Myths About Masturbation
Despite the fact that there is no evidence that masturbation impairs physical or mental health, there are many people who still believe that it's harmful - or worry that it might be.
Masturbation is a natural sexual expression. People in most cultures masturbate. Even many species of animals do. Yet, some people hesitate to do it - even when it might really serve them well during a particular phase of their life.
Despite the fact that many people masturbate throughout their lives, there are still some who believe that masturbation causes insanity, epilepsy, acne, blindness, nosebleeds, warts, uninhibited sexuality, and hair on the palms. And some believe it causes headaches, when it actually can help relieve some types of headaches.
Many sexually healthy people who have available partners masturbate as additional gratification. Partnered sex and masturbation should be viewed as complementary sexual experiences, not as mutually exclusive.
Masturbation can be a very good way to learn about one's own body - particularly because it can help with communication of knowledge to a partner. Many women learn to have their first orgasm through masturbation. So, rather than being a substitute for partner sex, it can be a supportive path to having better sex with one's mate.
Masturbation is not for the "simple minded," the antisocial, or the immature. It is not something one must give up after their teen years. And, it can certainly amplify the sexual possibilities as people age or encounter physical limitations due to health conditions.
Much attention is given to people who currently masturbate "too much." While it's certainly true that the Internet has given many people more access to more visual stimulation, there are millions of people who use that imagery without destroying their lives - we just don't talk about them much because there's no problem.
Our culture has individuals who overdo many things. Part of responsible sexual education involves learning moderation and how to fit activities into one's life without destroying other parts of it. That includes masturbation.

I always thought it was amusing that people thought masturbation would cause things like blindness, hairy palms, etc. Its not like our bodies can tell if its our own hand or someone elses. Sadly it seems like common sense isnt very common.
As far as masturbation causing any damage, I've been doing it since I was 12 and I'm 66 now and I'm not blind or crazy yet...although some may argue about that last part.
Masturbation is truly one of the joys of life! No side effects, to the contrary more and more evidence of substantial short and long term mental and physical benefits. It's also absolutely the safest form of sex which is important nowadays I believe. What's not to like? Unless you are totally obsessed with it and/or ignoring other aspects of your life...ENJOY!
i belive that a man and a women cuming together is atrue sign that they have a real great communication together.my guess is 95%0f of a man&womenin a good established relationship dont do mutual masterbation.do you know?????what do you think,& what is your view on this subject.a man that has nothing too hide!!!!!!!!
To marie,
The first time is painful for most women and many men, too, because the penis has to rip apart a membrane in the vagina called the "hymen" in order to get all the way in. That only happens once, but intercourse will be painful any time that your vagina and the penis are both dry. You can fix that by using a lubricant or by masturbating enough to get yourself well lubricated naturally before you move on to penetration. If it is slippery, it will feel great! The vagina is very stretchable, so most penises will fit just fine if you are wet.
I think all you who think maturbation is ok need to take another look at yor bible and see if Our Creator who actually made us from dust an know what the best way to keep our body & mind strong agrees with your thinking
here's a question for ya: i'm 29 and a virgin with a history of endometreosis. I will be getting married soon and quiet frankly i'm scared to death of my wedding night. I've had a lot of painful problems in the past and i just dont want to be afraid of my husband to the point of putting him off. Is there a surgical alternative to penile penetration for removal of the hymen?
I have a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge question for everybody. I am a guy 19 years old am not gonna say name or whatever and masterbate probably like 3 times a day on a normal basis, now i know it is good health........BUT, i work out and lift weights. now my question is for those who can answer it because no one has been able to answer my question.......will masterbating affect building muscle through weight lifting? ppl have said that it reduces ur testosterone and you cant build muscle and others say not true, but i need some real evidence. please someone post comment back on this.
I am 30 years old and just got out of 2 long relationships back to back with a more than healthy/normal sexual relationship. I just started dating a guy that I knew for about a month before we got intimate. My problem is that after we are intimate he masturbates after he falls asleep. At first it was just the first night but now it is every night i sleep over there. I thought it was because we didn't have intercourse the first few times, but now even after we have it.... he falls asleep then masturbates. He has to think I am sleeping, right? This seems not normal to me... help! It also takes him much longer than any other guy I have been with to ejaculate. What's going on, is it me?
ok now i really need some help so pls. i just turned 19 and a few days after i started to feel or perform unusual during sex with my girl.time before wen having sex i could not come nor needed to say use a condom but now ever since them few days any time we have sex i would have to come

masterbation is fine . Unless you over do it. It does cause you not to be able to get a hard on when your woman is patiently waiting. How bad does that make a man feel. Your balance of needed nerve ratios get off balance. Because you've already used them up through masterbation. This makes the penis tingle and just lay there. If you have a woman and you show and tell what she means to you. Guys there is no reason to handle it yourself. I have experienced this myself and researched alot. I tell my man I'm here now and let me take care of it
how do you get the tingle to stop?
