Ever heard that masturbation will make you go blind? That it’s “only for single people”? Or that if you use a vibrator too much, your body will forget how to orgasm on its own?

Yep. Same. 🙄

Masturbation has been wrapped in myth, guilt, and awkward silence for way too long – and it’s time we clear the air. Whether you're curious, confused, or already a self-pleasure pro, this blog is here to bust the biggest myths and give you the real, stigma-free truth about solo play.

Let’s talk facts, bodies, good vibes (literally), and why self-love isn’t just normal –it’s awesome.

Myth #1: “Masturbation is bad for your health”

Let’s start here because this one is still floating around like it’s 1950. The truth? Masturbation is actually good for your health.

Studies show solo play can:

• Reduce stress and anxiety

• Help you sleep better

• Improve focus and mood

• Even ease cramps and tension

Masturbation releases feel-good hormones like dopamine and oxytocin. It's basically nature’s built-in stress relief button – with zero side effects (unless you count a happy glow and a nap after).

Myth #2: “People in relationships don’t need to masturbate”

Raise your hand if you’ve ever felt weird about masturbating while in a relationship. Spoiler alert: solo play doesn’t mean something’s wrong. It doesn’t mean you're bored, broken, or unsatisfied. It means you're a human with a body that enjoys pleasure – alone and with a partner.

Many couples even say masturbation improves their sex life. Why? Because you learn what feels good. That self-knowledge makes communication in the bedroom so much better.

Pro Tip: Want to take it further? Try the Tri-It Charged Vibe. Three points of contact = triple the fun. Perfect solo or as a warm-up before partner play.

Myth #3: “Masturbation will ruin your sensitivity”

If you've ever worried that using a vibrator might “desensitize” you, here's the deal: your body isn’t broken. You're just experiencing pleasure differently.

Think of it like your favorite song – if you only listen to one part over and over, it might lose its spark. Mix it up! Use your hands, change positions, add lube, try a different toy, take a break. You're in charge.

Also? Vibrators don’t numb you. They stimulate you. And you can absolutely keep enjoying all kinds of orgasms – toy or no toy.

Need a vibe that gets you? The Charged Positive Vibe has 20 vibration settings (yes, 20) and a soft-touch surface that glides like magic.

Myth #4: “It’s just a guy thing”

Please. Masturbation is for everyone. Women, nonbinary folks, people with vulvas, people with penises – if you’ve got a body, chances are it can feel good.

The only reason people think this is a “guy thing” is because women were told to hide their pleasure. But that’s changing. Big time. In fact, one study found that over 85% of women masturbate regularly.

Exploring your own vibe? The Primo G-Spot Vibrator has a broad head for deeper stimulation. Great for learning what feels really good – inside or out.

Myth #5: “You don’t need lube unless you’re older”

Lube is not about age – it’s about comfort and better pleasure. And yes, everyone can benefit from lube.

Even if you’re naturally lubricated, adding a little extra can:

• Enhance sensation

• Reduce friction (especially with toys)

• Make everything smoother and more comfortable

Some people even say it helps them orgasm faster. Just make sure you’re using the right kind for your play.

Pro tip: Use a water-based lube with toys or silicone-based for longer sessions like this one. Bonus: both are body-safe and super slick.

Myth #6: “You should feel guilty for masturbating”

Let’s be very clear here: shame doesn’t belong in your bedroom. Or your shower. Or wherever you do your thing.

Masturbation isn’t gross, wrong, or dirty. It’s one of the most natural ways to connect with yourself. It’s self-care. It’s stress relief. It’s joy. And guess what? You don’t owe anyone an explanation for doing it.

Whether you do it daily, occasionally, or never at all – it’s your body. Your choice.

Myth #7: “You don’t need toys”

Okay sure, you can masturbate without toys. But why not make it more fun?

Toys bring variety, deeper sensations, and help you discover new kinds of pleasure. They're also great for exploring different erogenous zones you might not have tried before.

Just getting started?

• Try the Primo Rabbit for blended pleasure – vibration + clit ears.

• Guys, check out the Jackits Throttle Stroker – stretchy, soft, and great with lube.

• Want to go longer? Dynamo Delay Spray or Climax Cream can help slow things down.

Myth #8: “You’ll get addicted”

Nope. You can’t get physically addicted to masturbation.

What can happen is you use it as a coping mechanism (like stress eating or doom scrolling). But that’s not addiction – that’s habit. And it’s totally manageable.

The key? Be intentional. Masturbate because you want to – not because you’re avoiding something else.

Myth #9: “It’s just about orgasms”

This one’s worth pausing on. Masturbation isn’t just about climax – it’s about connection. With yourself. With your desires. With what your body is capable of feeling.

Sometimes the goal isn’t to finish. Sometimes it’s to unwind. Sometimes it’s to fall asleep smiling. Sometimes it’s a 5-minute stress relief between Zoom calls. It’s all valid.

Pleasure isn’t a race. It’s an experience.

Final Thoughts: Your Body, Your Rules

Masturbation isn’t weird, shameful, or dangerous. It’s normal. It’s healthy. And it’s yours.

Don’t let outdated myths steal your joy. Explore. Learn. Touch. Laugh. Breathe. And if you want a little help along the way – there’s a whole world of tools, toys, and vibes to make your solo time even better.

Whether it’s a first-time sleeve, a deep rumbly G-spot vibe, or just a really good bottle of lube – pleasure is your birthright.

And it’s never been this fun.
