Masturbation Should Be Required To Be Taught In School

Masturbation is going to happen for a majority of males and females, since it's a natural process of life. Not only this, but it offers many benefits and would be very beneficial to teach at a young age to children, in order to ensure they understand it fully before attempting, and also understand all that comes with it. It's because of this, I stand in firm affirmation of the resolution which stands, resolved: Masturbation should be required to be taught in school. In order to prove that masturbation should be taught in schools, I'll provide the following three contentions. Contention 1: Masturbation Helps Reduce The Risk Of Cancer In order to truly understand why masturbation should be taught in schools, we must focus on one of the major health benefits of masturbation, which is helping reduce the risk of prostate cancer. Australian researchers researched over 1,000 men with prostate cancer and 1,250 men without, between the ages of 20 to 50. These men were questioned about their sexual habits. The results showed that those who ejaculated more frequently were the least likeliest to develop cancer, specifically men who ejaculated more than five times a week were a third less likely to develop prostate cancer life. [1] What has to be seen from this is that masturbation is an effective tool in reducing a risk that currently has a new case every 2.3 minutes, and kills a man every 16 minutes.[2] If students were to learn about this potential health benefits of masturbation, they'd be more aware of how to be less likely to get cancer. No where would they be forced to masturbate if they felt uncomfortable, but they would at least know that it would in fact help prevent a very serious cancer. Contention 2: Masturbation Ups Your Immunity Another major health benefit that comes from masturbation is helping boost your immune system in both males and females. When you ejaculate, the hormone cortisol is increased in your body. Cortisol levels being increased can help regulate and maintain your immune system. Masturbation can can product the right environment for a strengthened immune system.[3] This health benefit may be small, but it's outcomes will have a huge impact on health. With masturbation your increasing the strength of your immune system which ultimately results in a healthier you. Students should be informed of this. Contention 3: Masturbation Also Offers Other, Smaller, Benefits. The benefits of masturbation are not only limited to health. There are many physical benefits of course, but there are also sexual and mental benefits as well. Benefits that come from masturbation include: a created sense of well-being, enhanced sex with partner, it helps you learn how you liked to be touched, it helps lead too the increased ability to have orgasms, it helps improve relationship and sexual satisfactions, it improves sleep, it improves your self-esteem and body image, it provides sexual pleasure of those without partners, it provides sexual pleasure of those who abstain from sex play with another person, it reduces stress, it release sexual tension, it relieves menstrual cramps, and reduces women's chances of involuntary urine leakage and uterine prolapse.[4]. Masturbation is a natural process of life for a majority of males and females, and we do a disservice to them by not helping them better understand all that comes with masturbation. Because of the pure fact alone that masturbation is a natural process of life, it should be taught in schools. Regardless, I have provided 3 key reasons that should also prove that masturbation needs to be taught in schools. The benefits of masturbation, whether it be reducing cancer or helping you sleep, are to large to not inform the younger generation who might be contemplating starting. It's because of this, I can see no other vote than in the affirmative side. [1] http://news.bbc.co.uk... [2] http://www.pcf.org... [3] http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com...