Hi my name is Mujhtaba and iam 19 years old i am doing masturbation since i was 12 years old .

THATS ALL
I masturbate about 10 times a day. Well at night, just before I go to sleep.. I get really bad anxiety, and panic attacks, especially at night when laying in bed, so mastuirbating helps take my mind off, of it, and clears my mind, or I do it til I fall asleep.. Sometimes I can get upto 20... I'm probably a rare case but it rocks :)
i like 'baitin'
makes me feel like a man but i only bait alone or with others

hi everybody i also want to know the answer to the quesition above in post, does masturbation really blocks or reduce the muscle growth? pls mail me the answer at coolroby77@yahoo.co.in
Hey, I'm a guy and I'm 14. This is just something I want to get off my chest. Yes, I masturbate, I started last year. But here's a problem, my "over-protective" parents don't know about it. I usually do it in the shower and and I lock myself in the bathroom to do it when they're not home. I try to stop, but its addictive as smoking. Soon, they'll start getting suspicious about why I'm in the shower so long. I'm scared, this is a secret I literally can't keep in my pants forever (sorry if that didn't make sense).
I'm also a devout Christian. That makes me worry even more. Masturbation is againist some religions. Some say thinking about a certain woman while doing it is considered adultery. I try not to masturbate on Sundays and definitely not on religious holidays, but half the time I fail.
hey i need some help...
after masturbation my penis gets really inflamed. can you tell me if this happens or if it is not normal. I need to know if it is not normal. PLEASE HELP.
Okay, Im 18 and I'm a virgin because I havent had true sex, but my first time my girlfriend and I masterbated eachother, and it really helped out our relationship. It helped us get comfortable about masterbation and we have talked about masterbation alone and our experiences. Now that girlfriend and I broke up because we had to move. Now I masterbate about once every day or once every couple days. It just depends on how my body and mind feels that day. Now what is weird is that there's this new girl that I am mentally and physically attracted to, but I am not the type of person who is aggressive and when we hug my penis feels odd. It is almost like a partial of a climax and afterwards I go home and I see that I have let out alittle bit of semen during that time... and that little bit shows through my jeans and I quickly change. Im sure that nobody has notice, but the fact that it happened made me embarrassed. Is it when I hug her for an extended ammount of time my body becomes aroused on its own because of my love for her? Ive also noticed that after that has happened when I go to masterbate it has a little bit of a stinging sensation when I ejaculate. Has anyone had this type of a situation.
Now for an answer to the 19 yearold body builder. I am a body builder and I masterbate anywhere from once a day to once every few days. I have a bowflex and masterbation has not affected my results at all. Actually, I believe that it helps working out. The reason why is because masterbation is healthy for your cardio, and respiratory. Its like a workout on its own. Hope that helps you.
what if your 16 and female and you masturbat often is it bad for you
"I always thought it was amusing that people thought masturbation would cause things like blindness, hairy palms, etc. Its not like our bodies can tell if its our own hand or someone elses. Sadly it seems like common sense isnt very common."
- Most of the people who believe this only do because they ytaught at a yound age by over protective prude parents, who dont want their kids masterbating. I just wish it were easlier to clean up! lol
I am 15 right now. And i belive that if i keep masturbate to much that i penis will never grow. Now is that ture cause even when its not hard it is real small what i think when it is small it is 3 and 1/2 inches long and when its hard it is about 5.5 so why want my penis grow. I want it to be long. I need this answered.
can girls get cervical cancer from masturbation?
I'm 71 and masturbate all the time--always have--now have prostate cancer and taking radiation--will I be able to masturbate after radiation?
Frequent masturbation converts your testosterone into DHT, which causes acne and hair loss.
Masturbating more than 3 times per week *is* harmful. Google the web site "Herbal Love" to find out how bad it can be.
Is it unusual to masturbate with a condom? Does anybody do this?
Does anyone out there use a condom while masturbating? Is this normal?
