Although scientific studies prove that masturbation enhances orgasm, promotes sexual pleasure and has various health benefits, celebrity healer Gogo Maweni is of the view that it should not be normal for women.
Maweni says the habit attracts bad spirits.
Masturbation is defined as a common activity that involves touching the genitals or other sensitive areas of the body for sexual arousal and pleasure.
“Masturbation is not normal, especially for women, because you are making love to a spirit and that spirit is living off your energies,” said Maweni.
Maweni said you can have the urge to masturbate only once in a blue moon, but not every day. She said it’s a myth that people feel energized after masturbation. She also said masturbating everyday will keep you from having a man.
“If you keep masturbating every day, you will struggle to have a real relationship with a man,” said Maweni.
“You won’t be able to keep a man because that spirit that you have sex with won’t let you go. You are attracting a dark cloud and you need to eradicate the spirits that are surrounding you.”
Despite certain myths, there are actually no physically harmful side-effects of masturbation.
Sometimes, excessive or compulsive masturbation may be considered harmful or lead to other mental health concerns.
According to a 2015 study of married women, those who masturbated reported experiencing more orgasms, higher self-esteem, increased sexual desire, and greater satisfaction with their marriage and sex lives.
At some point couples also mutually masturbate to explore different desires, as well as to avoid pregnancy.
Self-pleasuring, when compared with partnered sex, also helps one prevent sexually transmitted infections.
For pregnant women, masturbation is a safe way to release sexual tension. It may also help ease pregnancy symptoms such as lower back pain.
