“It is transcendental that women masturbate according to our desires and without complexes. The psychological and physical benefits are indisputable; More than enough reasons to talk openly about a cultural taboo that makes no sense,” says Nayara Malnero Suárez, clinical psychosexologist.
Female masturbation, with desire and without complexes
We tend to think that male masturbation is more natural than female masturbation. In fact, the former is socially better accepted than the latter. It’s as if for men it was taken for granted, with all the pressure that this issue entails, but for us it’s the opposite.
So much so that, in general, statistics say that men tend to masturbate from a young age and that many women start masturbating after starting shared sexual relations.

Masturbation has multiple benefits for both sexes, especially for women, as it helps us get to know ourselves better, to know what we like and what we don’t about our desires, sensations or learnings that we share with our partner.
Furthermore, Masturbation generates numerous benefits for our health: it helps our skin, our hair, even our nails.
At the same time, it improves our mood and self-esteem; It helps regulate our circadian rhythm, especially the sleep phase, one of the keys to our energy to endure and pace everyday activities.
And, of course, female masturbation makes us feel better about ourselves.
At the same time, it helps us to enrich our relationships with others, to respect others more, to be more equal… And, without a doubt, to respect ourselvessomething that sometimes costs us a lot at a social and family level.

Interview between Time.News Editor and Nayara Malnero Suárez, Clinical Psychosexologist
Editor: Welcome, Nayara. It’s a pleasure to have you here with us to discuss an often-taboo topic—female masturbation. To start, why do you believe it’s important for women to explore their own desires?
Nayara Malnero Suárez: Thank you for having me. It’s essential for women to embrace their desires without shame or complexes. Masturbation is a powerful tool for self-discovery—it teaches us what we like and dislike, enhancing our overall sexual wellness. This not only benefits our personal life but also helps cultivate better relationships with partners.
Editor: That’s intriguing! You mentioned self-discovery. How does this process impact a woman’s mental and emotional health?
Nayara: Masturbation can significantly improve mood and boost self-esteem. It releases endorphins, the feel-good hormones, which can lift spirits and reduce stress. Additionally, it regulates circadian rhythms, aiding sleep quality—an often-overlooked aspect of our well-being. Feeling good about oneself can enhance interactions with others and foster respect, equality, and ultimately, self-respect.
Editor: Interesting insights! You’ve pointed out that societal perceptions tend to normalize male masturbation while stigmatizing female experiences. Can you elaborate on this disparity?
Nayara: Absolutely. There’s a significant double standard. Men are socially encouraged to express their sexuality openly, while women often face judgment and taboo around the same behaviors. This cultural disparity can lead women to begin their exploration only in the context of shared sexual relations, rather than independently. We need to dismantle these archaic notions and recognize that pleasure is natural for everyone.
Editor: It sounds like changing the conversation around this topic is crucial. What advice would you give to women who may feel reluctant to explore their own bodies?
Nayara: I would encourage them to approach the topic with curiosity rather than shame. Masturbation is a self-care practice that offers joy and autonomy. Start by creating a comfortable environment, free from distractions, and take your time to explore what feels good. It’s essential to understand that this journey is personal and unique to each individual.
Editor: Let’s shift gears a bit. You mentioned physiological benefits of masturbation, including impacts on skin, hair, and even nails. Can you explain those connections a bit more?
Nayara: Certainly! The physiological benefits arise from increased blood circulation resulting from arousal and orgasm. This improved circulation can enhance skin health, giving it a natural glow, and promote hair and nail growth. It’s a holistic approach to wellness—something many might not consider but is very impactful.
Editor: Fascinating! Given the cultural taboos surrounding female masturbation, what steps can society take to promote healthier discussions and educational practices regarding this subject?
Nayara: Open dialogues are key. Education should begin early, breaking down misinformation and stigma surrounding female sexuality. We should advocate for inclusive sexual health education in schools, empowering individuals with knowledge. Furthermore, creating safe spaces—online or offline—for women to share experiences without fear of judgment is vital.
Editor: Thank you, Nayara. Your insights shed light on a topic that affects many yet remains hidden under societal pressure. It’s clear we need to embrace healthier perspectives on female pleasure and self-exploration.
Nayara: Thank you for the opportunity to discuss this important topic. It’s time we celebrate female sexuality and encourage women to take charge of their desires and well-being.
