  • Is Masturbation Healthy?

You may have heard some crazy things about masturbation being bad for you, like it makes you grow hair in weird places; it causes infertility; it shrinks your genitals; or once you start masturbating you’ll become addicted to it. None of that’s true. Masturbation isn’t unhealthy or bad for you at all. Masturbation can actually be good for your health, both mentally and physically. And it’s pretty much the safest sex out there — there’s no risk of getting pregnant or getting an STD.

When you have an orgasm, your body releases endorphins, which are hormones that block pain and make you feel good. The good feelings that come with an orgasm happen whether you’re masturbating or having sex.

Plenty of research has shown the health benefits of masturbation. Masturbation can:

  • release sexual tension

  • reduce stress

  • help you sleep better

  • improve your self-esteem and body image

  • help treat sexual problems

  • relieve menstrual cramps and muscle tension

  • strengthen muscle tone in your pelvic and anal areas

Masturbation also helps you figure out what you like sexually. Where do you want to be touched? How much pressure feels good? How fast or slow? Learning how to have orgasms on your own can make it easier to have one with a partner, because you can tell or show them what feels good. And when you’re comfortable with sex, your body, and talking to your partner, you’re more likely to feel comfortable protecting yourself against STDs and unintended pregnancy.

Some people masturbate often — every day, or even more than once a day. Some people masturbate closer to once a week, once every few weeks, or every now and then. Some people never masturbate, and that’s fine too. All of these are perfectly normal.

Masturbation only becomes “too much” if it gets in the way of your job, your responsibilities, or your social life. If that’s a problem for you, you may want to talk to a counselor or therapist.

Some people learn when they’re young that masturbating is wrong or bad, so they feel guilty about doing it. If you feel that way, try to remember that most people masturbate. It’s perfectly normal, and there’s nothing wrong with it. Talking to a counselor or therapist may help if you have trouble getting over guilty feelings.

Is masturbating healthy?

Masturbating is totally healthy, and totally normal. There are tons of myths out there meant to scare you into thinking masturbation is wrong or bad. But the truth is masturbation is perfectly safe. Masturbating won't make you blind, crazy, or stupid. It won’t damage your genitals, cause pimples, or stunt your growth. It doesn’t use up all your orgasms or ruin other kinds of sex.

In fact, masturbation can actually be good for you. Here are some benefits of masturbation:

  • Masturbation is safer than any other type of sex. You can’t get pregnant or get any sexually transmitted infections from masturbating.

  • Masturbation can help you learn what you like and don’t like sexually. And if you decide to have sex with someone, you can know what you do/don’t want to do. BONUS: getting comfortable talking about sex and your body with your partner makes it easier to talk about protecting yourself against STDs and pregnancy, too.

  • Exploring your body and learning how to give yourself sexual pleasure can be empowering and help improve your body image.

  • Masturbation can lower stress and help you relax. It even helps some people fall asleep.

  • Having an orgasm releases endorphins — feel good chemicals in your brain. Orgasms can be a natural painkiller and can even help with period cramps.

  • Mutual masturbation (masturbating with a partner) is a really safe way to have sex and let the other person know what feels good to you. If you share a sex toy, use condoms on the toy and clean it before swapping. And if you touch each other’s genitals, wash your hands before touching your own.

Can I get an STD from masturbating?

Nope. Masturbating is the safest sexual activity out there. There is virtually NO chance of getting an STD or any other infection from touching your own genitals (and there’s also no chance of pregnancy). STDs have to be passed from one person to another, so you can’t give yourself an STD. The one exception to this is herpes - so if you have any cold sores on your mouth and touch them, make sure to wash your hands before masturbating.

But it IS possible to get an STD if you’re masturbating with another person and touching each other’s genitals. Anytime semen (cum) or vaginal fluids are spread to someone else’s body, or your genitals rub against each other, there’s a risk of STDs. So if you touch each other’s genitals, wash your hands before touching your own.