I masturbate all the time... only once a day.. maybe not even.. is this bad? sometimes I think of it as a disease.... Im 13 and in 7th grade please give me advice
Masturbation makes me feel guilty, but ugh it feels so good that I just can't stop. I don't know if I should be saying a prayer thanking God for giving us this gift for our bodies, or I should be on my knees begging to him for mercy for committing this vile act and hope I'll still enter heaven.

Thanks.
Really when you think about it, masturbation does cause acne for teens. If you didn't know, when you workout, exercise, or run laps, you get sweaty and oils build up on your face and skin which results in breakouts. Well masturbation is sort of the same way. It's a cardio workout (not the best though), and sometimes I get a little sweaty when I'm done. Then next, zits. But that doesn't make me stop masturbating.
anonymous said
can chronic masterbation lead to not being able to reproduce???...
To what the person above said, can masturbation cause your semen to not work? Let me give a little background information:
I am 24 years of age, and I have been masturbating everyday (even before/after sex) about 5-10 times a day. I seem to get an erection even when NOT thinking about sex, or being visually stimulated in any way. Sometimes meditation can make me go limp, but not always. My last relationship, I had sex with my girlfriend around 5-8 times per week and sometimes that in one day depending on the work situation. My extremely high sexual extremities are indeed interfering with my life considering I have had to schedule it in to be able to function right. Some side-effects of ignoring my bodies call for masturbation include but is not limited to: inability to concentrate for extended periods of time, severe emotions including anger, frustration, rage, sadness, psychotic episodes (rare and usually only destructive to in-animate objects)(sometimes blacking out and ending up somewhere I am unfamiliar with). The overwhelming need to masturbate/have sex is too high and sometimes unbearable which leads me to hating and loving masturbation/sex equally, if not hating it more. I have actually considered chemical castration to rid myself of a sex drive (and erections all together). I would rather not do that, though. In conclusion, I would like to wrap this up with a question. Is there something like viagra that does the opposite for up to 36 hours? The time and energy wasted on masturbation is really ridiculous and I would be happy to not masturbate/have sex for the rest of my life. PLEASE. IF SOMEONE KNOWS OF ANYTHING TO HELP ME, PLEASE RESPOND.
P.S. I know some of the responses on my side-effects will include: seek psychiatric help for the psychotic episodes and blackouts. Trust me, I have and I have not been diagnosed with anything. I also informed her of everything posted here. The episodes/blackouts only occur when I dont masturbate once every two days minimum (so far). This also applies to all other side-effects.
I forgot to mention in my above post that I started at age 9 and the side-effects started manifesting when I turned 13.

I never masturbate at all is it normal? I'm 25 years old and I'll always been sexually active since i was 15.
i heard from people that masturbating causes ones penis to "shrink" is that true?
HI I AM 16 YRS OLD AND I MASTURBATE SINCE 14....OF MY AGE I JUST WANTED TO KNOW THAT IS IT HEALTHY OR IT CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS...I MASTURBATE AND EJACULATE ABT 4 TIMES A DAY ..
PLZZZ REPLY THIS ON MY ID "cool_rangdebasanti@rediff.com"
So uh, some guy here said "Frequent masturbation converts your testosterone into DHT, which causes acne and hair loss.
Masturbating more than 3 times per week *is* harmful"
I am getting kind of worried because I do have a "widdow's peak" where my hair on above the sides of my forhead is receded, it looks like its receding even more... if this is true, say if you stop masturbating, will it grow back? or is widow's peak normal for some teenagers?
not that I masturbate 5 times a day like some people here, only about 3 times a week probably... I just dont want to go bald or anything... Also is there any proof of masturbation stuning growth?
thank you
I was curious,just how long does it take to replimish,or make your testicles rebuild semen after you already masterbated and squirted your load? Does it effect a sperm count if you can have sexual intercourse with a woman later that evening if you had ejaculate from early in the morning? Reason I ask is my wife wants to become pregnant and were both refraining from sexual intercourse over a week ,sometimes two.Because of my teeth infections and recent open heart surgery,but I still feel horny and at least one day a week I masterbate when shes not willing to have intercourse,I even try to masterbate without actually having orgasm usually every morning once a day ,but after a week or two it is uncontrollable and I ejaculate alot of semen at once.It makes me feel good,but worried how long it takes to replimish,rebuild fresh sperm.I'm 39yr old male..
