Although masturbation is often stigmatised, it can be beneficial to your mental and physical wellbeing, as well as eliminates risks of STIs and unintended pregnancies. Explore why masturbation can be a form of self-love within your sexual health journey. 

Solo sex is safe sex 

One of the most empowering aspects of masturbation is its safety. Unlike sex with a partner, where the risk of pregnancy and STIs exists, masturbation doesn’t pose these threats. It's essentially the safest form of sexual activity available. By choosing masturbation, you prioritise your health and eliminate the need for external protection methods. 

Overcoming taboos around shame and guilt 

Despite its benefits, masturbation is often associated with shame and guilt due to societal taboos and cultural norms. However, choosing #ForeverWena means choosing to embrace the concept of masturbation as a natural and healthy aspect of human sexuality. Everyone deserves to experience pleasure and satisfaction without feeling ashamed of their preferences. 

Celebrating self-love and sexual health 

Masturbation is not just about sexual pleasure; it's about self-love, empowerment, and prioritising your own well-being. By embracing solo sexual activity, you choose yourself, taking control of your body and your pleasure. Choose you, choose self-love, and choose sexual health.
