You heard that right. Masturbation is actually good for health. Its not just the men who enjoy the benefits of masturbating; it is the women too who gain a lot out of it. It is good for women's health to do so. The only thing that should be taken care of is that it should not become an obsessive disorder. If you are able to control that, then there is no harm in doing it.
In fact, many sexologists and clinicians believe that when a woman masturbates, it helps her know a lot more about her sexual behaviour and responses. During masturbation the fluid from the sexual glands help in increased circulation in these organs. Some women prefer to masturbate to ease their menstrual cramps.