I have a question tha really can't seem to find an answer to I'm 18 and I've been masturbating for awhile. alot less than i used to like two times a day now. Well my question is will masturbation affect penis growth? Will it make the penis get not as big? my email is JTO_2K8@yahoo.com
I was just wondering what happens when a sexually mature man abstains from masturbation and sex for two years? Can this affect fertility for a short time once he starts becoming sexually active again? Also, is it possible for semen in urine?
where can i find more information on how masturbation improves headaches? i suffer from migraines ..and i've found that an orgasm produced either by me or my patner has helped alieviate them about 65% of the time..which is a great alternative to the painkillers and other medication that my doctor prescribes..i'd just like to know a little more about the science of how this occurs..and thanks for your article..:)
At what age is it normal for boys to start masturbation? I have a son and I'd like to know when the birds and bees and it's your body it's healthy talk needs to be handed out.I would also like to make sure I don't walk into an embarrassing situation for him.
I am a student pursuing software engineering. I rarely masturbate. I mean 2 or 3 times a month or so. I often hear people saying it's a bad habit, even in my own family. I am 24, but so far, by the grace of god, no problems whatsoever. Is it okay doing it or is there something really bad about it? Well, I have read about it a couple of times but i still am asking. But all those readings take me in a kind of dilemma. Will it effect my future generation? Will i have unhealthy babies, who are not going to be good looking?
I understand it's not in the hands of anyone as it depends on chance and of course one's fate,which chromosome X or Y is going to fertilise the ovum.I also used to be the student of medicine but i changed my field as i was not able to see all those dreadful diseases and also saw people(including doctors) dying of
all those ailments.
Will masturbating really effect in adverse way to me or to my coming generation?
thanks & regards

I'm 43 and started masturbating 2-3 times a week since age 20. 2 years after I started I began having urinary problems (needing to go frequently, not emptying the bladder, etc.) When I would stop masturbating the symptoms would dissipate or go away completely. The last year and a half I've had terrible problems that have made life miserable. After several misdiagnosis, I went to a urologist who said I have excess fluid in my prostate. It's hard for me not to believe that over-masturbation isn't involved to some degree after the problems I've had in the past. I've been addicted to it, but now I'm going cold turkey for my health.
According to my doctor, men need to ejaculate about once a month (kind of like a woman's period). Nature takes care of this through wet dreams. Be careful of those who tell you you can masturbate multiple times a day or a week without any consequences. If you think you're doing it too much, you are. If you wonder if you're addicted to it, YOU ARE.
Food is a good and necessary thing, but you don't eat everything you want all the time without endangering your health. Masturbation shouldn't be any different. And look at why you need to do it so much-are you really just trying to cover up feelings of sadness, depression or insecurity like an alcholic does with booze or food addict would with junk food?
Just some things to think about from someone who's been there.
It is interesting to here of others comments, my youth was absorbed by uncontrolable and quite damaging drinking, my 30's was struggle with increasing smokes and for the last 5 years, escalating "hobby" of collecting nude web pics with associated pleasurable rubbing. At 53 "it" does drain energy, nutrients. (I heard that Jesus jacked off to make dying easier) I have to top up with Yogurt at night and sleep well and Multi vitamen each day to keep going. There's pain on each side of my stomach as my gizard makes more spurm, and scotum is tender, penis is rubbed raw sometimes when I try not, but get going again with out oil, and 1st degree rub burns that never get better on the head of my penis. If I can surrender from this totally beaten I will be lucky - but whats next.
i am scared i have hurt myself
i have cried over this
the inside walls (like wear the tampon goes)
i rough
and maybe it is because i masturbated too much can i hurt myself
Here's something I've been experiencing. I'm 15 and I've only been masturbating once a day for 2 years now. Lately, I've been getting this weird thing with my hands. When I scratch the back of my neck or foot or something, it's like I can't feel the hand I'm scratching with. It feels like somebody else is scratching me. Also, my hands fall asleep a lot faster than they used to. Has anybody else experienced this?
I am a 40 year old male.I masturbate by humping the bed. I do this about 2 or 3 times a day. I have found that humping the bed works better then my hand. I have been masturbating this way since I was 13. Is this harmful to my health in anyway?
hi, i am 14 years old and i have been masturbating for 1.5 years now once aday, i know this question has been asked many times but can masturbation effect penal growth? for now i am worried that i am smaller then average.., will a 14 year olds penis grow? or is a person usually done growing by 14?
