Unfortunately, touching oneself will not be the difference between catching Covid and not, as there are many factors that influence a person’s risk of getting the disease. But according to one specialist in hormone therapy, flicking the bean could help act as a defense mechanism and could greatly boost your immune system. It’s why we’re all as strong as an ox, we can’t keep our hands off of ourselves. One small but promising study of 11 men – who were awkwardly told to masturbate while researchers took blood tests – suggests so. Published in 2004, it showed masturbation caused a temporary spike in immune cells, including killer cells that fight viruses.

Please, let us know if this works!
