Whether you are masturbating with our creative male sex toys or stroking with your hands : you might be masturbating at the wrong time of day. I know, I know – that sounds ridiculous, because we’re talking about masturbation here, which doesn’t seem to require a lot of planning. But, according to science, there is a specific time of day that you should be masturbating that might make it even better. I’ll break it down for you: the best time of day for you to masturbate is at night.

I know, you might have that feeling that you wanna do it at different times of the day, but hear me out. There is a very specific reason for why you should be masturbating before bed and not in the morning, and it’s important.

Not to get all sciencey on you, but there are a lot of side effects of masturbating. Not bad ones, of course, since masturbating is good for you and you should totally do it. But, it does affect your brain in a certain way. One way is by making you tired. When you masturbate, your brain releases a ton of chemicals. Some of them make you happy, others make you feel good, but one in particular make you tired AF, and that one is oxytocin

It can make you feel REALLY good, but it also has a sort of sedative-like effect that can put you in a sleepy-post orgasm trance that will make you feel like you don’t want to move. This means that after you masturbate, your body actually really wants  and needs rest. It’s kind of like why people always seem to fall asleep after having sex. Masturbating and sex in general can make you very tired, which is why you want to doze off

Obviously, it’s not terrible to masturbate during the day, but having an orgasm can do really weird things to your body, like make you tired and also make you temporarily lose your memory.Okay, that isn’t SUPER common,. So, it’s the best idea for you to masturbate when you’ve got nothing important to remember AKA, not before school or work.

Just sit back, relax, and make a night of it when you’re ~feelin yourself~. It will be worth it to wait until the night time, trust me.
