Regardless of relationship status, masturbation is known to aid cardiovascular wellness.
Plenty of research has demonstrated the physical and emotional benefits of the sexual activity inherent to a monogamous relationship. However, a significant percentage of adults do not have a safe, sexual partner. According to a previous U.S. Census, 95.7 million Americans aged 15 and over identified as unmarried or single. It is easy to assume that these individuals are disadvantaged when it comes to the physical benefits of being in an adult, romantic relationship. Fortunately, you don’t need a partner to profit from sex’s cardiovascular advantages.
Shrouded with a negative connotation by some cultures and religions, masturbation is the self-stimulation of the genitals to achieve sexual arousal and pleasure. Because of the guilt and shame commonly linked to masturbation, it is seldom discussed in the health arena. Despite it being a relatively taboo topic, masturbation is a very common behavior that can enhance heart health – even among those who are in a sexually active, committed relationship:
Heart disease describes any disorder of the cardiovascular system (the heart and blood vessels) that affects the heart’s ability to function normally. Often the result of poor eating habits, stress and a sedentary lifestyle, heart disease has emerged as one of our nation’s top concerns. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, heart disease has been the leading cause of death in the United States for the past 80 years and affects approximately 61 million Americans.
In hopes of reducing its incidence and corresponding mortality, our healthcare system has turned to practicing cardiovascular disease prevention. While cardiovascular disease cannot be prevented in every case, the National Institutes of Health indicates that the following seven measures may help to reduce its risk:
Since two common cardiovascular disease-preventing goals include lowering blood pressure and managing stress through relaxation, most healthcare providers would advise their patients to engage in activities that accomplish these two feats.
Sexual health advocates maintain a wide range of physical and emotional benefits from solo sex. When considering the cardiovascular system, masturbation’s ability to lower blood pressure and enhance relaxation make it a top choice for heart health.
An ideal way to practice cardiovascular wellness, anyone who does not suffer from masturbation-associated shame or guilt can indulge in solo sex (as long as it is appropriate and not harmful). As soon as our society lets go of the attitude that touching oneself is forbidden, people can single-handedly lower their blood pressure and achieve relaxation whether they are in a loving, committed relationship or not.

SOLO sexual activities are the only safe way to have sex during the coronavirus pandemic, explicit government guidance has revealed.
Experts suggest "mutual masturbation" and the use of face masks when engaging in bedroom activities with a sexual partner.
⚠️ Read our coronavirus live blog for the latest news & updates
The advice was issued by the state government in New South Wales, Australia.
Published on the "Play Safe" portal, people are urged to take extra precautions and have been told to avoid kissing.
It states you should "minimise" your sexual partners but added that sex with someone you live with is "probably ok".
The guidance also states that the only "truly safe" method of sex during this time is to go it alone.
It states: “Sadly, sex with someone outside of your household or bubble still carries risk and is not recommended due to the 1.5 metre physical distancing in place.”
The Play Safe portal includes information on how you should have sex during the coronavirus pandemic and information on other topics such as sexually transmitted diseases.
Chief health officer Kerry Chant said New South Wales Health said advice on sex had been "tailored" since the start of the pandemic.
She added: “We‘ve incorporated Covid advice within the context about STIs … advice for young people.
“I‘m very proud of the work that we’ve done with our partner agencies, and our young people network to inform some of the content on that website", she told The Daily Telegraph in Sydney.
Guidance in New South Wales currently states that all indoor premises are restricted to one person per four square metres.
However restrictions here mean that weddings of 100 people can take place, subject to the four square metre rule.
In the UK a national lockdown means that you can't meet anyone indoors who isn't part of your household, or who isn't in your social bubble.
Charities in the UK have previously published advice on how to safely have sex during the pandemic and some agree that going solo is the safest way to have intercourse during periods of national lockdowns.
The Terrence Higgins Trust advised that you should chose sexual positions that weren't face to face.
They stated: "Your best sexual partner during the Covid-19 pandemic is yourself or someone within your household and you should follow the government guidelines about social distancing, hand washing and face coverings."
The coronavirus can be passed through saliva so if you're kissing your partner and have the virus it could be passed on.
A previous study revealed that men could still transmit the bug to their partner through sex, as it was shown that some who had recovered still had coronavirus in their semen .
Researchers in China analysed samples from 38 men who had contracted Covid-19 - 23 of whom had recovered - with tests revealing that six of them had the infection in their sperm, including two that had gotten over the illness.
Meanwhile, sex with new people is still advised against at this time - with travelling to meet sexual partners against the government's lockdown advice.
You can have sex with the person who have made part of your support bubble.
When you make a support bubble with someone you can class yourselves as being from the same household.
Guidance from the UK government states: "You can have close contact with the other household in your bubble as if they were members of your own household.
"This means you do not need to maintain social distance with people in your support bubble."
Experts have also warned that several people who have the virus may not show any symptoms and could easily spread it to others.
Additionally, the general advice is for people to stay at home as much as possible, only going out for essentials such as groceries and medication.