Marie:
I am one of the women who was born with 2 halves instead of one normal uterus. When I got married, I screamed bloddy murder because it was so painful I could not stand it, not once but all the time. It was after putting up with this for 3 weeks we both went to the doctor to find out he was attempting to gain entry to the side that was 35% normal. When we got going in the side that was 65% it was much better... especially when I was VERY WET. If things don't improve, go to a OB-GYN - Many times MD's can't find both sides. Good luck.
To the Web MD users who had a question about fertility...I have been masturbating since I was 10.I am now 23 and have a baby due with my ex gf in august.I maturbate probably 2 times daily. As far as I can tell this didnt affect my fertility. However most of these questions that I have reviewed in this blog would be best answered by a personal physician rather than personal experiences, but whatever can help.....
does early masturbation inhibit the growth of your body or any body part for that matter? somebody email me @ achilles_heel_2007@yahoo.com I started masturbation @ an early age and i think i would have been taller had it not been for that as all my cousins are taller than me; im now 21 yo. so in short im just wondering does early masturbation stop you from growing?

does masturbating lower your sperm count
is masturbation bad for health
plz tell me iz masturbation bad for muscles
i have been masturbating since i was 12 and iam worried it will stop growing can some one please give me an answer
Ok, first off, to all you people who think there are all these adverse side effects to masturbation (smaller penis, stunted growth, decreased muscle mass), there's NOT. First of all, masturbation is a fairly natural process, as stated above; even other animals besides humans do it. It is like saying having sex will have bad side effects. If this is true, I think the human race would have been extinct long ago. True, some religions hold that masturbation is immoral; but that is a belief, and your choice to believe it. To all those who claim that masturbation has affected you and you're religious, PROVE to me that you'd be different had you not masturbated. Ask others within your faith who have done so, and you'll probably be surprised at the number who engage in this "immoral" act. Many religions claim "your body is a temple;" well, shouldn't you know your body then? It would be like owning a car and NEVER popping open the hood to see what's really happening.
To all those who believe masturbation will affect your body in some negative way: it won't. true, as the article above states, your body releases different hormones and chemicals when you masturbate or have sex. Too much masturbation, then, can obvioulsy cause a chemical imbalance and affect your mood, etc. So, don't masturbate too much (like some of those who claim more than 4x/day). You have to let your body recharge! Don't let it become an addiction where you deny other things in life for it. As for the other side effects like impaired growth etc, there are HUNDREDS of other causes for these symptoms. Don't jump to conclusions and blame the masturbation for it.
SO, relax and enjoy masturbation. Most of the population does it, whether or not they want to admit it.
My brother was told that if he didnt masterbate he will get prostate cancer is this true?
I am a 35 year old male. I am a Teacher at an Elementary school. I have been masturbating since I was 12. I masturbate exactly four times a day. If I don't masturbate four times a day, I yell at my students for no reason. Sometimes while teaching, I have to masturbate. I just go to the bathroom quick. But thats not it. Every time I masturbate I have to be going poop. I don't know what it is, but what ever it is...is it wrong? If it is, I don't want to be right.Please Help.
Sincerely
Mr. Johnson
is it harmful to half-masturbate, you know hold it in?
is it harmful to half-masturabate, like hold it in?
to the above, i hear that hold it in is not gud because som of it stays there and accumulates build up and dis is not good.
I am 17 male and have masturbated since 15. i dont masturbate as much...only like 1 or 2 times a month. i workout and masturbation doesnt seem to have any effect on it.
to the post that said sweating etc in woking out causes acne,...i beg to differ...working out whether it be running, lifting weights, et...it reducies acne.
but to masturbation, it actually does give me an increase in acne. like 2 or 3 days after i masturbate, i see pimples starting to come out.
can someone plz expalin to me about the relation between acne and masturbation? or atlest explain teh "DHT" and hormones that affect acne as a result of masturbation.

everyone...we dont need masturbation to live, ive been devoted to celibisy and its hard but worth it! God wants to be our stength in getting through it for sure! for those of u who feel guilty it is a sin! SIN= sufffering internally needlessly. i feel horrible about it when i stumble and do it but then i wonder sometimes if its healthy to "empty" the tanks! all i know is that lusting thinking of ppl to masturbate is perverse and sure it makes u feel like a man but ur really not helping yourself .... being a real man is alot of hard work i am finding out and masturbationg is just a cowardly way to get out of it and feel strong! repent people and sin no more! It is impossible to do by yourself however, you must b born again ...into a kingdom ...the Kingdom of God! its coming so prepare for it the battle is always going on whether u see it or feel it or not! PEACE AND LOVE
I use to masturbate until I found out about fasting. It really helps take the heat out of a hard-on.
