Masturbation used to be a hush-hush topic saved for private conversations.
We tend to think of wellness as green smoothies and cycling classes, so where does masturbation fit in?
To get clear on the subject, we connected withDr.
Holly Richmond, Ph.D., LMFT, CST.
“There’s notmy general healthover here, andmy sexual healthover here.”
As Dr. Holly confirms, sexual health is aholisticpart of our being.
And that doesn'’t necessitate a partner.
And BTW, there are many.
The health benefits of masturbation.
“I prescribe [self-pleasure] all the time,” Dr. Holly shares.
Sexual pleasure isalsogood for us, and that doesn’t have to include an orgasm."
The bottom line is: Sexual pleasure comes with all sorts of health benefits, orgasm or not.
So let’s dive in:
Masturbation strengthens your pelvic floor.
According to Dr. Holly, self-pleasure helps make ourpelvic floorstronger.
And while orgasms aren’t necessary, they certainly help.
“Orgasms are like a mini-workout for the pelvic floor,” she describes.
“When we orgasm, there are these micro-contractions that help enhance our pelvic floor…
This prevents incontinence and makes our orgasms stronger.”

Make pleasure a practice.
The conversation surrounding masturbation is quickly changing.
It’s no longer something to blush about or keep secret.
(And if76% of women and 92% of menmasturbate, was it ever really a secret?)
It’s important to remember that talking about masturbation means talking about pleasure.
“Dameoffers sexual wellness products that put pleasure at our fingertips.
But they also offer other products, like theirArousal SerumandMassage Oil, which help us turn pleasure into apractice.
Dame does such a good job of checking all of those boxes.”
The more pleasure we experience, the better we feelthere’s no question about that.
But the science shows that more pleasure also means more health and well-being.
From better moods to deeper sleep to brighter skin…we officially have every reason to masturbatemore.