STDs can also be spread by sharing sex toys with another person. You can help protect yourself by using condoms on any toys that you share (even if they’re not shaped like a penis). Put a new condom on anytime a different person uses it. If you’re the only one using your sex toys, you don’t have to worry about STDs. But if you use them with other people, protect those sex toys just like you’d protect your own genitals — put a condom on ‘em!

It’s possible for masturbation to cause irritation or infections if your body is sensitive to the way you masturbate or the things you masturbate with — but this isn’t the same thing as an STD. Lotions, Vaseline, oils, and scented or flavored stuff may irritate your vulva and vagina. Masturbating roughly and not using lubrication can also lead to irritation because of friction. And germs from the anus can cause vaginal infections — so never put something in your vagina that’s been in your butt without washing it or covering it with a condom.

If you’re worried that you have an STD because of pain, itching, or discomfort in your genitals, go to your doctor or your local Planned Parenthood health center.

What is a mastermind and how to organize a mastermind group

What is Mastermind

Mastermind is a group format of like-minded people who meet regularly to support each other and help with personal and professional problems.

For example, if you lose your job, group members will help you create a new resume, share contacts, and recommend you to people you know.

Here you can share personal problems and thoughts that you do not want to discuss with relatives or friends. You will be supported, accepted and offered non-violent help. At the same time, they will expect the same from you. Mastermind is a mutual improvement group.

Some groups meet to solve a specific problem. For example, you are starting a new project. You select people with positive experience who will help you avoid mistakes and bring the project to launch. After the problem is solved, such groups are disbanded.

Mafia members have funded or run several of the world's largest technology companies. Fleximize talked in detail about the composition of the PayPal Mafia and their relationships

Other mastermind groups support each other constantly. In such groups, people work on their goals as a team. Everyone invests in the success of other participants, supports, shares experience and resources.

For example, PayPal Mafia is an association of former founders and employees of PayPal, including Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX and Tesla Motors, Peter Thiel, president of Clarium, and Reed Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn.

The idea of ​​mastermind was proposed by Napoleon Hill. He studied successful Americans: Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Theodore Roosevelt and interviewed more than 500 people to find the secret to success. In his books The Law of Success and Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill described the idea of ​​a group of people working together to help and support each other. Modern historians have criticized Hill for deceit and fraud, and in 2019 Gizmodo called him "the greatest fraudster of all time". At the same time, the concept of mastermind groups turned out to be working and took root in many countries.

Hill described the concept of the mastermind group in 1928, but such groups had existed before. In 1727, Benjamin Franklin organized the Junto Club of 12 members. Club members gathered on Fridays to share their discoveries, discuss politics, morality and philosophy.

The more carefully the goals of the participants are formulated, the easier it is to choose formats to support these goals. For example, invite an expert or use brainstorming (Photo: Natalia Yadrentseva)

Mastermind group is your “personal board of directors” that will help you achieve your goals, gain new experience and support in difficult moments. Here is how it will be useful:

  • Mutual support. Group members will support you despite failures and will not laugh or downplay problems. Support, safety and understanding in the group is built on the reciprocity of all participants, so the same will be expected of you.
  • Other points of view. The different points of view of the participants in the mastermind group will help you see problems that you did not notice before. Feedback from other people may not be pleasant, but it will give a new vision of the situation and opportunities.
  • Resources. Each group member will have a different set of skills and contacts. By asking for help, you can find suitable competencies in other people to solve your problems. Conversely, offer your skills, experience and connections to help the rest of the group.
  • Networking and promotion. You will meet new people and get useful contacts that will help you grow your business, find a new job or like-minded people. You can promote projects and profiles of each other. For example, group members will talk about your blog or product on their social networks, and you will talk about them.

What kind of people are needed for a mastermind

A mastermind group consists of five to eight people. In such a composition, there are enough people and life experiences - in a large group they will be too different. Group members should be about the same level: similar income, position in society, education, so that no one is jealous or looked down on.