I am 13 and i just masturbated for the first time 2 days ago. after i masturbated my penis kept oozing with sperm, and also my penis was sore for about an hour after masturbation.
is this normal?
Answers!!! HERE THEY ARE!!! Due to masturbation will these things occur?
Q. Will my penis growth be slowed or stunned,
A. NO. By masturbating, you are actually assisting in the natural cycle of growth of your penis by rubbing on it, pulling it, and making it become erect which will do nothing to stunt the growth of your penis. You'll pretty much get whatever size your going to get due to genetics.
Q. Will I run out of "cum" semen?
A. NO. You're body will continue to produce your little swimmers(sperm) well into your 90's or longer...if you live that long.
Q. Will I loose my hair?
A. NO. You're body won't under or overproduce DHT which is the hair loss hormone due to masturbation. You're not going to go bald by doing it.
Q. Is it bad for you to masturbate many times a week or day?
A. NO it is not bad, it relaxes and helps get rid of tension. It also helps some people that have desires to cheat on loved ones by assisting in curbing (stopping) the sexual desire temporarily because of having just ejaculated by masturbation.
Q. Will you go blind?
A. NO. There is no difference masturbating or having normal sexual intercourse with a woman or if you're gay, with a man. Your body doesn't know the difference. It is a healthy thing to do.
Q. Will you get hair on your palms of your hand?
A. NO. That one is funny... but no. No hair in the palm.
Q. Will it make you short, or stunt your growth?
A. NO. Your masturbation style, technique, frequency, or anything at all will not affect your height. That once again is controlled by genetics. You'll either grow to be short, medium or tall. Jerking off won't change, stop, or help that at all.
Q. Does it stop muscle growth while maturing or lifting weights?
A. NO. There is no connection at all between muscle growth and pleasuring one's self with masturbation. Masturbating regularly may actually increase testosterone production which will not inhibit muscle growth. I'm not saying it will help but it definitely won't hurt.
Q. Does it matter if I use soap or lotion, or conditioner, or KY, or Icy Hot, or any other thing to help lube up your penis?
A. YES. It does matter what you use. Some liquids are meant for cleaning and washing and for helping stop pain. If you get the wrong things in the head of your penis or on the sensitive skin of your penis, you might break out with a rash or it may hurt to urinate for one or 2 days. I recommend here to use common sense. If it is soap, conditioner, Icy Hot, BenGay, don't use it!!! You may not enjoy the end results which will be a rash or some type of penis pain. Some lotions can cause the same thing. If you accidentally use something that causes pain, wash the area with warm water and dry carefully. Then wait a couple days for it to heal. Your penis won't fall off or become broken but if something is getting you worried, always seek a Dr.s advise or check with one of your parents. USE KY or other type of hand lotion.. There isn't a right or wrong one.
Q. Can you use a condom to masturbate?
A. YES. It will not matter if you use a condom or not. Some people are allergic to condoms because they are made with latex. So if after using one and it hurts to pee, it could be one of 3 things. 1. It could be the condom itself because of the lates
2. It could be because of the lube that the condom had in it from the factory
3. It could be because of the lube that you added to the condom.
I think I have covered most of the questions but I'll post more later if needed.
Have fun everyone and enjoy the masturbation! It's fun, relaxing, and quite exciting. Be safe and enjoy
hey pples! i think masterbation is a great answer for many people, including myself. i'm 23 and abstinant, partly for spiritual reasons, and the other is because i have such a high libido i'm afraid that i might get addicted to it if i start now. i mean, i'll probibly give in once i meet a guy that's worth it. lol, i always feel like the old maid on campus since my classmates are all sexual veterians now at my age and younger, but hey, it's my life and i don't want to go on the pill since i have a funky heart. anyway, i am a christain and there is nothing in the bible that states anything bad about masterbation. the ony thing that comes close is looking at a woman (or man) in lust is commiting sin in your heart. so i don't see anything wrong as long as you skip the visual imagery of another person via pictures or imagination. hey, it's how i got this far without giving it up to some loser i was dating and now waiting for a better fish this go round without a problem. i just wonder if there are the same mental health benefits to masterbation as there is to couples having sex and to what degree? namely with mental health disorders like depression, bipolar I and II, anxiety, OCD, etc. anyone know?
