For the Ladies - want better health, masturbate more

Masturbation as Medicine - US News

" Masturbation is a missing ingredient in your desire (and weight loss) plan. Well, not just masturbation, but anything that brings you sincere physical pleasure that also balances your hormones. And arousal and orgasm are most easily achieved through masturbation, especially if you're single or in a sexless relationship.

According to the 2009 University of Michigan study, orgasm helps the body release oxytocin, the "love and bonding" hormone. Oxytocin release lowers cortisol, the main stress hormone chronically elevated in many women that can lead to stress eating and weight loss resistance. In other words, higher levels of oxytocin make us happy and keep those emotionally-triggered food cravings for sugars, cheese and other "happy foods" at bay.

In my book, “Women, Food, And Desire,” I tell the story of a client who wasn't dating and wasn't masturbating. She had also been suffering tummy trouble for years, and worked a very stressful job. She was tired of the bloating, gas and the dreaded "muffin top" that wouldn't budge. I took her to Babeland, a clean, well-lit place for sex toys, and we talked with a knowledgeable staff member who helped her pick out a vibrator. After a couple of weeks of self-exploration, she noticed a marked difference in her digestion. (And she certainly had a nice spring in her step.)"

any local chics want to help me practice full body massage with happy ending and g-spot focus work; merely to help me get better with diversity, gender relations, and stress management in a team oriented manner?

I masturbate at least twice daily, after rising (excellent incentive to getting out of bed hehe,) and before retiring (the resolution period and natural sedative helps fall asleep, don't think women have this but guys do.) And at the age of 43 have a full head of thick hair, no health problems, no weight issue, etc. And considering my fairly junkfood-rich diet, things should be otherwise. But lack of stress and lack of guilt for pleasure like masturbation may be at least aprtially to credit for everything. I'm thus a big proponent for masturbation. Especially when single since it spares us making bad decisions in our relationship pursuit when we just want what we can do ourselves even better.

Study: ‘Love Hormone’ Gene Key to Better Relationships
June 22, 2016 - Gene responsible for producing oxytocin, which plays a role in social behavior

The activity of a certain gene could determine how social you are and how well you bond with others. The OXT gene is responsible for the generation of a substance called oxytocin, often referred to as the “love hormone,” and researchers at the University of Georgia say people with lower levels of it have a harder time recognizing facial expressions and have more “anxiety about their relationships with loved ones.”

The researchers say that a process called methylation can reduce the “expression” of OXT, leading to lower oxytocin. "Methylation restricts how much a gene is expressed," said Brian Haas, the study's lead author and assistant professor of psychology at UGA's Franklin College of Arts and Sciences. "An increase in methylation typically corresponds to a decrease in the expression of a gene, so it affects how much a particular gene is functioning. "All of our tests indicate that the OXT gene plays an important role in social behavior and brain function," Haas said.

The researchers reached their findings after assessing the social skills as well as brain structure and function of 120 people, and said further study is needed. People with low OXT expression appeared to have lower levels of brain activity in regions associated with social cognitive processing. They also had less gray matter in the region of the brain called the fusiform gyrus, which is crucial for face processing and social cognition.

If confirmed with a larger sample, it could lead to better treatment for a myriad of behavioral and social disorders. The study was published June 20 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
