A member asked:
Will masturbation help me relax and get rid of anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This is one of the: primary reasons to masturbate--to relieve stress. Orgasm impacts twenty-two major regions in the brain, which then generate lots of feel-good hormones. These have a good effect on anxiety, plus depression. You must not be hung up on guilt, which is the other side of the masturbation issue.