Ok...i've known how to masturbate since i was around 3 years old. I've never been raped or sexually assaulted. Somehow I've always known what to touch and how to do it to get myself off. My question is...if this is normal or has anyone else ever experienced this or known someone else who has? I still continue to masturbate today but now that I'm older i know what I'm actually doing. In the past it has been because i liked the feeling. I do not overboard on masturbating but I am very sexual even though I never had sex before. Please respond with answers or stories related.
hey,
i am 18 and i really never masturbated that much know I have a boyfriend and he feels me up down there over my pantie sometimes he trys to put his finger anyway it hurts is that normal i thought it was maybe he needed to cut his nails or somthing but it really hurt does someone have an answer

can masturbating shrink breasts or slow/stop the growth?
mine should be growing, but they arent (or are so slow that i havent noticed it)
they were growing normally then i started and they have stayed the same since then
HELP!!!!
Hello everyone, I'm no doctor, but I have more that probably anyone who is not a doctor on the topic. I know this can be a scary and embarrassing topic, but it doesn't have to be. I'll try to respond to as many as I can.
To the last person before my first post: Masturbation typically does not affect things like breast size/growth rate, and physical stuff like that. It is possible that you have a hormonal condition, but it is unlikely that masturbation caused it. If you think you have a serious problem you should see a doctor, but breast size and growth is genetic. If you are worried a doctor is your safest best choice.
To the 24 year old virgin : First of all the first time you have sex will usually hurt. There is a membrane ,called the hymen, which breaks with first time penile penetration. Chances are if you are not going all the way this may not be totally broken, explaining the recurring pain, or you are not lubricated enough. As for the bump that is your clitoris, a small nub about the size of a pea, that has many nerve endings . It is left from your embryonic stage before birth, if you had become a man, that nub would have become a penis. Many people find it pleasurable to touch during intercourse. I would tell you to wait to get married to go all the way, but that is your decisions. As always if you are concerned you should err on the side of caution and see a doctor.
to the 18 year old woman with pain :
If you don't have much sexual experience it is likely the first time it just hurts. Secondly you may not be lubricated enough. Or he may be being too rough, or he does need to cut his nails like you said. So to answer you question the first times usually hurt for women. If you are concerned you should see a doctor, they can tell you a lot more.
To the one who has masturbated since he/she was 3 :
I had a similar experience. Almost the same actually, except I was older maybe 8 - 10 years old. Other than the age difference its almost totally the same. No one had to tell me, and I never saw it on TV, or was assaulted. I do not know how common this experience is, but I doubt we are alone.
To the 23 Christian : I mostly agree with you. However as a woman you may not understand that men are highly visual, much more than women, so it is very hard not to picture or imagine someone. I'd say its better to avoid, or wean off of, than risk it. I would also encourage you not to give it up until you get married, you have waited this long you should stay the course. As for it helping mental disorders I think very little research has been done in that field, I assume there would be some ethical issues about studying masturbation on people with mental disorders.
most people don't masturbate as much as they think they do. i have been masturbating since i was 2 or 3,. so if you don't experience at least headaches from frequent masturbation then you must not do alot. i have had headaches and backaches for as long as i can remember, but i was able to stop for 3 months straight with absolutely no masturbating, and the aches went away. of course i could not stay away for too long. but people who are really addicted to masturbation will experience at least headaches. especially if they started before they were even 5.
how many of you would consider yourselves addicted? i'm talking about
more than 3 times a day on a regular basis
wanting to masturbate even when your not horny
masturbating so much during the week that your clit dries and shrinks to the point where you can't do anything with it
masterbating until you get period cramps
that's only the half of it. if you don't have it that bad or worse then you can't even talk about what's a myth about masturbation.
they don't tell you that it makes you sleepy all the time and that you can't remember any freakin thing. i'm only 18, and that's how it's wracked my body. if you start at 18 and keep doing it then u might not have symptoms, its when you start really young.
does every woman bleed the first time she has sex? and does using a dildo while masterbating help rip hymen?
Hey its still me, I lost my password, and had to make a new profile.
Most women who have not had any deep penetration will bleed the first time they have sex. If you use some sort of sex toy it will break the hymen, if you fully penetrate, some women who use sex toys, or fingers, do not go all the way in, so their first time they will bleed. If you do fully penetrate with a sex toy it will break your hymen, and you will most likely bleed. A small percentage of women are simply born without a hymen, less than 10% , and will not bleed. I would encourage you to wait till you're married, but remember to be safe, and if you have any health questions see a doctor.
