Idiosyncratic Masturbation
This happens when your body has become so accustomed to how you masturbate, that when you’re with your partner, you might struggle to climax because your partner may not be able to recreate the exact sensation that works when you’re alone.
If you find that’s the case, then I suggest experimenting with new self-love methods.

Limit Infections
“For women, masturbation can help prevent cervical infections and urinary tract infections through the process of “tenting,” or the opening of the cervix that occurs as part of the arousal process.
Tenting stretches the cervix, and thus the cervical mucous. This enables fluid circulation, allowing cervical fluids full of bacteria to be flushed out.”

1,000 vs. 10,000 Rubs
The Japanese word for male masturbation is “Senzuri”, which translates to “a thousand rubs”.
The Japanese word for female masturbation is “Shiko Shiko Manzuri”, which means “ten thousand rubs”.
This makes me wonder if this refers to the amount of rubs needed, the length of time enjoying self-love, or possible multiple orgasms. So many possibilities!
