Research on primates suggest the act of self-pleasure also reduces the risk of contracting STIs.

Masturbation could increase a male primate’s chances of having offspring, new research has suggested.

Lead researcher Dr Matilda Brindle said: “Our findings help shed light on a very common, but little understood, sexual behaviour and represent a significant advance in our understanding of the functions of masturbation.” Dr Brindle and her colleagues gathered information from 246 published academic papers and 150 questionnaires, with the aim to understand when and why masturbation evolved.Findings suggest masturbation was most likely present in the common ancestor of humans and all other primates.
