00:00According to science, masturbation is actually terrific for us.
00:05Not only does it give your skin a great glow, but it's also good for your heart health.
00:10It sometimes can cause problems.
00:13Guess what an orgasm is called in Hindi, baby?
00:16Hi there, I'm Dr. Danyana Rangre and welcome to my most requested video ever.
00:20Is masturbation bad for you?
00:23Short answer, no.
00:25Long answer, sometimes.
00:27I see a lot of questions, queries, comments, blog posts about how masturbation is terrible
00:32for you, how it will cause impotence, how it will reduce the protein in your body, how
00:37it will make you have no energy, and to all of these things I say, b*****d.
00:46Because according to science, masturbation is actually terrific for us.
00:50Not only does it give your skin a great glow, but it's also good for your heart health.
00:55It reduces stress.
00:57It improves the quality of your sleep.
01:00It makes you feel more in love with yourself and it also releases a hormone called oxytocin
01:05that helps you bond better with your partner.
01:08Additionally, it has the added bonus of no STIs ever, because if you're not having sex
01:13with another person, how can you get an STI?
01:16If all of that weren't good enough for you, there are studies that show that masturbation
01:20also reduces your risk of cancer.
01:23Two studies from 2003 and 2016 have shown that people who masturbated more than 21 times
01:28a month had a 20% lower risk of getting prostate cancer.
01:34If that's not good enough for you, I don't know what is.
01:40Now, this is not to say that masturbation is always the best.
01:46It sometimes can cause problems.
01:48When should you avoid it?
01:51If you're pregnant, it's alright to masturbate.
01:54It also helps release lower back pain and de-tension.
01:58But if you have a high-risk pregnancy, you should avoid masturbating because it can induce
02:04labor and in a high-risk pregnancy, we don't want that.
02:08Additionally, sometimes people masturbate so much that the skin of their genitals becomes
02:13raw and inflamed.
02:16If you're constantly creating friction in your genital area, so much so that your skin
02:20becomes inflamed and raw, then you need to stop, obviously, to prevent it from happening.
02:29Lastly, a lot of people worry about getting addicted.
02:33How to know if you're addicted?
02:35If your masturbation interferes with your daily life.
02:38If you're skipping work, school, college, classes, social events, going to meet our
02:42friends, to stay at home and masturbate, then it's best to speak to a therapist because
02:47it may indicate an addiction.
02:50Now, don't have shame around this.
02:52It's alright, it happens.
02:54Addiction can happen to substances, to habits, and it can be healthy.
02:58So, it's best to speak to a therapist and masturbate yourself.
03:03Otherwise, masturbation is good for you.
03:06It's nothing to be scared of.
03:08It's nothing to be worried about.
03:10But otherwise, yay masturbation!
