Abstaining from masturbation has become a popular trend recently, with many claiming the health benefits of abstinence. However, science debunks almost all of these claims. Instead, there are genuine health benefits to masturbation that you would miss out on during abstinence. Masturbation is perfectly healthy and normal.⁠ ⁠ There’s a lot of hype surrounding the effects of not masturbating. However, with anti-masturbation initiatives and organisations like NoFap and “No Nut November” focusing only on the positive effects of abstinence, it is important to take a more balanced view.⁠ ⁠ Whilst there may be positives, there are negative effects of not masturbating as well as just neutral ones.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #science #biology #testosterone #health
