5 Reasons Masturbation Is an Expression of Love
Why self-love is also a partner-loving act
We know that masturbation is a way to show love to ourselves. It gives us pleasure, helps us get to know what we enjoy sexually, relieves stress, and even helps us sleep better. But the advantages do not end with the personal benefits we gain from engaging in this form of self-love — they also extend to our partners in numerous ways. In fact, masturbation is a great way for us to express our love for our partners. The following are five reasons why the gift of pleasure to yourself is also a gift to the one you love.
Learning Your Own Pleasure
If you’ve ever felt frustration when trying to please someone sexually, you probably would have appreciated a roadmap on how to do it, rather than fumbling around in the dark with no direction whatsoever. Masturbation can help you avoid putting your partner on that lonely road to nowhere because the more you know about what you like, the more you can tell your partner how to please you.
