Ejaculating is often accompanied by a pleasant sensation of relief across your body making it an intense and satisfying experience. It is also good for your body, and has more health benefits than one. So, whether you have a partner to have sex with or are masturbating, here are some of the health benefits of ejaculating you should know about.
1. Reduces your chances of prostate cancer
According to a 2003 Australian study, men who ejaculated more than 5 times a week were less likely to develop prostate cancer. The logic behind this is that ejaculation helps clear semen from your system thus preventing the buildup of cancerous cells.
2. Releases stress
Both sex and masturbation are accompanied with the release of dopamine and oxytocin in your brain which makes you feel good. If you are stressed about something, then ejaculating will definitely help release that stress. Read more tips on managing stress in your daily life.
3. Helps you sleep
Ejaculation is accompanied with the release of several chemicals in your brain, and one of these chemicals is called prolactin. This hormone gives a feeling of relaxation that makes men feel sleepy. However, you should note that ejaculating after intercourse releases four times more prolactin than ejaculating after masturbation.
4. Enhances your sense of smell
Believe it or not, ejaculation can help improve your sense of smell. Prolactin, the same hormone that is responsible for making you sleep, helps in the formation of new neurons in the olfactory region of your brain.
5. Boosts your self esteem
Oxytocin, a chemical released after ejaculation (through sex or masturbation) has been found to stimulate positive thoughts and increase self esteem.
6. Fights depression
Depression is definitely more common than we think it is, and many people don’t speak about it. Ejaculation releases mood-enhancing hormones like serotonin and dopamine making it a natural and healthy way to fight depression.
