We used to hear some really scary stories about masturbation and self-touch. "It will make you
go blind", "it'll cause hair to grow on the palms of your hands", "it will upset Jesus". And while
most people are already aware that none of that is true, there are still some quite persistent
myths around that relate to self-pleasure. And in this video we're going to bust them.
My name is Helena Nista and I make videos that help you have the best sex of your life.
And today, we're addressing and analyzing all the masturbation myths that many people still
believe in. Most of us grew up with some level of guilt, shame and repression around sex and
particularly masturbation. We've been told scary stories or even been shamed for any incidences
of self-touch. And it can be really hard to shake off these stories and toxic beliefs
but I really encourage you to examine where you might be limiting your own erotic expression
because you believe in some of them. So here are 10 masturbation myths that need to be busted. The
concept of right and wrong is subjective and it depends on your life philosophy, your values, your
relationship with religion, etc. There is nothing wrong with masturbation. It's a perfectly normal,
healthy and natural behaviour. In fact, we're meant to masturbate because it brings us a variety
of different benefits. But if you sign up to a system of thought that calls masturbation a sin,
then that's your personal choice. I just think that if you believe that God gave your sexual
urges, sensitive genitals and hands to reach them, and then he said that you weren't allowed
to touch yourself then that's one cruel and F'ed up god. I lost count of how many times
I heard men ask me "why would you masturbate if you can have sex?" - why indeed?! Well,
the reasons are many. Because you want to, because your partner isn't keen in the moment, because you
don't have a partner, to satisfy a libido that is higher than your partner's, because you're horny,
because you can give yourself better orgasms or because you can only orgasm when you're alone,
etc. Let's get this straight: masturbation is not inferior to intercourse. These are two separate
experiences and each has its own merits. And if you're not enjoying masturbation as much as
you enjoy partnered sex, you'll likely benefit from enrolling in my online course Masturbation
Coaching. It's a powerful journey of cultivating rich, profound erotic experiences by wiring your
nervous system through self-touch for more sensitivity and deeper orgasms. Make sure to
check it out, it will take you on a mind-blowing adventure! You'll find a link in the description
bar below. Another myth - masturbating too much is harmful. No, it's not. It can only
have adverse effects on your health and well-being if you absolutely exhaust yourself. Or if you stop
going to work, to school or doing normal daily things because you're masturbating so much.
Masturbation causes infertility - that one is also false. This statement is meant purely as a scare
tactic. If you're terrified enough about losing your ability to have a family in the future,
maybe that will stop you from masturbating. However, it's completely false. Let's talk
about vibrators because they can have a negative effect on a woman's genital sensitivity. But that
effect is temporary and doesn't mean that women then cannot come from fingers, penises or oral
sex. And no, you really cannot get addicted to your vibrator. A lot of men worry about the
correlation between masturbation and premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction. And yes,
the way you masturbate can contribute to certain sexual problems. However,
masturbation in and of itself is not a cause of any dysfunction between the sheets. Think of it
this way - you can use masturbation to condition your body for premature ejaculation or erectile
dysfunction. If you masturbate in a way that is quick, rushed, aggressive, etc., you are
effectively wiring your system to perform in such a quick way and to respond to intense stimulation
only. And this is also why your masturbation technique is important. So if that's something
that you'd like to improve then please make sure to check out my online course Masturbation
Couching because it will show you all the best, conscious and helpful ways to masturbate better.
Do single people masturbate more than people in relationships? Some do and some don't. There's no
correlation here and no way to draw this kind of conclusions. If you're in a relationship then you
shouldn't masturbate. Well, false again. Your relationship with your own body is the primary
sexual relationship in your life. And quality self-touch experiences will in fact improve your
enjoyment and satisfaction during partnered sex. Masturbation leads to different health problems.
No, it doesn't. Quite the opposite - when you masturbate your body releases a variety of
pleasure hormones that relax your body, reduce your stress levels, improve your immune system,
improve your skin, help you sleep better, etc. So you know, next time you're down with a cold, maybe
give yourself a hand with some self-pleasure to get better quicker. At the end of the day you're
the only judge of the quality of your masturbation experiences. And if you're feeling fulfilled,
happy and satisfied with your self-touch that's excellent! However, a lot of people masturbate in
a way that inhibits and reduces their pleasure and orgasmic potential. So it's worth keeping
in mind that many of us have never learned what it actually means to masturbate well. And how
to use self-touch to grow, expand and cultivate your erotic power. And this is where Masturbation
Coaching comes in, this is exactly why I created my course. Because I know firsthand the power of
a conscious, effective and blissful self-touch practice. And if you're curious to learn more,
