Hey friend,
When you hear the phrase “self-care,” what comes to mind first?
Bubble baths, meditation, skincare routines?
All of those are wonderful forms of self-care — but there’s one that rarely gets talked about, even though it’s just as important: masturbation.
Masturbation is so much more than just pleasure.
It’s a celebration of your body, your needs, your connection to yourself.
And during National Masturbation Month, there’s no better time to give it the spotlight it deserves finally.
Here’s Why Masturbation Belongs in Your Self-Care Routine:
1. It Reduces Stress and Anxiety
Touching yourself releases endorphins — your body’s natural stress relievers.
Orgasms lower cortisol levels, helping you breathe easier, sleep better, and feel more emotionally grounded.
2. It Helps You Reconnect to Your Body
In a world that constantly tells us how we should look, masturbation reminds you how you feel.
It brings you back to your senses — back to your own skin, heartbeat, breath, and desires.
3. It Boosts Sleep and Physical Health
Orgasms can help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.
They also promote better circulation, boost your immune system, and support pelvic floor health — all essential for feeling your best.
4. It Builds Confidence and Emotional Strength
When you know how to please yourself, you stop waiting for external validation.
You recognize your own worth, listen to your needs, and advocate for yourself — both inside and outside the bedroom.
5. It Breaks Down Shame and Empowers Healing
Masturbation is still stigmatized in so many conversations, but choosing to honor your body’s needs helps break the cycle of shame.
It’s an act of rebellion, healing, and love.

Start small. Light a candle. Breathe deeply.
Touch yourself with kindness and curiosity.
You deserve every ounce of joy and connection your body can offer.
You don’t need permission to celebrate yourself.
You only need the willingness to show up — fully, freely, and with love.
Happy National Masturbation Month! 🌸
You are worth celebrating.
With love,
