(Incredible) benefits of masturbation that not everyone knows:

• "Improving the immune system and mental health: regular orgasms produce oxytocin, a hormone known to relieve anxiety, improve mood and strengthen the immune system. Sometimes known as the 'love hormone', oxytocin promotes empathy and helps us feel closer to others";
• "Strengthening sleep: for women, there is also an increase in estrogen after orgasm, which not only helps to fall asleep quickly but also creates a deeper state of sleep";
• "Relieving pain and stress: orgasms also activate endorphins. According to a study by Satisfyer and Harris Poll, almost a third of women who own a sexual wellness device say they use it because they need help relaxing and relieving stress";
• "Making skin more radiant: orgasms increase blood flow in the body, carrying more oxygen to the blood cells and thus giving the skin a radiant glow - including an anti-aging effect";
• "Increasing sexual satisfaction: masturbation allows people to explore their sexual preferences in a safe and non-judgmental environment, increasing self-knowledge and sexual confidence";
• "Strengthening the pelvic floor: activating the pelvic floor muscles helps to strengthen this entire area, which can contribute to better bladder control and sexual function."
