What is Masturbation?

Masturbation is the self-stimulation of the genitals, typically leading to sexual arousal and often resulting in orgasm. It’s a common behavior across genders and age groups, and while it has been historically stigmatized, modern science recognizes it as a normal and healthy part of human sexuality. Masturbation can offer various health benefits, including stress relief, improved mood, and better sleep. Understanding its history and the science behind it can help destigmatize the practice and promote a healthier view of sexual self-care.
