About this listen

 Masturbation is something most of us do, but almost no one talks about. Is it healthy? Can it improve your sex life? Or could it quietly be getting in the way of intimacy? In this episode of Doing Sex, Sahar sits down with Danielle Bezalel (DB), host of Sex Ed with DB and public-health researcher, to talk about the science of self-pleasure, myth-busting decades of shame and misinformation along the way. DB shares what led her to turn her own masturbation habits into an actual research study, starting with a three-week personal experiment that later became a large-scale scientific project with legendary sex-toy brand Magic Wand. Together, they unpack how masturbation affects stress, sleep, mood, desire, and relationships and why we might need to start thinking of self-please as self-care. From sex toys and fantasy to guilt, gender gaps, and communication with partners, this conversation explores what really happens when we stop whispering about pleasure and start being honest about it.
