I recommend traditional remedies.


Treat your insomnia while also treating piles, constipation, nervousness, dyspepsia, headache, rheumatism, asthma, indigestion, eczema and much much more.

Weren't vibrators (the naughty kind, not for shoulders and necks) marketed the same way, such as curing hysteria?

So I went and Googled it and according to Wikipedia masturbation may:
- relieve depression
- lead to higher sense of self-esteem
- reduce the risk of prostate cancer
- improve fertility
- reduce chance of coronary heart disease
- reduces swollen nasal blood vessels to improve breathing (this may be the insomnia cure)
- provide a relaxed/contented state to help with sleep
- sort of count as a cardiovascular workout?!

So y'know... maybe.

I can confirm this one. Kinda freaked me out when I realized it, lol. Though honestly I think just getting horney might be enough to divert blood flow from swollen nasal passages, actually masturbating may be unnecessary. Somebody put in a grant proposal to study if edging can relieve seasonal allergy symptoms.

Suddenly the 'nurse fetish' makes a lot more sense.

The sex industry needs to be upgraded to be part of the medical association as a key component to good mental and physical health.

While you're there and on the subject, the entries for Ejaculation and Semen in the Lamest Edit Wars catalogue are worth reading for a good chuckle. That page is a treasure.

Oh wow that's a trip.