The group should not have the same people, competition for the same clients or projects. We need participants with different backgrounds, experiences and worldviews. The difference in life experience helps to find optimal solutions, but if people are too different, the dialogue may not work. Try to choose people from different fields of activity. So each of them will bring ideas and thoughts that are different from the others. Here is an approximate composition of such a group: an entrepreneur, a designer in a large company, a sales manager in a small company, a freelance programmer and a photographer in a studio.

Different composition of the group improves its productivity. According to the womanonoards study, teams with mixed compositions at the strategic level of management contribute to a more active growth in business value, or hold back the fall during periods of crisis (Photo: womanonoards)

At the same time, the relationship between the group members should be approximately the same level. No need to take relatives or colleagues, otherwise you will not be able to fully trust each other.

How mastermind works

Group members gather in a quiet, cozy place: apartment, coworking or office. You can call via Google Meet, Zoom or Skype, and meet in person several times a year. One meeting lasts about four to five hours.

First, the participants exchange news for five to seven minutes per person. Everyone tells what happened in his career, self-development, personal life, health. Participants then propose issues and topics for discussion that have accumulated since the previous meeting.

What can you choose as a case per group:

  • specific tasks you need help with;
  • difficulties in work or study;
  • building a career, educational or other life strategy;
  • everyday problems: cleaning or finding a place to live;
  • questions about money;
  • personal relationships;
  • life goals;
  • physical and psychological health.

Each person is allocated 20-30 minutes. During this time, he talks in detail about his problem or idea, asks for advice or shares plans. Then the rest of the group gives him five to ten minutes of feedback. The person whose problem has been discussed should draw up a plan of action and share it with the other participants. The group then moves on to the next problem.

If you scheduled a meeting for four hours, it will end when the time expires. Problems that have not been discussed are transferred to the next time. At a new meeting, the participants talk about what they did or did not manage to do from the planned plan.

Principles and basic rules for the success of a mastermind group

The concept of a mastermind group differs from mentoring or friendly conversations in a strict format. Participants must take meetings seriously and keep the principles of mastermind in mind.

  • Trust. Group members trust each other as much as possible. Maintain confidentiality to ensure trust. At the first meeting, sign a non-disclosure agreement. Say that for its violation the participant will be expelled from the group.
  • Do not interrupt. All group members are equal. Everyone gets the same amount of time and attention. Do not interrupt the speaker or interfere in the discussion unless you have a specific question. Write down your thoughts so you can express them at the right time.
  • Meet regularly. Group members regularly attend meetings and do not miss them without a good reason. Keep track of your schedule and plan ahead. If participants are consistently late, come up with penalties. Let the latecomer treat everyone with food, pay for coworking or a program for calling.
  • Select a moderator. Moderator - a person from the group or an invited expert. He makes sure that the meetings do not turn into gatherings, are non-conflict and end with a result for each participant. The moderator encourages everyone to work at the peak of productivity. If members do not want to be honest with themselves or others, the group will stall. In this case, the moderator will remind you that asking for help is normal, this is growth above yourself.
  • Fix. Group members write down their thoughts and ideas that come up during the meeting. If your problem is solved, draw up an action plan, fix it and share it in the group chat. This will help structure the knowledge in your head and start acting. Recordings can be made in Google Documents, Notion, Trello, and other programs.

How to find the right mastermind

If you want to start your own mastermind group, start with a goal. Choose a specific aspect of your life that you want to improve. For example, to develop professional skills in order to take on more expensive and interesting projects.

Make a list of friends and acquaintances with similar values. Tell them about the format of the mastermind group and invite them to join. If there are few such people, tell us about the creation of your group in social networks. Go to mastermind dating meetings that are looking for people for mastermind groups. For example, such events are held at the Kocherga rationality center in Moscow, and the Random Coffee project gathers online groups for entrepreneurs and IT specialists with the support of experts.

Julien Gordon and his team have organized over 100,000 mastermind groups around the world. In his talk, Gordon talks about how coaches and communities will change the world

Together with your group, come up with and write down the ground rules and principles. Remember about mutual assistance and respect. Sign a non-disclosure document, create a group chat in a convenient messenger and schedule your first meeting.

