How are you guys going to celebrate masturbation month?

It's real just about doing something different.

Even if it's the top of mind and you masturbate three more times this month and last month, I'm fine.

You're listening to Sex with Emily. I'm Dr. Emily and I'm here to help you prioritize your pleasure and liberate the conversation around sex.

It is the most wonderful time of the year. It is masturbation May.

So, on today's show, I'm honoring a month of self-love by giving you a very brief history of the celebration,

the health benefits of masturbation and my favorite toys for bringing you pleasure all year long.

Plus, I'm answering your questions like what to do if you feel yourself relying too much on your vibrator.

Why masturbation may be your key to success if you keep orgasm blocking yourself in the bedroom, whether or not you're masturbating too much, and how to get rid of religious shame surrounding masturbation.

Intention with Emily for each episode join me in sending an intention. What do you want to get out of this episode?

Happy Master Beation Month. It's real. It's a thing I did not invent it. Let me just get that out of the way.

I wish I did. If I could have, I would have. But here's the history of Master Beation Month where it actually started in 1994.

Don't worry, this won't be too much history. We're going to get into Master Beation. But I do think this is interesting.
