Not Just A Enjoyment, Masturbation Turns Out To Be Able To Protect The Body From Diseases

JAKARTA - Masturbation is an act of stimulating oneself in the genitals or other sensitive parts, to achieve sexual pleasure or satisfaction. In addition to sexual satisfaction, this activity can actually provide benefits for the body.

One of them is increasing immunity or the immune system. This is also explained through a study published in the journal Neurolmano Modulation.

There is a release of chemicals such as oxytocin and dopamine, which increases mood and relieves stress. It can also help a person to sleep better.

"This (musturbation) helps relieve stress and even release endorphins in the body, thereby increasing relaxation. It even helps you sleep more sensitivizingly and also relieves menstrual cramps," said obstetrician Dr. Aruna Kalra, quoted from Healthshots, on Tuesday, October 14, 2025.

Doctor Kalra also said that when orgasm, blood flow will increase. This will make the body feel happy and stress-free, which in turn helps improve the immune system.

When experiencing orgasm, blood flow increases and tolerance for pain increases. So in the end, it makes you feel happy, warm, and sleepy. When free of stress, your immune system tends to increase," he explained.

However,torship should not be excessive either. The number of manages for each person is different, but what is considered normal is one to three times a week.

The excessive frequency of stimulation will actually make it a habit that can interfere with daily activities, trigger anxiety, or make it difficult to be satisfied when having sex with a partner.
