Is Masturbation Good for Your Health?
“Masturbation is a healthy sexual outlet,” says sex and relationship expert Dr. Kat Van Kirk. “Research shows it can help individuals cope with stress, improve the immune system and it enhances partnered sex. Masturbation is a great form of preventative medicine.”
Meanwhile, Adam & Eve, America’s leading source for adult products, has revealed the latest findings on adults’ masturbation habits from its “Great American Sex Survey.”
