Sexpert recommends pleasuring yourself three times a week 'to live longer'

sex expert says this is because achieving orgasm through masturbation sends a rush of "feel-good" hormones around the body that can have a ton of positive effects.Those hormones released include oxytocin, otherwise known as the love hormone; serotonin, the happiness hormone; and dopamine, the pleasure hormone.In fact, Brame says having an orgasm is the biggest non-drug-induced blast of dopamine a person can experience.The doctor said that just like brushing your teeth, you should make masturbation a regular part of your personal care routine."Masturbation sends you a drug cocktail of really happy drugs - the kind that you actually cannot buy from a dealer, nor can your doctor prescribe them, because some chemicals we cannot yet pharmaceutically reproduce," the doctor told Fabulous."So when it comes to psychological things like stress, anxiety, even trauma, depression, and low-energy moods, an orgasm really fills you with this self-produced lovely combination of chemicals that make it feel as though life is worth living."Dr.

Brame, a former English teacher and Wall Street analyst, also said that ejaculation decreases levels of cortisol in the body, which is well known as the stress-inducing hormone.Off-setting cortisol levels by increasing oxytocin and dopamine in the body helps to boost your immune system, because cortisol helps maintain your immune system when released in small doses.Masturbation can also encourage the right kind of environment for a strengthened immune system to thrive, according to studies.A 2004 study carried by the Department of Medical Psychology at the University Clinic of Essen found that masturbation boosted white blood cell levels post-orgasm.A group of 11 men had their white blood cell counts.
