Over 95% of men and between 56 and 89% of women masturbate at some point in our lives. Masturbation is often our first introduction to sexual pleasure and self-soothing. Here are some of the benefits of masturbation, as established by research studies. Masturbation Lowers the Risk of Prostate Cancer 1. Masturbation Protects against Prostate Cancer. Men who masturbate more than 5 times a week in their 20's are 33% less likely to develop the most aggressive form of prostate cancer later in life.
