Today, we’re going to talk about female masturbation: one of the best ways for women to get to know themselves better, break free from taboos, and experience immense pleasure!
Even today, many girls and women feel embarrassed talking about masturbation or, worse, masturbating. In fact, most of them are also interested in viewing content like Nacho Vidal nudes while “playing with” their intimate organs.
This often happens due to a lack of guidance or a repressive upbringing that views this habit as something “wrong.”
According to the Mosaico 2.0 survey, approximately 40% of women do not masturbate, and of these, 19.5% have never even tried touching themselves. However, masturbation is a very healthy way for women to learn about their sexuality and how to achieve orgasm.
And this process of discovery can be done in any way a woman desires: touching her entire body, the genital area, with her hands, with vibrators, using lubricants—in short, anything that doesn’t harm her body or mind and provides pleasure is permitted.
So, in this article, we’ll address some myths and truths about this practice, which is so beneficial for women’s health!
Can female masturbation cause diseases?
Myth! Solo masturbation cannot cause diseases if done with clean hands or clean objects.
Of course, we should be careful when touching ourselves or using any products to avoid skin injuries or irritations, but it’s not possible to catch a disease by masturbating alone.
When masturbating with a partner, however, you need to be careful when touching them and touching yourself back, as well as when sharing toys.
In these cases, there is a chance of contracting a Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI), so it’s worth being cautious.
It’s also worth remembering that toys used for anal penetration should be properly sanitized after use, before being used for vaginal penetration.
Does masturbation promote well-being and can even relieve PMS?
Masturbation is certainly a great ally in these cases!
This is because orgasm causes our body to release two hormones with very positive effects: endorphins and dopamine. Endorphins have analgesic functions and can help combat cramps and irritation. Dopamine is a hormone associated with pleasure, always released in situations of pleasurable rewards. So, masturbation truly plays a very positive role in relaxation and can help combat the unpleasant symptoms of PMS.
Can female masturbation rupture the hymen and lose virginity?
This is a question worth considering. What is considered virginity?
In fact, if a woman who has never had sexual intercourse inserts her fingers or any object into her vagina during masturbation, she may rupture her hymen. However, depending on a woman’s anatomy, she may tear her hymen in various situations, such as when using tampons or menstrual cups. Does this make her less of a virgin?
For some time now, we’ve been debunking the idea that virginity is associated with a broken hymen.
In fact, many people consider masturbating and masturbating a partner to be sexual intercourse, meaning it would be like losing one’s virginity without actually breaking the hymen. Furthermore, if a woman simply doesn’t want to break her hymen, it’s perfectly possible and pleasurable to masturbate without inserting fingers or any other object into the vagina, by stimulating the clitoris.
Can masturbation be addictive?
Myth! Masturbation is a way to get to know yourself and experience pleasure.
Addictions or dependencies are characterized, among other things, by:
- Tolerance: Increasingly larger doses are needed to achieve the same effect
- Inability to control: The person cannot “not use” the substance, despite wanting or needing to use it
- Social impairment: The person fails to fulfill work obligations or attend social engagements, or even experiences negative health effects
- Withdrawal: The presence of unpleasant physical symptoms when the person does not engage in the act or use the substance. Even in cases where people use masturbation as an escape or to alleviate distress, anxiety, and relationship difficulties, it is unlikely that the act meets the clinical characteristics of addiction or dependence.
Can female masturbation teach a woman how to orgasm?
True! Without a doubt, masturbation is one of the main ways women get to know themselves and how they can reach orgasm.
In fact, many women have had their first orgasm through masturbation. Female orgasm can occur in various ways, such as through penetration, stimulation of erogenous parts of the body, or direct stimulation of the clitoris, the latter being the most common. However, many women don’t know themselves well and don’t even know exactly where their clitoris is. Therefore, during masturbation, women have the opportunity to get to know their bodies and explore their desires. This way, their sexual relations will likely be more pleasurable, as they will know what gives them pleasure and can guide their sexual partners toward what satisfies them most.
In short…
As we’ve seen, many myths surrounding masturbation still exist today, and women tend to suffer more from this issue. It’s important to understand that masturbation is extremely healthy and beneficial for women’s physical and mental health. Besides providing relaxation and well-being, it allows for greater self-awareness, increases self-esteem, and can positively influence libido. So, women, how about looking at this with a more open mind and giving yourselves the chance to be the protagonists of your own pleasure?