How to organize a mastermind remotely

Yulia Sadovnikova, head of the Retail practice at the Russian office of Spencer Stuart, believes that mastermind works better when participants communicate in person. Due to the pandemic, we do not know when we will return to safe in-person meetings. At the same time, it is important to change right now in order to enter a new round of development and win after the peak of the crisis. The mastermind group format helps generate ideas for these changes, so it's important to adapt it effectively to the new reality.

Julia shared the algorithm and key principles of organizing a remote mastermind group, which she developed and uses together with her colleagues.

  • Check…your channel seven times. Incorrect communication tools and a slow connection channel are obvious things that often get in the way of effective group communication. Make sure you choose a convenient and secure communication channel. Try several video calling services and programs in advance with other participants.
  • Seeing each other is critical. In the current climate, it's important to have video calls, not calls. People are dispersed physically, subject to stress, their attention is scattered. Without a camera, the focus will blur even more. To make remote meetings useful, arrange with your group to use cameras.
  • People are greeted by clothes. This principle remains true - people form an opinion about you by appearance. Formal wear helps keep you on your toes and contributes to the work of the mastermind group. If you are dressed very relaxed, it will be more difficult. You don't have to wear suits, but having roughly the same business casual style is important. Put on trousers, a shirt or a simple sweater without prints, this will be enough.
  • "How much to hang in grams?" The clarity of the agenda and action plan is very important. Carefully prepare topics and questions, think through possible objections and conflict points, provoke correct disputes. It is the polarity of opinions and respectful disputes that give rise to new meanings in the mastermind group.
  • Facilitation. Take the time to understand where you are with the group now, what you got, what you achieved, what didn't work out. This will help to find solutions faster, and all group members will be in the same cognitive and emotional state. Do not think for someone, clarify everything. It's better to over-communicate than under-communicate.
  • Check-in and check-out when meeting with a group. People can remain out of the meeting with attention and emotions, so you need to “bring yourself” into any conversation. Before the meeting, check-in, do not rush into brainstorming on important topics right away. Ask the group members how they feel, what their attention is focused on in principle. It looks like a "check-out" at the end of the meeting. Find out from each participant: with what he leaves the meeting, what ideas, steps and actions he takes to work until the next time.
  • You and I are of the same blood. Participants must understand why they are in the group, why they make time for meetings and follow generally accepted rules. What is important is the equal level of people in the group and approximately the same length of time in the respective roles. For example, Julia and her colleagues often organize mastermind groups of the CEOs of the largest companies in various industries. In such groups, participants should be from companies that are similar in size, business complexity, and context. At the same time, the duration of work in the role of CEO should not differ several times.

How to evaluate the effectiveness of a mastermind group

Coach, mastermind expert and strategic development consultant Natalya Yadrentseva believes that each participant evaluates the effectiveness of the group's work.

Some indicators can be measured. For example, a person joins a mastermind to realize their idea or create a new product. The result may be a test of the idea for viability or the first sale. There are also indirect indicators. For example, the lifetime of the mastermind group. There are groups that continue to meet regularly for years. This speaks to the value the participants receive.

How to increase trust between members

To increase trust between group members, Natalya Yadrentseva suggests using three tools.

Conduct a motivational interview to form a group. Ask questions to better understand each other. Here are sample questions that will help you open up your interlocutor:

  • What will be a breakthrough for you now?
  • How will you know that you have achieved a result?
  • Why haven't you reached this result yet? What stops?
  • What kind of support do you need?
  • Why do you want/wanted to join the group?
  • How can you be useful to other members of the group: skills, knowledge, strengths?

Voice stories and thanks. Personal stories bring participants together and better involve each other in life. An important part of such stories is gratitude. Set aside time at the end of the meeting for each participant to share: what he takes away from the meeting, what was useful for him and whom he wants to thank. Gratitude will help create an atmosphere of openness.

