For it is written, to the one with much juice, much deliciousness will be given unto him. Much love to the juicy.

A recent study has unveiled that a substantial 7.4 million individuals in the United Kingdom have engaged in self-pleasure during their working hours.
The advent of remote work has brought with it a range of perks, including the luxury of sleeping in, eliminating the daily commute, and, surprisingly for some Britons, the occasional moment of self-indulgence.
In a survey conducted by Chemist4U, involving 2,000 participants, a noteworthy 14 percent openly confessed to indulging in some personal gratification while on the job.
The survey findings indicate that more than a fifth of men (22 percent) have engaged in self-pleasure while working, while seven percent of women have also chosen to have some alone time during their workday. Furthermore, 18 percent of the surveyed individuals admitted to accessing adult content during work hours.
Notably, London emerged as the city with the highest prevalence of on-the-job self-stimulation, with 16 percent of respondents admitting to this practice.
The study also discovered that individuals earning between £35,001 and £45,000 annually were the most likely to engage in this behavior. Those earning between £25,001 and £35,000 per year exhibited a 24 percent likelihood, while those earning between £15,001 and £25,000 per year demonstrated an 18 percent likelihood.
The age group most frequently engaging in this activity was those aged 25 to 34, with 27 percent participating, followed by 35 to 44 year-olds at 18 percent, and 45 to 54 year-olds at 15 percent.
Surprisingly, experts suggest that engaging in self-stimulation during work hours may actually enhance productivity. Psychology lecturer Mark Sergeant from Nottingham Trent University asserted that this activity can improve concentration.
Psychologist and life coach Dr. Cliff Arnall even suggested the implementation of a ‘masturbation policy’ in workplaces to boost company morale. He expressed the belief that such a policy could result in increased focus, reduced aggression, heightened productivity, and improved employee well-being.
However, he cautioned that any such policy should have strict limitations, with a focus on ensuring that employees do not engage in inappropriate behavior or fantasize about their colleagues.
So, for those working from home, it appears that the occasional self-stimulation session might just be the perfect stress-reliever to add a little excitement to the workday, according to these findings.
A 64-year-old Pakistani man needs an 18-centimeter electrical wire pulled out of his penis because it got stuck in his urethra during a DIY attempt to help him urinate. The Pakistani man shoved the 18-centimeter wire into his urethra, but it got stuck.
He told the doctors who treated him at Karachi’s Abbasi Shaheed Hospital that he had put in the object to help him urinate.The unidentified man informed them that prior to inserting the wire inside himself, he had been experiencing pain and having trouble urinating for two months.
Doctors wrote in the journal Urology Case Reports that when they touched the wire in his penis, they could actually feel it.
An X-ray revealed that the wire had reached the man’s bladder all the way up his urethra.To examine the wire, surgeons had planned to insert a camera into the man’s urethra.
On the other hand, when he spread his meatus, they could see the hole through which urine flows.
The doctor then used forceps to manually remove the object.
This X-ray shows that the man’s wire is inside his urethra and extends all the way to his bladder. The doctor was able to use forceps to grab the tip of the wire and pull it back out of his penis. The doctor said the patient didn’t have any bleeding or injury after the wire was removed.
The authors did not specify whether the man in the most recent case had ever done so before or if it was a one-time occurrence.
They also didn’t say exactly when this happened or explain why the man was having trouble urinating in the first place.
However, they claimed that the man had not had a sexual encounter in three years.
New research suggests regularly masturbating could help men reduce their risk of prostate cancer. A recent study found that men who ejaculate at least 21 times per month may lower their chances of prostate cancer by up to a third.
The study, published in European Urology, followed 31,925 men over 18 months and linked frequent masturbation with decreased prostate cancer risk, similar to the benefits of exercise and healthy eating. Researchers believe regularly clearing out toxins from the body through ejaculation offers protective effects.
This adds to a growing consensus around the health benefits of masturbation for men. Despite viral movements like No Nut November that promote abstinence, urologists argue there is no evidence that refraining from masturbation improves physical or mental wellbeing.
Dr. Rena Malik previously told Insider that research shows masturbation reduces stress and prostate cancer risk. She cited a 2016 study finding men under 50 who ejaculated over 21 times monthly had lower prostate cancer diagnoses.
While some claim masturbation hurts athletic performance, Malik dismissed this as unfounded. Instead, the newest research makes it clear that enjoying masturbation frequently could be an important part of self-care for men, with tangible impacts on health.
So while periodic abstinence challenges may seem fun, the science shows masturbating regularly well into one’s 40s could truly save lives by decreasing prostate cancer risk. For optimal health, striving for 21+ monthly masturbation sessions appears the way to go.
