Besides pleasure, masturbation can bring benefits to the well-being of the body and mind. But what’s the best time of day to masturbate? The answer is simple: whenever you want and can; however, some specific moments can bring specific benefits.
Many people are still staying isolated and/or working remotely, which can be challenging for their mental health. So why not use science to help create a new masturbation routine that can benefit your life? Learn the best times to masturbate with information!
In the Morning
Masturbating while watching nude Lena Paul, for example, can help you start your day off right. Just as the penis is often erect in the morning, the vagina and clitoris also have a certain amount of lubrication in the morning.
This phenomenon occurs when you wake up during the REM stage of sleep, when blood flows to the genitals and testosterone levels are high. Masturbating, breathing deeply, and writhing can get blood flowing to all parts of the body, alert the nervous system, awaken the muscles, and increase concentration.
When You Can’t Sleep
Although masturbation helps you wake up, it can also help you sleep. While it may seem counterintuitive, keep in mind that your body will be affected by your level of fatigue and the time of day.
An orgasm releases prolactin, a hormone that makes you feel sexually satisfied—and sleepy. Additionally, dopamine and serotonin can help you feel happy and good about yourself. Sweet dreams!
To Sharpen the Mind
An overworked mind may need a little relief to get through the day. Masturbation increases blood flow to the brain, which, combined with the release of epinephrine and norepinephrine, can be like a shot of espresso, helping you feel more alert—even if you don’t orgasm. But remember, this is only recommended for those working from home, and you should make sure your computer is turned off.
When You Feel Anxious
Any activity that consumes your attention is great for relieving anxiety and renewing focus. Additionally, the lateral orbitofrontal cortex, which is responsible for decision-making, becomes less active during sex, and your levels of cortisol—the stress hormone—decrease.
To Relieve Pain
When you’re aroused, your prefrontal cortex—the part of the brain often associated with pain—starts releasing positive hormones, including vasopressin, used in some medications.
Orgasmic spasms increase blood flow throughout your body, including to the areas that are causing you pain. This explains why slapping and hair pulling can feel less painful when you’re aroused.
When Sex Feels Like Too Much Work
If you’re too tired or simply don’t feel like having sex, try some mutual masturbation with your partner. Even if the experience isn’t conventional sex, the release of oxytocin—the love hormone—and the shared intimate experience can be even more powerful than intercourse.
In the Shower
Due to their hectic schedule, spending time alone is out of the question for some women. If you identify with this, then the bathroom can be your best friend. Besides the lock, the space guarantees all the facilities for a quick cleanup when you’re finished. Plus, the sound of the shower can help drown out any sounds.
When You’re in the Mood
If you have libido issues and don’t get aroused easily, have difficulty reaching orgasm, or experience negative feelings, masturbation can interfere with your ability to concentrate, increase anxiety, make it difficult to sleep, or make you more aware of pain. If you’re working to improve your relationship with these effects, choose times when you have the time, space, and a more positive mindset to masturbate.
So are you now ready to start “your journey?”
