Masturbation is a natural and safest way to release sexual tension by touching, stroking and rubbing your private parts with hands or sex toys.

Masturbation is a common behaviour that is observed in people with or without a partner, of any age, gender, background and region.

While 28.8% of women masturbated 3 to 4 times a week and 1 in 4 men masturbated once every day. It is a part of private space and often people ignore masturbation.

Masturbation Is A Taboo

Masturbation is a private affair and everyone has the right to feel comfortable in his personal space. It is a common part of sexuality but people consider it as a shameful or embarrassing activity. Some of the religious and cultural beliefs consider masturbation a sin and prohibit discussing over it. There are plenty of myths prevailing in society that evolved masturbation as a bad habit. The myths claimed that practising masturbation will make you go crazy, lead to blindness, damage your genitals, shrink your penis, cause pimples and ruin your sexual life. But none of them is true in reality. The truth is that masturbation is actually the safest thing but people have made it taboo for individuals so they have a feeling of guilt after masturbation. But slowly masturbation is getting rid of the tag of sin and people are accepting it as a safe and common activity for pleasure.
