Why Masturbation is Medicine for Women
Nothin like the word masturbation to stop you in your tracks!
LADIES: for real, let’s talk about sex and whether or not you want to have it.
I have the privilege to work with women who trust me enough to share their experience of intimacy.
What I have found is that many women not only have a low libido, but sex feels like a chore without a reward - aka - no orgasm
Let’s 🛑STOP here: ladies & all genders alike - you deserve to have a fulfilling and satisfying sex life! So what’s getting in the way?
I hear a lot of ‘I’m just too exhausted,’ or ‘there’s just no time,’ - but what’s really going on?
Hormone imbalances, pelvic stagnation, stress, anxiety and depression are a few reasons for changes in sex drive. What is one of my baseline treatments regardless of the underlying cause? Use it or lose it!
Whether you have a partner or not, stimulating the sexual organs will increasing blood flow to the pelvis. This is critical to balance hormones and support function in a society that spends most of the day sitting 🪑
Some benefits of masterbation/orgasms include:
🔥Decreasing the stress hormone cortisol & alleviating anxiety
🔥Regulating the immune system to decrease autoimmune disease
🔥Boosting oxytocin - the connection hormone
🔥Enhanced neuroconenctivity and neurological function
🔥increased blood flow / nutrients to the pelvis = enhanced sex life & improved fertility
🔥Improved sleep
🔥Knowing what you like so you can communicate clearly with your partner
I love being a naturopathic doctor. I love talking about everything and anything with my patients.
