What are the advantages to masturbating, aside from the feeling?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Healthy activity: A 1997 study in the british medical journal revealed that having at least two orgasms per week may reduce all-cause mortality. A follow-up study revealed potential cardiovascular benefits as well from achieving orgasm at least three times weekly. Although the subjects studied were much older than you, masturbation is a healthy activity at any age.
