Given the choice, most people would rather get laid than knock one out themselves. For singles in the post-pandemic era, that?s easier said than done – although not impossible!
Yet the fact of the matter is that orgasms are good for mental and physical health. Isolation, on the other hand, is not!
Health experts recommend ejaculating at least 21 times a year. It is estimated that men who ejaculate 21 times or more every 12 months, reduce the risk of developing prostate cancer.
However, with sex out of the equation for singles, that only leaves one option.?
According to a survey compiled by Badoo,?masturbation has reached epic proportions since lockdown. With bars and clubs out of bounds, the offline dating scene is like a ghost town.
The dating app surveyed over one thousand people aged between 18 to 50 during the lockdown. Three-quarters were singles and confirmed they had not had sex since the country closed. However, they did masturbate more than usual.
Playing solo is not a bad thing. Medical experts say that masturbating can help ward off mental health whilst you?re in isolation.
However,?sexual intercourse is “far more effective” because it releases more endorphins?which are better for your general wellbeing.?
Orgasms can also improve other areas of your health. Sex has been found to reduce the risk of heart disease, relieve stress and boost your immune system.
Mastering Masturbation
If you have found that you need to pull your pud more often since the pandemic, there?s a good chance you will get bored of your solo efforts pretty quickly.?
The award-winning journalist and sexpert, Alix Fox, has published some ?top tips? that could provide a solution. Apparently, she says, these nuggets will ?spice up masturbating?.?
We hope you?re ready for this:
- Observe the sensations in your entire body – joy isn?t only about stimulating the genitals.?
- Sit with your back to a door and imagine someone on the other side masturbating in tandem with you
- Play with yourself in front of a mirror to build a ?positive self-image.??
- Fiddle in the morning rather than at night.
- Grind your hips on to your hands and imagine it is somebody else?s private
Sex Dating Websites?
Although social distancing is still recommended, a lift on home-bound restrictions is encouraging people to try dating again.?
Yet with traditional dating scenes off-limits, singles are relying on online dating websites to find a romantic partner.?
According to Pew Research, three-in-ten adults say they have used an online dating site or app. Moreover, the majority report they have had a positive experience.
The number of people that have met their future spouse through online dating apps has also increased over time.?
Online dating websites are the easiest way to connect with dozens of people that you find physically attractive. Providing you take precautions,?sex hookups?are not out of the equation either.?
However,?health officials recommend?taking precautions when meeting up with strangers for sex in the post-pandemic era. Sex is better than masturbating, but there is also more risk of contracting the virus.??
