Masturbation - Is it Sexual Satisfaction or EXERCISE?

Before we start with discussion masturbation techniques, lets try to change the way we view masturbation first.

In today's society there is more and more education readily available regarding the benefits of masturbation. In understanding and accepting masturbation, you first need to change the way you view it and accept it as 'morally unacceptable'.

When I was a little girl, I was told that touching your private parts was considered 'bad'. It could result in blindness …or only "bad girls" touch themselves.

The reason I ask the question about viewing masturbation as sexual or exercise is because many women still believe that any form of masturbation is considered 'bad' and not accepted by society.

Masturbation is considered a form of sex, but 'solo' sex. It is also considered the safest form of sex. However, there are some links to masturbation with physical exercise and muscle development.

First, let's look to Webster for some definitions:
The word "exercise" is a verb meaning to train, practice.

The word "masturbation" is a verb; meaning erotic stimulation especially of one's own genitals …commonly resulting in orgasm and achieved by manual or other bodily contact exclusive of sexual intercourse, by instrumental manipulation, occasionally by sexual fantasies or by various combinations of these agencies.
The word "orgasm" is a noun, meaning intense excitement, especially and explosive discharge of neuromuscular tensions at the height of sexual arousal that is usually accompanied by the ejaculation of semen on the male and by the vaginal contractions in the female.
Last the word, "gratification" is a verb, meaning to feel satisfied, complete.

If you grew up thinking that masturbation is wrong, educate yourself on the definitions, try a new way of viewing the term: masturbation.

If you masturbate to achieve an orgasm, the orgasm is a form of muscle tensions, therefore isn't this considered exercise …training the pelvic muscles? When you masturbate you are focusing on your sexuality; therefore, you are exercising your sexual organs to help improve your sex life; therefore improving your relationship.

When you exercise, you are training and working on your muscles. You are trying to get your heart rate up to 140 beats per minute, to effectively challenge your body to respond to the training and see results in muscle definition. Breathing is very important in proper form of exercise training, which increases blood flow, relives stress and tension.

During an orgasm, the heartbeat increases up to 140 beats per minute, and the explosion of muscle tension means that you effectively challenged your body to respond and result in muscle definition, concentrating in the pelvic region. In addition, during an orgasm, the amount of concentration in breathing techniques helps improve blood flow and relives stress, headaches and tension.

Therefore, in summary, if you have issues with breaking society beliefs that masturbation is morally unacceptable, take a another look at the definitions presented above. Masturbation is a form of exercise, you are training a particular part of your body.
