Apart from masturbation helping in relieving stress, period cramps, and preventing prostate cancer, a new survey by Univia says that people who masturbate regularly have more probability of holding managerial positions at the workplace.

The survey was done on 1,012 people to study their masturbation habits and jobs. And, the researchers found that people who masturbated on a regular basis, a minimum of once a week, were more likely to do well at the workplace.

The study also said that the number of people who masturbated regularly held high management positions and also earned better. It further says that people who masturbated on a regular basis were 8 percent more likely to ask for a hike in salary.

Univia said: “The boost in self-confidence that masturbation was previously shown to cause may be one major contributor to higher paychecks, for it can take a certain amount of confidence and bravery to ask your boss for a raise.

“In other words, masturbation may be correlating with the self-confidence boost needed to ask your supervisor to pay for what you deserve.”

Besides a survey from Univia, recent research from Harvard University revealed that men who masturbated more had lowered chances of prostate cancer. The study also said that men who have 21 or more orgasms per month could cut down the prostate cancer risk by 33 percent.

Masturbation is known for alleviating tension, increase blood flow, enhance sleep quality, improve the ability to concentrate, improve mood and also improve sex life.
