Masturbating may save your life!

Next time your friends tease you about your excessive masturbation needs, you can let them know you're just taking care of your health.

The recent issue of Men's Health listed some of the benefits of blowing a load daily.

“Masturbation is part of a healthy sex life,” explained Gloria Brame, Ph.D., a clinical sexologist. “It’s totally safe and harmless. It’s healthier than brushing your teeth every day.” (Please continue brushing your teeth, though, or all you'll ever do is masturbate!)

Masturbation is believed to help prevent cancer. Disease-causing toxins can build up in your urogenital tract; masturbation helps flush them out of your system.

As well, your hard-on will stay, well, harder. Sex and masturbation will strengthen your pelvic floor muscles to prevent erectile dysfunction. “It keeps the angle of your dangle perky,” said Brame.

“[Masturbating] an hour before a date will give you more control,” added Brame. Basically she means you're less likely to end the moment early if you've already pleasured yourself. Just make sure you have time to nap before your date shows up.
