Are there any side effects of female masturbation?

Pleasure: Hopefully if done correctly, a feeling of pleasure. If you use toys etc, just be sure they are clean or you would possibly be at risk for an infection.

Bonus power Kegels: It's the equivalent of lifting weights, but for a totally different area of the body. Want a flat tummy? Do sit-ups. Want ripped biceps? Do pull-ups. Want to combat prolapse & maintain urinary/fecal continence? Especially if post-partum or menopausal? Do power-Kegels. Orgasm, besides the obvious perks, strengthens all your pelvic floor muscles, from your urethral orifice to your anus.
