Sometimes at night when I'm having trouble falling asleep, I masturbate even though I'm not horny. I simply do it because it helps me fall asleep. Is this normal?
I was thinking if trying this... if it does help that would be nice. I hate sleepless nights
I've never made a decision to do it for this reason which is odd because I know it's very efficient. My partner often plays with it at night while I'm half dozy so that's a win/win on the sleep front.
Absolutely normal. When I was younger, I used to masturbate to get to sleep and deal with morning wood in the same way.
If you're a guy, regular masturbation is good for the prostate. (Careful about using the "death grip" though. If you get used to really rough handling. that can make it difficult to respond to the more gentle stimulation of vaginal sex.)
If you're a woman, regular masturbation is good because it helps you understand your own sexual responses.
For both sexes, the endorphins released during orgasm are natural mood boosters and stress relievers.
