Thanks to one of our favorite sex advice columnists, Dr. Dick, of Dr. Dick's Sex Advice blog, for highlighting this article from MetroUK, and providing even more reason to keep on strokin'!
Metro UK writer Ellen Scott says:
There’s no shame in masturbating.
It’s a stress reliever, it’s the only form of entirely safe sex, and, as new research notes, it might actually make you better at sex with another person.
Sex toy brand Tenga have revealed that men who masturbate weekly are 10% more confident in their own sexual performance than those who masturbate less often.
Men who masturbate weekly or more often are also 12% more satisfied with the quality of their orgasm, and 6% more confident in their own body.
Tenga surveyed 2,000 UK men for the results, asking them about their solo sex habits and their experiences with other people.
They found that 96% of British men masturbate, and that the average person discovers masturbation at age 15. The top three reasons why we masturbate are to achieve pleasure, to relieve sexual tensions, and to de-stress. Other popular reasons include to aid sleep, to deal with boredom, their partner isn’t up for sex, and to help improve sexual performance.

Of course, this study only shows a positive correlation between masturbation and improved sexual satisfaction and confidence in your own body. What’s not clear is a cause and effect relationship.
It’s possible that men who are more sexually confident are more comfortable masturbating more, or that men who are comfortable in their bodies tend to be more open to exploring themselves sexually, rather than the other way round.
