Why we masturbate so much more these days
You know I read a lot of research papers and collect stats on sexual behavior, especially masturbation.
Yes, it's common knowledge now that masturbation rates have increased with each generation for the past several generations and that this trend is continuing upward (confirmed in the original Kinsey study and every study since then). There is debate about why this trend has accelerated dramatically upward in just the last decade across all age groups but the mere fact remains a topic of stimulating conversation.
So I decided to list the various things that I have read that might help explain this.
1) Organic or environmental factors that have increased our need to ejaculate harder and more often:
Some attribute this to much greater stresses of today. Increased stress from tight timelines, competing demands, information overload, and inflexible schedules manifest itself as a stronger urge to ejaculate. We simply have to ejaculate more often to cope. Ejaculation through masturbation is an effective way to alleviate stress and far exceeds pleasure as the most common reasons people give. Many will say "The pleasure gives me guilt but I try not to let that get in the way because I just need the stress relief."
Some attribute this this to our increasingly high protein. Over the last 50 years, the amount of protein we consume has increased enormously. We are laterally overflowing with protein in our diets. It can be unhealthy and so one way our bodies cope is by ejaculating it out. Our cocks runeth over with our protein which you can easily see oozing out and running down our cocks when we are erect. This also accounts for the increased volume we ejaculate now days. The ejaculatory volume of the average healthy male is several times what it was for males of the same age decades ago. We ejaculate more cum and do it more often.
Some attribute it to the increasing hormones in our food and water. We all know this has been associated with earlier puberty in girls. But in males it manifests as earlier onset of ejaculation and therefore masturbation since most are not yet in relationships at this early age. By the time most males of earlier generations entered puberty and just started masturbating, males today are almost through it and have been masturbating regularly for years. Studies show the earlier you start the heavier you will practice it into adulthood.
Some say it is just natural evolution, that we have evolved into needing to ejaculate more often. Although I'm not so sure of this. However, primates and we do have larger, more active genitals and we are not subject to seasonal cycles like other a****ls. Our erections cum constantly and so we are ready and able, and always have the need to ejaculate. We ejaculate more often than any other a****ls and do it all season. We were indeed made to ejaculate often and at all times- that is true.
2) Societal factors:
As the misconceptions of masturbation have given way to sound data and understanding, we have latched more and more onto the benefits of it and so we masturbate more now. As a health conscience society, many have grabbed on hard to the health benefits of masturbation and are pumping it for all it's worth.
Better information and the rise and acceptance of LGBT and alternative lifestyles, have washed away many of the taboos we once held. This is demonstrated no better than in the acceptance of masturbation as a normal, healthy, activity. This has allowed us all to loosen up and give ourselves permission to grab on and masturbate more. The market for masturbation toys has exploded to the point owning one or more has become mainstream.
As the market for sex toys has exploded, so too has our use of them. All studies on the subject confirm that masturbation increases dramatically with the introduction of sex toys. It is analogous to jumping in the water- once your in, you accept it and allow yourself to indulge. For many, especially those without much sexual experience or with difficulty reaching orgasm, a sex toy significantly increases their pleasure for the first time. They quickly become regular users and, eventually, they progress into some of the most frequent masturbators.
Support groups have grown and this has helped many overcome guilt and increase their pleasure. The rise of the Internet has allowed us to realize we are not alone. It has allowed us to connect with others who have the same needs and desires and to give each other support and encouragement.
It has allowed many to experience mutual masturbation on a regular basis and learn much about their own cock and other's. Mutual masturbation is a strong, positive experience and helps us all start masturbating more often. For many, the support and friendship they develop is just as important as the ejaculations they enjoy. For this reason, they end up masturbating and ejaculating far more often then they would have on their own but eventually adjust to it and even grow to need it that often.
Masturbation no longer has the stigma it used to and, for many, it has become a legitimate hobby, even lifestyle. This has driven the sales of sex toys and porn, clubs, many collecting, discussing, sharing, buying in fun settings like passion parties. This has helped push the limits and barriers for ourselves and others. It has helped others who would normally not think much about masturbating, not take time out for it, to focus on it and make time. It helps give them permission to grab on and jerk off.
