May has cum<\/em>, so let’s celebrate Masturbation Month by exploring the many strokes of self-love!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Misunderstandings about masturbating have existed for as long as we have been wanking. But thankfully, most<\/em> of the scary speculation surrounding self-pleasure has been debunked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sexual pleasure is<\/em> healthy! So, say goodbye to shameful solo sex with five fapping falsehoods<\/em> you can put to bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

1. Women Don’t Wank!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When we asked our lovely customers what masturbation myth you swore was true when you were younger, lots of you said, “Women don’t masturbate”<\/em>. The false belief that only men like to engage in a bit of DIY is one of the most prevalent myths surrounding masturbation. We’re here to tell you that it’s simply not true!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TENGA’s Self Pleasure Report 2021<\/a> found that 89% of UK adults like to participate in some one-on-one time<\/em>. And with 45% of sex toy users<\/a> reporting they use them for masturbation, a whopping 66% of you are women! There’s a reason that our Rabbit Vibes<\/a>, Clit Toys<\/a> and other vagina-friendly pleasures are our bestsellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s good vibes only for intense, penetrative pleasure with this thrusting bad bunny.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

2. Masturbation Makes Your Hands Hairy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Going back to the Dark Ages, there have always been old wives’ tales to discourage people from experiencing solo satisfaction, including the fallacy that fapping will make you furry!<\/em> However, there is zero scientific evidence to suggest that masturbating too much – or at all – will make you grow hair on your palms – it’s actually one of the few places on your body that IS <\/em>hairless! So, don’t worry – you can get handsy without getting hairy<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

\n\n\n\n

3. Masturbation Decreases Your Sexual Sensitivity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Choking the chicken<\/em> a bit too hard and too often is said to decrease your sensitivity to sex, solo or otherwise. However, while nerve damage can <\/em>occur when squeezing too hard, it’s not permanent, so DON’T PANIC!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Stoke yourself to out-of-this-world orgasms with this supple, skin-soft masturbator.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Your downstairs department has an unbelievable number of nerve endings, and your stimulation style will definitely affect your happy ending. Just take a break and switch up your technique – maybe invest in a masturbator<\/a> or prostate massager<\/a>! Then you can get back to tickling that pickle<\/em> and enjoying the benefits masturbation brings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

4. Masturbation Ruins Sex With Your Partner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some people, and we’re not pointing fingers, think masturbating in a relationship is bad for your sex life. But, scientifically speaking, there’s nothing to say you will have a lower libido because you wank. In fact, most <\/em>people don’t see jerking off as a replacement for a roll in the hay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

White Multispeed Mains Powered Wand Vibrator<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Hit the spot with this powerful massage wand for orgasmic couples’ foreplay.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Although masturbating is generally seen as a solo endeavour, you can also use it to spice things up with your partner. Mutual masturbation<\/a> is something we highly suggest if you want to know what gets each other’s rocks off; you might learn more than you think! Show your playmate exactly how you like to be touched and revel in each other’s pleasure with a couples’ sex toy<\/a>. Having a fiddle together can actually improve your sex drive! <\/p>\n\n\n

5. Fapping Causes Infertility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This rumour tends to apply more to people with penises. “It takes most men about 12 to 24 hours to regenerate a good sperm count after a previous ejaculation”, according to Dr Ira Sharlip, a clinical professor of urology. Excessive masturbation (3 to 4 times a day) CAN deplete sperm reserves, but it doesn’t decrease fertility – so just give yourself a break, and you’ll bounce right back! But if you are worried about your swimmers, support your virility with our Sexual Potency Supplements for Men<\/a>. And don’t worry, ladies! You can also go down under without worrying about your babymaker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

We hope we’ve put your mind at ease by busting <\/em>some of these masturbatory myths! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