Love & Sex
How you do it: Lie on the bed on your stomach and place a pillow or two below your stomach and hips. Use your hands or a toy (or both!) between your body and the pillow to rev things up.
Why it’s awesome: “ The pillows angle your hips up, which opens up new sensations . It also uses the tension of your leg muscles, which can feel very different for you,” Katz says.
How you do it: Sit on a chair that doesn’t have arms, like a dining room or folding chair. Tuck your feet and ankles around the chair legs, leaving your legs open.
Why it’s awesome: “ It provides much more access to all of the delicious bits between your legs, and when you climax, you can brace your legs against the chair legs. By exposing more parts of your vulva, you will experience some new — and sometimes even more intense — sensations than you usually do,” Katz says.
How you do it: In the shower, place one foot on the side of the tub or shower seat, allowing full open access to your vulva. (If you don’t have anything to prop your foot on, simply lean back against a wall and move one knee to the side.) Use your fingers or use the removable showerhead stream to tease, or pick up your favorite water-resistant vibrator for guaranteed orgasms. Or rotate among all three!
Why it’s awesome: “Masturbating while standing is an awesome position style that too many women ignore,” says Sadie Allison, Ph.D., author of Tickle Your Fancy: A Woman’s Guide to Self-Pleasure . “The Leg Shaver not only gives you great access to your vulva and vagina, but it also lends itself to a little leg and core muscle toning, as you need to work a little harder to keep your body weight vertical. This, in turn, naturally flexes your pelvic floor muscles, offering more sensation to the ‘feel-good’ nerves in your genitals’ erectile tissue.”
How you do it: Start on your knees on the bed (or another comfortable surface) , with your body upright. Spread them as much or as little as you’d like, so it is comfortable for you. You can modify it however you would like. Lean back and support yourself on one arm, or lean forward or even up against a wall.
Why it’s awesome: “Because you can modify this in so many ways — changing angles, using multiple toys for penetration and/or external stimulation — you can discover new spots and new things that get your motor going. Leaning forward and back can provide new sensations, and it allows you to open up the rest of your body for exploration and play with your fingers, toys, even nipple clamps. Experiment and have fun,” Katz says.
How you do it: Lie on your stomach and grind your pelvic bone and clitoris against a hand or a vibrating toy beneath you.
Why it’s awesome: “The weight of your body adds extra friction against the hood of your clitoris, and the back-and-forth grinding strokes the shaft of your clitoris as it becomes erect,” O’Reilly says.
How you do it: Kneel on the floor or bed with your knees wide open so that you can press your vaginal lips against a firm surface (your hands, the mattress, a pillow or a toy) beneath you.
Why it’s awesome: “You can rock back and forth, slide forward and backward, or roll the hips in a circular fashion according to your own preferences,” O’Reilly says. “In this position, the extra blood flow to your pelvic region can help with both arousal and orgasm.”

Why should couples get to have all the fun with new sex positions? When you’re solo and feeling amorous, try one (or two) of these twists on your usual self-love routine.
Testing out new masturbation techniques by yourself will score you two very important sexual health benefits that go beyond simply having a new kind of O (though getting off is pretty important, we have to admit):
First, you’ll get more orgasms in the long run — and hotter sex if getting it on with your long-term partner has become a snooze.
“Women who masturbate are more likely to have orgasms during partnered sex, and we believe that this finding is related to an increase in comfort and knowledge with regard to her body,” says Jessica O’Reilly, Ph.D., author of The Little Book of Kink . “By experimenting with different pos
