“The subject has been taboo for a long time,” said Lieberman, “but the science is clear that orgasm through masturbation has many benefits for women, from stress relief to pain management.” At climax, the brain’s release of the neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine, and the hormone oxytocin, counters cortisol, a stress hormone. This triggers a number of positive effects for women, including mood elevation and an increased sense of security, relief from headaches and chronic pain, and improved quality of sleep.

Additionally, as women age, hormone levels decrease, and moisture is lost across the vaginal mucous membrane and external genitalia. “Reduced sexual activity can cause pelvic floor muscles and the vagina to become stiff which can lead to vaginal atrophy, urinary incontinence, painful intercourse, and pelvic organ prolapse,” explained Dr. Niwa Sakie, an obstetrics and gynecology specialist from Nagoya, Japan and director of Sakie Ladies Clinic who serves as an advisor to the Tasten Wellness founders. “In other words,” said Sakie, “masturbation is not just an act of seeking pleasure, but can also be said to be an act to prevent aging of the female body and maintaining female health.”

Citing a study conducted in Germany, Dr. Sakie further explained that orgasm through masturbation can help strengthen the immune system because white blood cell counts increase when measured before and after orgasm. “There was an increase in natural killer cells which help fight infections,” said Sakie.
