Masturbating When Sick?
- Posted on
Is it good or bad for you?
Something is going around, it’s that time of year again where the sun is gone and we’re entering Vancouver winter (read as rain and grey sadness). I was considering getting one of those SAD light therapy lamps, and I tell you what, they are not cheap. Anyway, today we’ll explore whether or not you should masturbate when you’re sniffling in bed.
The Good
Masturbation promotes relaxation and may temporarily ease your mind and body, even if just for a short while. You may
There are some claims and studies that sexual activity tells our bodies immune system to get up and fighting, which may help your recovery.
Masturbating can release endorphins that might help with headaches or cramps. This also applies to period symptoms if you’re having a rough time with your monthly bleeding.
The Bad
Don’t push yourself too much. The body is busy fighting little things inside it, so don’t go too hard on cardio. We have to save energy to actually recovering.
You’re prone to spreading infections when sick, so you have to be extra careful with hygiene. Don’t share toys and wash everything well before and after. Keep your cleaning game up with our toy cleaners in store or online here.
To avoid spreading infection, you should avoid contact with your partner(s). No one likes being stuck at home all day with a sore throat and the sniffles, so don’t pass it on.
The Final Verdict?
Yes! Go and be free (keep the viruses to yourself though please). Just be sure to drink lots of water and take it slowly. Physical strain on the body when sick is no good. Obviously, masturbation is not a substitution for medication or proper medical care. But if you’re stuck at home, feeling groggy, it won’t hurt you.
Peace and love.
