation is a good way of relieving the sexual tension that can build up over time, especially for people without partners or whose partners are not willing or available for sex. Masturbation also is a safe sexual alternative for people who wish to avoid pregnancy and the dangers of sexually transmitted diseases. It also is necessary when a man must give a semen sample for infertility testing or for sperm donation. When sexual dysfunction is present in an adult, masturbation may be prescribed by a sex therapist to allow a person to experience an orgasm (often in women) or to delay its arrival (often in men).
While it once was regarded as a perversion and a sign of a mental problem, masturbation now is regarded as a normal, healthy sexual activity that is pleasant, fulfilling, acceptable, and safe. It is a good way to experience sexual pleasure and can be done throughout life.
Masturbation is only considered a problem when it inhibits sexual activity with a partner, is done in public, or causes significant distress to the person. It may cause distress if it is done compulsively or interferes with daily life and activities.
Masturbation is almost certainly good for your sex life.
Masturbation can help your sex life, since it’s how guys learn what they like during sex. «I think women would be more satisfied sexually in their relationships if they masturbated as much as men do,» Levkoff says.
Are there exceptions? Some guys do get so hooked on a certain amount of pressure during masturbation or the stimulation of porn that they can’t perform with a partner, says Ian Kerner, PhD, a sex therapist and author of She Comes First.
Still, Kerner says those guys are the exception. «For the vast majority of men, masturbation is a healthy thing,» he says. «I’m usually more concerned about a guy who’s stopped masturbating — which can be a sign of anxiety or health problems — than a guy who’s doing it regularly.»