Use active listening, strong questions and mirroring. Members of the mastermind group share their problems in order to find solutions to the current situation, rather than complaining. Powerful questions and active listening help group members not worry about what others think of them. Share your ideas and mistakes to learn together. Mirroring - similar movements, facial expressions, intonation with the interlocutor help to win over the interlocutor.

Top 5 useful tips

  1. If you find it difficult to choose a problem, ask yourself the Hamming questions: “What is the most important problem in my life?”, “Why is it not being solved?”.
  2. Prepare case studies before the meeting.
  3. Chat on an easy-to-use platform to share useful links and quick tips.
  4. If you are not sure about the composition and format of the group, arrange a trial meeting.
  5. Try not to miss or cancel meetings.

To organize your own mastermind group

  1. State the goals you want to achieve with the mastermind group.
  2. Think about what kind of people you need, what kind of skills, experience, values ​​they have. Make a list of potential group members and resources to find them.
  3. Think of the principles and rules of the group. Sign a non-disclosure document.
  4. Choose a communication channel: a program for calls and correspondence, find places for personal meetings.
  5. Select a moderator or invite an expert to the first meeting. Get to know each other so you can understand each other better.
  6. Record the results of the first meeting and share them in your group chat. Pick a date for your next meeting, prepare for it, and remember how the group works.
  7. Work out the structure of the meeting, work out the timings and work with the moderator. Revise the principles and rules as needed. Improve yourself and help others.

WP Rocket Review - Caching Plugin for Speed ​​-

Whether it's site loading or site performance, we want more than just speed and accuracy. That's why we need a plugin that has everything we're looking for. WP Rocket is one of the plugins that provide the desired performance.

Since the introduction of the WP Rocket plugin, this is a premium caching plugin for WordPress. I know words like "premium caching plugin" sound like very high quality words. Let me give you a simple definition of what this means. They simply refer to the best practices for speeding up your WordPress website.

In addition, it is designed to help you with various factors related to user problems. Putting everything aside, all we need is the answer “ Is there enough functionality in the WP Rocket plugin to work with our site? ". Simply put, YES is the answer.

If we're looking for features in the WP Rocket plugin, let me tell you that it packs all the latest features in terms of performance, lazy loading of images, concatenation, and lots of coding frameworks.

According to a recent survey, 40% of people who visit a site leave it if it takes more than 3 seconds to load. And, unfortunately, this becomes the reason why users never visit this site again. But what we need is a great user experience, and for that, our site needs to be upgraded to improve speed and framework. This is easy to do with the WP Rocket plugin.

This leads to one question: “ How do we blindly trust WP Rocket? ". To do this, we need to know what the background performance of the plugin is and how it actually works in the real world.

So this leads to understanding the background of plugins and understanding them in depth.

Know the background

Let's talk about my experience, so it's better to digest the real performance numbers. When I started my journey to build my own website, I, like others, had a lot of site performance issues.

And like everyone else, I also did a lot of searching on the Internet for things like how to ensure fast loading, how to significantly improve website performance. After a month of work, I found out that these loading problems are a plugin game. This means that if you want good performance without loading issues, you need to implement plugins on your site.

This gave rise to the idea of ​​installing plugins on my WordPress for a better user experience.

Now the main problem arises: which to use? Many versions are available on the market. Which one is better for me?

Then one of my friends advised me that before diving into the paid version, I should try almost every free caching plugin available. And, frankly, they are fine: some options have more, others less, some have better results, others have less. But the problem is that the experience is uneven and you really need to be aware to get web performance.

With WP Rocket all that stress is gone. You just install it, select a few easy-to-understand options, and you're done. Yes, that's all it takes. This is what my friend told me, but how can I blindly trust him like others?

Because it seems very simple and well structured, no pain.

What surprised me was that when I tried it myself, it was very easy and fast. The plugin is constantly updated and maintained, which is essential when it comes to such an important part of your website's infrastructure.

Curious to know how to speed up your site in a few clicks?

Let's take a look at the important features of WP Rocket.

