There are some who call in natural and others who think that masturbation is the root of all evil, but there are some things which we are sure of. The first thing is that everybody does it.

Masturbation has also been found to be good for your health contrary to the urban myth spread about that doing so would cause someone to go blind as masturbation and orgasm will release happy toxins into your blood stream that improve your mood.
