301. Masturbation: Myths, Shame, and What the Research Says

Masturbation can bring up a lot of shame, fear, and conflicting messages about what is healthy or acceptable. In this episode, I explore the research and common myths surrounding masturbation, including why it’s important to understand the difference between the behavior itself and the distress you may feel about it.

I explain what the research says about masturbation, when it can become harmful, and how misinformation and sexual shame can shape the way you think about your sexuality. We’ll also explore how religious beliefs, guilt, and black-and-white thinking can influence your experience, and why you get to make your own decisions about your body and sexual behavior.
