IT'S FUN AND HEALTHY!
OUR SECOND POLL!
The very first
VGMH poll eventually wound up with over 1,000 participants---Back last September, the subject was men who self-identified as being straight, but desired or actually enjoyed sexual relations with gay men. This time the subject is something nearly everybody can relate to---masturbation!
According to clinical sexologist
Gloria Brame, Ph.D. (in a
Men's Health story), we're programmed to need orgasms to function well as adult men:
"It's a fundamental aspect of men's health, right up there with brushing your teeth." Masturbation relieves stress and keeps everything about our body-- heart rate, blood pressure, reproductive system, and brain chemistry—in good shape. There's also growing evidence that suggests masturbation impacts the body in positive ways that having sex with another person doesn't. This may be a result of having no pressure to please anybody else.
A 2003 Australian study found that men who climaxed/ejaculated more than five times a week were a third less likely to develop prostate cancer. Regularly releasing semen prevents the build up of cancer-causing chemicals and triggers the body to remain in sperm-production mode, including healthy men in their 90's! Another study found that many men who regularly masturbated had two methods--one was fast to relieve stress (part of a regular routine like taking a shower) and the other was slow with an emphasis on pleasure.
PLEASE TAKE THE POLL
