May is "National Masturbation Month"!

I was just forwarded this little tidbit of information...

"May means Cinco de Mayo, Memorial Day, yes, Mother's Day ... and masturbation?

That's rightomorrow kicks off National Masturbation Month, as deemed by the people at Good Vibrations in 1995. And while we're not one to pass up sex, going solo does have health and sexual benefits.

A 2003 Australian study found that men who ejaculated more than five times a week were a third less likely to develop prostate cancer. Sexual intercourse doesn't provide the same benefit, researchers say, because it puts you at risk of contracting a sexually transmitted infection.

And we all know pleasuring ourselves makes us better able to pleasure her. It helps you relearn the process of sexual response, which means you last longer in bed.

Couples can learn from watching each other masturbate, says Brian Zamboni, Ph.D., a sex therapist in Minneapolis. "If watch her, you can learn a ton about what makes her feel good," he says.

It's not a bad thing if your girlfriend or wife masturbates. In fact, women who service themselves are more likely to orgasm during intercourse and oral sex.

Zamboni suggests manually stimulating each other: "It's a fun, different way of being sexual with each other. It's also very intimate, and you both learn more about what the other likes."

So go ahead, watch some porn and get happy this month. But make sure the door is closed first, and never pass up real sex for a one-handed job." -- Source uncertain yet... still trying to find where the blurb came from.

Soooo.... go ahead and show yourself some love!
