Masturbation - Sex after Divorce Part 5

In Episode #5 of Sex after Divorce with sex therapist, Juliana Neiman, we discuss masturbation. Masturbation is looked at as taboo by some and others were raised to believe that it's wrong to pleasure yourself. In addition to feeling good, masturbation is a good way of relieving the sexual tension that can build up over time, especially for people without partners or whose partners are not willing or available for sex. Masturbation also is a safe sexual alternative for people who wish to avoid pregnancy and the dangers of sexually transmitted diseases. Medically, It relieves stress and keeps everything about your body—your heart rate, blood pressure, reproductive system, brain chemistry—in very good shape .A 2003 Australian study found that men who ejaculated more than five times a week were a third less likely to develop prostate cancer. Regularly flushing your system, so to speak, keeps your semen healthy and prevents the build up of cancer-causing chemicals. So why all the hush hush?  Juliana breaks down the myths associated with masturbation and helps us understand how to live a more fulfilling life in future relationships.
