Come again?
Flicking the bean, bashing the candle, polishing the rocket…whatever you call it, masturbation month is upon us and it’s time we talked about it.
Did you know that during the 1th century Doctors thought that women suffered from hysteria and were able to cure it with masturbation? Imagine that.
It seems like we are still living in a world of prudes.
Indiana University collected data from 5,865 Americans and found that adults aged between 25-29 years old are the most likely to admit to masturbating, meaning that the rest of the age groups may not be as open to discussing it. It also found that people who were married were the least likely to say that they had spanked the monkey over the past 90 days, with a whopping 57% of married men and 39% of married women denying their fapping time.
I, Chappie, think that it’s great doing it together. Just be careful when it comes to your enthusiasm for the task. I will always cringe at those A&E horror stories including: “53-year-old male with wife’s six-inch vibrator in rectum using it and lost grip”.
There are some added benefits of tuggin’ the rope (apart from the obvious); it’s good for your health. Studies show that men who regularly have sex or masturbate may have a lower risk of prostate cancer, it can prevent depression (because of the ‘happy’ hormone release), reduce stress and can even reduce pain. Last but not least, there’s no risk of unwanted pregnancies or STI’s. But if you do notice something weird going on with your little sir, it’s best to get it check out by a qualified Doctor like those at the Walk in Clinic.
I hope this blog post has given you some insight into my favourite time of the year, now go forth and enjoy yourself, literally.
