1. No Spread of STDs/STIs
Masturbation involves no STD/STI transmission. How can there be? A transmission REQUIRES two or more people. Although it is possible for a pathogen in one location of the body to be "transmitted" to another, that is not called or recognized as an "STD transmission". And if you are a virgin, then you can masturbate all you want without any worries about contracting STDs!
2. No Chance of Pregnancy In Any Way
You need a person with a fully functional male reproductive system and a person with a fully functional female reproductive system to make a baby. It is impossible to self-fertilize. Humans are born as male or as female, not male AND female. Humans are not hermaphroditic (though, that would be kind of cool). Intersex people are not hermaphrodites, because to be a hermaphrodite, you need functional male and female reproductive organs.
3. You Know Yourself
You know yourself. You know what your body likes and dislikes. You know what pleasures you and what hurts you. You know when to stop, when to move forward, what to do next, etc. These feelings are locked inside your brain, and only you have the key to access them.
4. No Hurt Feelings
You know yourself well enough that you will not hurt yourself. No one is hurt during masturbation. No regrets either.
5. No Need To Ask For Consent; You Just Do It
Before, during, and after partnered sex, you have to communicate to your partner. Failure of communication or misinterpretation of behaviors or words can get you in trouble by the law. If you are masturbating, then you have no one but yourself to ask, and asking yourself whether you want to touch here or there sounds a bit silly. You either do it or don't. Don't overthink this. Masturbation is not rocket science.
6. Best Way To Relieve Sexual Urges
Masturbation is the safest form of experiencing sexual pleasure. No physical, emotional, or spiritual harm will come afterwards, because no one except you knows what you're doing in your bedroom under the bed covers. You receive the pleasures of sex (orgasm) without the drama or the hassle of dealing with STDs/STIs, pregnancies, regrets, or spiritual death.
