Queensland Health has caused a stir after encouraging the population to “give yourself a hand” – and embrace masturbation.
In a new Facebook post, Queensland Health explains that “masturbation is a normal and healthy part of a person’s sexual experience and a great way to discover what you are comfortable with”.
“The best part is, it’s for everyone — and also offers a wealth of health and sexual health benefits!
“It’s important for us all to work towards normalising sex-positive messages about masturbation to reduce associated feelings of shame and fear, and improve overall sexual health and literacy.”
The post also includes a link to a more detailed article, which includes information about “stigmas” as well as advice for parents and carers to help them talk to their children about masturbation.
