Trust Us. You won’t go blind and your palms will only get hairy if you’re predisposed to that condition. May is Masturbation month and we’ve got a list of local adult shops to help you “take the edge off.”
Let’s break it down. According to science masturbation is actually beneficial.
The Cleveland Clinic tells us that a little self pleasure can relieve stress, improve your focus, improve sleep and much more. For men or those assigned male at birth, ejaculating more frequently can, in fact, lower the risk of prostate cancer as the frequency can help eliminate cancer-causing agents from your body. For those assigned female at birth, giving yourself a hand can increase the pleasure in your sexual relationships with a partner by increasing the likelihood of orgasm. Masturbation can also alleviate menstrual cramps and, as you age, prevent vaginal dryness.
It’s the safest sex of all. No STD’s or sad breakups involved.
There are a few preventable side effects of masturbation. First, if you’re a person prone to compulsive behaviors, put a limit on your personal hanky panky. You don’t want to hurt your wrists, miss your work schedule or classes. We’re also pretty sure you don’t want to chafe or bruise your tender parts.
If you’re feeling guilty, relax. You’re doing nothing wrong.
Now that we’ve cleared that up. Let’s talk about local spots to find goods to aid in your pleasure pursuit.
While you can buy small apparatus and toys at common places like Target, you might be interested in some more specialized goods. We’ve got you covered. Here are a list of places locally to buy your adult goods for your self satisfaction or even for a little adventurous fun with your partner.
