Even If you didn't experience it, you must have noticed that there aren't many topics in our society that represent such a taboo as masturbation! Seriously, nobody wants to talk about it. Female masturbation, more precisely, has been incredibly stigmatized.  But then again, the system of male dominance doesn’t recognize women’s sexuality whatsoever.

When talking about the labels attached to masturbation, we get to hear the story that it is unhealthy, how it causes infertility, mental illness, etc. In the end it leaves you wondering is it wrong to satisfy yourself!? The truth is that masturbation is not only healthy and safe, but it is also totally normal. And no, it definitely won't make anyone blind, stupid, crazy, etc. On the contrary, it brings quite a lot of benefits. To break these ideas and introduce ways of masturbation, we talked with our friend, who is a psychologist and sometimes writes best dating sites review articles.

So what can you do?

Fortunately, there are plenty of DIY sex toys ideas that can help you when you are trying to manage a sexless marriage or looking for ways to satisfy yourself in a long-distance relationship or something third.
