Masturbation: The Most Underrated Form of Self-Care

Did you know there was a time when people would say masturbation stunts your growth and that you will get hairy hands if you masturbate? Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if people still say that, but it’s not true.

I grew up in a religion that did not allow masturbation. Despite what I was taught, I still masturbated. I’m glad I do, because what I found is that masturbation is a form of self-care and self-love.

I also found out what I like and dislike in sex before I introduced partners into my sex life. Who better to have sex with than yourself?! You can experiment as much as you feel comfortable with. You can either use yourself or you can play with toys to get a different experience. The amount of toys out there seems endless. However, you don’t have to have money or toys to masturbate.

Masturbation is like feeding yourself a meal. Our body has needs, and it’s self-care to make sure our bodies get what they need.

If you don’t feel comfortable masturbating, listen to yourself. Consent is important even with ourselves.

If you’re curious about masturbation and toys and need some tips, feel free to reach out, and I can give you some advice about beginner-friendly toys to use.
