Masturbation and Sexual Health – How Self-love Improves Partner Play

When it comes to the goings-on behind the closed door of an adult bedroom, most couples seem to think sex and masturbation are mutually exclusive.  In other words, if a couple is having sex they are not – or should not – masturbate, and vice versa.  Interestingly enough, sex and masturbation have more of a yin-yang relationship, in which they actually complement each other and can work together to make sex as a couple more enjoyable.  Learn more about how masturbation – and even mutual masturbation – can turn OK sex into great sex, as well as how to keep the penis healthy and ready for the ensuing increase in action it is about to experience.

Why Sex Becomes Routine

Most people who have been in a long-term sexual relationship have developed a sort of sexual repertoire that they do not deviate from much when getting down and dirty.  The reason for this is simple: most adults are tired, very tired.  Between juggling kids, work, and an otherwise full schedule, it is not uncommon for a couple to use a bed more for sleeping than for anything else – even if more sex is desired.  When a night finally comes when both partners can muster up the energy to just do it, they want to do what works and what is going to get fast, reliable results without having to put in too much effort. Sound familiar? Hence, the boring sexual routine is born, sure the couple may not enjoy mind-blowing orgasms each and every time, but it gets the job done.

Why Masturbation Works Every Time

Now, on the other side of the coin is couples, or individuals, who engage in self-love.  Whether masturbation is reserved for a night when sex just isn’t going to happen, is used as part of a relaxing bedtime routine, or is just for fun, it is about as close to a sure thing as there is out there.  The reason behind this phenomenon is that no partner can provide the exact type of stimulation the body is craving like oneself.  Even the most skillful partner is unlikely to be able to achieve the specific angle, pressure and speed that a man is able to give himself, so from that respect, sometimes masturbation provides a faster, easier service than sex does.  Think of masturbation as the ATM of sex, guaranteed results without having to deal with an actual person.

How Masturbation Can Improve Sex

Believe it or not, when sex and masturbation are able to come together, the results can be spectacular.  Individuals who masturbate are, obviously, very familiar with the specific sensations they enjoy, so if they can muster up the courage to express this to their partner, they can learn to experience fireworks in the bedroom.  When partners take the time to teach each other where and how to touch each other, in a slower more exploratory manner they actually learn more about how their body reacts during sex.  Sure, the wham, bam, thank you ma’am method may get the job done, but exploring sensations and guiding one another down a longer path to orgasm, not only makes sex more enjoyable, it also reconnects the couple in a more intimate way.  Sure, there may still be nights when a quickie is all that can be mustered, but on occasion, it may be worth it to put on a pot of coffee after dinner and get a little more pep in the step to help break out of the boring bedroom routine.

Staying Sexually Healthy

Whether a man is getting plenty of partner action, or more of a hands-on variety, a healthy penis is key to a healthy sexual response.  Over time, the penis skin can become rough and desensitized, due to the constant friction that sexual stimulation provides.  Keep the skin healthy and sensitive to all touches by using a daily penis health formula (most health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil).  Selecting a health cream, especially one containing Acetyl L Carnitine and Alpha Lipoic Acid, can help rejuvenate damaged penile cells and improve nerve function that may have become dulled over the years.  Simply apply daily and enjoy the benefits of a healthier penis.
