Masturbation Benefits You Weren’t Taught | Natasha Helfer The Sex Mormon Therapist

What if everything you were taught about masturbation was rooted in shame, not science? In this candid, evidence-informed talk, a certified sex therapist unpacks how religious prohibitions—especially within high-demand faiths—fuel anxiety, secrecy, and dysfunction, and offers a clear, compassionate path to healing. You’ll learn why masturbation is not a moral failure but a legitimate tool for self-regulation, stress relief, and better sleep, and how it can actually improve partnered intimacy over time. Using the PEP Talk model—Permission, Education, Practice—you’ll get practical scripts to unlearn purity-culture messaging, rebuild body trust, and resensitize to pleasure. We cover mental and physical benefits, sexual function, relationship repairs, and a faith-friendly reframing of solo sexuality as sacred self-care. Major sexual-health organizations affirm masturbation as normal and healthy across the lifespan. We also show how “using masturbation to cope” is a feature, not a bug, for calming the nervous system—and how solo practice translates into better communication, confidence, and connection with a partner.
