Masturbation is a common habit among many men, serving as an effective way to release sexual desires and alleviate stress when there is no sexual partner. However, excessive masturbation can have significant negative impacts on physical health. So, why do many men, even with a normal sex life, still engage in masturbation?
Why do some men still masturbate despite having a normal sex life?
1、The influence of morning erections
Normal men often experience morning erections when they wake up, which naturally leads to heightened sexual arousal. If the female partner is not interested in having sex at that time, many men may resort to masturbation to satisfy their urges. This is a primary reason why some men choose to masturbate in the morning—driven by the effects of morning erections.
2、Testing sexual function
Some men masturbate not because of morning erections but due to the absence of them. They are eager to prove that their sexual ability remains unaffected and that their sexual function is still strong. This behavior is psychologically driven and relatively normal.
3、Reluctance to have sex with their spouse
Some men, despite having a sex life, still masturbate because they are unwilling to engage in sexual activity with their spouse. As the years of marriage increase, the sense of novelty and passion between partners diminishes. Additionally, with age, men's sexual desires may decline, leading to difficulties in sexual performance and conflicts in the relationship. Therefore, some men choose masturbation as a way to release their desires, as sexual fantasies can vary each time, providing a sense of freshness. However, this is not a healthy behavior, and it is better to reestablish a harmonious sexual relationship with one's spouse.
4、Relieving stress
As men age, the pressures they face also increase. Being at a stage where they have to support both their parents and children, the burden of responsibility can become overwhelming. If this stress is not relieved in time, it can lead to a range of health issues. Engaging in sexual activity may add more pressure, as men may worry about factors like the duration of ejaculation or whether their partner is satisfied. Masturbation, on the other hand, offers a much more relaxed experience, as it is solely for oneself, helping to alleviate the stress from life and work.
The reasons why some men still choose to masturbate despite having a normal sex life are multifaceted. Understanding and tolerance, along with open communication, are essential for fostering a happier and more fulfilling life.
