Looking for something to pass the time when you’re in coronavirus isolation?
Masturbation is bound to make your day more pleasurable – and it can have health benefits too.
The most obvious bonus is its mood boosting qualities.
Your body releases endorphins after orgasm, working to keep you feeling happy.
And that’s not all, a self love session could boost your immune system too.
While this won’t necessarily protect you from COVID-19, it may reduce your chances of falling ill.
Dr Jennifer Landam, a hormone therapy specialist, believes that pleasuring yourself can strengthen the body’s natural defences.
This theory is echoed by a study carried out by the Department of Medical Psychology at the University Clinic of Essen in Germany.
Researchers tracked the impact of masturbation on 11 volunteers.
They measured participants’ white blood cell count before and after climax.
Results showed an increase in these infection-fighting cells following orgasm.
So how often should you be riding solo?
Previously, Daily Star Online caught up with a sex scientist to find out how much masturbation we should all be having.
And according to Dr Nicole Prause, the more we're enjoying the better.

Actually, you lose a day's worth of zinc each time you rub one out. Zinc boosts both your immune system and your libido (oysters, right?), so it's an either/or proposition.

They can reopen the clubs! As long as the dancers are willing to jerk me off while I chew on a zinc lozenger, I should be fine.

So I guess the takeaway is to slap-the-monkey then have a stake afterwards
