We could call this is a public service announcement for women mainly, but it is important for men, too. Don’t be shy, read on!
As I share the precepts of how to Live Life Juicy, know that I do so in the hopes that you will laugh, then share, and eventually consider them for yourself.
The first principle of LLJ, the thing that could change your life, the key to your long term wellness, a practical rule of thumb, or middle fingers, even the palm of your hand… This first fundamental edict, is:
Masturbation is good for you!!
Don’t take my word for it. I checked my facts before diving into this topic. The Cleveland Clinic (cited article here) and many other reputable sources agree!
Don’t panic, I am not about to go into detail about the HOW, I’m only here to tell you the WHY. You might be shocked to learn there are more than 13 reasons why.
- Reduce stress and relieve tension
- Improve sleep
- Increase your focus
- Boost your mood
- Alleviate aches and pain
- Enhance your sex life
- Prevent anxiety and depression
- More orgasms!
- Higher self-esteem
- Increased sexual desire (libido)
- Greater satisfaction for you and your partner
- Orgasms = dopamine and oxytocin. These work to counteract the stress hormone called cortisol.
- Relief for menstrual cramps
- In perimenopause or menopause, it could help reduce dryness and decrease pain during intercourse.
If you don’t like that M word, if it makes you cringe, call it something else. You owe it to yourself to investigate. And visit that place.
- Tend the garden
- Have some LLJ time
- Boost your mood
- Butter your muffin
- Tiptoe through the tulips
You get the idea, this should be FUN!
If you haven’t lately or haven’t ever, you are missing out. If you were ever made to feel ashamed or guilty, its time to banish those thoughts now. This is perfectly normal and perfectly wonderful.
Perhaps you don’t know where to begin?
Start with indulging your fantasies. Spicy romance books can help! Write to me and I’ll provide recommendations. 😉 Maybe its a tattooed bad guy, or a hunky handyman, a man cooking you dinner in just an apron, or a dashing dominant Scotsman demanding your compliance. It is no coincidence that DELICIOUS SURRENDER will have the Scotsman, the handyman and a tattooed bad guy! No, not all at once, this isn’t a reverse harem romance!
The bottom line is it’s different for everyone and very personal. Just know that we all fantasize. And when something stirs you, don’t ignore it. Find your happy place and live life juicy.