Features and Offers

WP Rocket is a caching and performance plugin. I believe that with the use of this paid WordPress plugin, you will also be able to see a significant improvement in the performance of your site.

And it's common knowledge that performance is a critical factor in user experience, Google search rankings and conversion rates. Now, as a trusted buyer of this plugin, I can state that when it comes to performance, WP Rocket is the most popular option available.

But then again, there are many free plugins available on the market, what makes WP Rocket unique and reliable?

Here are the features that justify its premium tag -

Browser caching

If we go over its definition, we can say that the browser cache contains all documents downloaded by the user via HTTP. In everyday life, we can simply argue that caching improves and speeds up browsing.

Let's see how it actually works. So what's happening in the background is that browser caching stores certain types of files on your visitors' local computer, known as assets. And these files are stored on your computer for some time.

If we're talking programming language, the point is that we can download files from a hard drive faster than retrieving them from a remote server, no matter how fast our Internet connection is. And it's possible with WP Rocket's browser capture feature.

Combining files

This element does what it says. In programmer's parlance, it combines different entries such as CSS documents into a set of one, thereby reducing the number of HTTP requests on your site.

But people like you and me don't understand this coding. We need simple and direct answers to what this function actually does. So, in simple terms, this feature is designed to significantly speed up our site in terms of loading time.

lazy loading

WP Rocket offers an interface that is easy to understand and easy to use. What's more, converting the turtle download to a fast download is one of the highlights. And that's what you pay for. You are here to turn lazy loading into fast loading and that is what WP Rocket brings to you.

Database Optimizer

This component encourages you to clean up your infobase, which is essential for smooth operation. But the advantage of using WP Rocket over other plugins is that you don't have to worry about some other module to clean up the infobase.

Let me tell you about one unusual feature of this module: it remembers clearing itself. What this really means is that it smooths out the complexity of the user interface and keeps users on our site.

To make it easier to see the differences, here is a table that summarizes the changes that took place when I improved my test site with WP Rocket:

Up to WP Rocket After WP Rocket
GTmetrix page loading 2. 1s 1.1s
GTmetrix Requests 45 23
Pingdom 9 page loading0346 1.50s 423ms
Pingdom requests 44 23

Because page speed is an SEO positioning variable, the faster your pages load, the more Google (and your guests) will love them. If you want to learn more about positioning and SEO strategies, you can check out my blog by clicking here.

Let's talk about advantages and disadvantages

First of all, take a look at the different benefits of this plugin -

GZIP Compression

Be it Google or Yahoo, they use GZIP compression. Gzip encoding helps you take advantage of modern web content and modern Internet speeds. This compression is very necessary as it will improve response times by reducing the size of HTTP responses.

Reduce Page Load

Page load can have a huge impact when it comes to attracting visitors and increasing sales. According to the survey, approximately 48% of the audience expect websites to load in 1-2 seconds. And almost 40% of the audience will leave the page if it takes 3 seconds or more to load. By using WP Rocket, you will be able to fulfill the requirements. Ranking in search results also depends on download time. Play around with WP Rocket to improve the user experience.

Well thought out toolbar

This is one of the factors that its premium version satisfies. This feature sets WP Rocket apart from other paid plugins. This feature simplifies setup even for beginners. The quick actions available on the toolbar help make it more convenient and easier to learn.

WP Rocket Optimization Features

One reason you'll love this is the features this plugin provides, such as CDN (Content Delivery Network) and Cloudflare. The good thing about WP Rocket compared to other premium plugins is that you can use both at the same time, while most other caching plugins only use one at a time. The plugin is frequently updated with new features and you get extensive documentation with fantastic support.

Now let's discuss some disadvantages -

Paid version

Not at all like many plugins available, this plugin has its own price sticker. WP Rocket was not the first plugin for WordPress, rather it was the first plugin from a real organization to offer support. This is the only downside I've noticed with this plugin after using it for a long time.

You can see comparisons with various plugins in the image below.

So why not take a look at prices and ratings.
