Despite what the old wives tell you, masturbation won’t cause blindness or infertility; nor will it cause your “willy” to fall off. Instead, the ‘divine act’ of self-pleasure has numerous health benefits attached to it. So, irrespective of whether you’re left-handed, right-handed or both handed, it is good to unzip and unwind, once in a while!
Here are some benefits of masturbation:
1. Helps prevent prostate cancer
It flushes out disease-causing toxins in the urogenital tract.
