Week Without Masturbation Leads to Depression and Stress

July 12, 2025

Scientists have proven that abstinence is harmful to mental health. Participants in the study were given personal vibrators and asked to monitor their quality of life over 3 weeks. They had to alternate a week of abstinence with a week of daily use of sex toys. Result: A week without pleasure caused deterioration in all life indicators - happiness, body perception, self-confidence, and socialization. Conversely, daily use helped to cope with stress, improve relationships with partners, and regain interest in everyday activities.