To the person that has been masturbating since they were "2 or 3 " : First off practically no children have the motor function or muscle memory to facilitate masturbation at such a young age. Secondly few people begin before they are five, minus abuse. Thirdly masturbating does not cause memory loss, of course if you are thinking about all day instead of a paying attention to daily life it may cause symptoms like memory loss. Fourthly if you have memory loss or sleepiness at age 18 you should see a doctor asap because you may have any number of illnesses.
hey i masturbate a lot...and i mean a lot. I'm talkin 5 to 10 times a day unless I'm at a friend's house or something, but lately when I'm done, the piss afterwards burns like hell and when i stop peeing it feels like i still need to go. what's up with that? and sometimes my testicles hurt too. Is that related? my e-mail is smog849371@yahoo.com
i masturbate 5 or 4 times a week, it doesn't stunt your growth, I'm 14 and almost 15, as tall as my dad, great complection, and thick hair, and to everyone.. MASTURBATION IS OKAY! IT'S PERFECTLY NORMAL, DONT BE SO WORRIED!
Hi! I have a question, every time after I masturbate or have sex, I feel like if my penis got very weak, and I got the same sensation all over my body. Actually, I can not have another erection for a couple of days. Could this be a sign of a sickness? pls somebody could answer me? I'm 50 yrs old, but I've been having this problem for a long while.
I started to masturbate around 12, and now I am 67, and still doing it. I have a beautiful Filipina wife, and we have a happy sex life. However, whenever I see women in tight jeans, I get an erection, and feel the need to masturbate.
Hi i was just wondering if that masterbating can lead to pregnancy??
i've been doing i for quite a while now and just this past month hae skipped a period...
i have a boyfriend but farthest we've gone is just kissing.
Can anyone ease my worry???
About 3 months ago i had my first sexual intercourse with my girlfriend. I am 17 and i started mastubating at age 11 or 12. Me and my girl have had sex 8 times since the first time we did it. I only ejaculated 3 times out of the 8 times we had sex. Could masturbation be causing me to lose the ability to ejaculate during intercourse. If so what can i do about it. Please help...

girl asking if masturbation can cause pregnacy...
I have been masturbating for quite a while now me being single and all, but you cant get pregnant without semen. If your doing it alone and havent done anything thing with your boyfriend then your probably safe. I have missed periods to i think it might just be a hormone imbalance or something. If you get to worried go see the doc, they will be able to tell you whats going on.
To answer the questions about if masturbating affects growth of the penis, no it does not. Also, the penis usually does not stop growing until the age of 18 and in some cases 21. I'm 16 and have a penis size just over 6 inches and the average size is 5.5 to 6.5 inches so you don't need to worry if yours is between those two numbers.
i'm still a virgin but i have masturbated before and i want to know can masturbation cause you not to feel like a virgin anymore?
everytime even if i dont go in all the way when i masturbate i bleed does anyone know why this is? i think at times its my body please if you have a answer email me at buttrfly61488@yahoo.com
for the girl who worries she is pregnant by using a dildo...you're NOT! maybe your monthly period cycle isn't regular so just wait it will come..
Ladies, you will bleed if your hymen still intact. Once it break, u will start enjoying the pleasure of SEX.
According to studies, the average penis size is 5 inches. It also depends on your genetics & race.
masturbation is normal as expert says. As my self, I do it to release tension & stress and a goodnight sleep!!!
To others out there like me, i've masturbated since I was 4. I never knew what I was doing...I didn't know why, I just had this urge. I have no traumatic past or anything of the sorts. One day, I learned what it was and was like "Oh...that's what it is?" I'm 18 now, and I still wonder why I did it at such a young age...with no prior knowlege or experience. I'm beyond baffled. If anyone has any answers it would be fantastic.
there is nothing wrong with masturbating. ive been doing since i was 11 yo and its great. for the anonymous person having problems with his gf, masturbating 4-5 times a day is a bit much, especially if u having sex. my advice to u would be to not masturbate if u know ur going to have sex for a couple days. that way, when u do have sex, u will get hard with no problem and be able to satisfy ur girl. im 35 yo with 2 kids and thats something i have always done. take the advice.
hi, my names david and im 16 years old.
ive been masturbating for over a year now, regularly, and ive been noticing a curve to the left in my penis, im not sure if its always been like that or not, but its really concerning me.
and ive heard that if you masturbate too much with one hand it will curve your penis, is this true?
and is there any non-surgical way i can fix this issue?
I have been masturbating for about a year, and I have noticed a slight curve to the left on my penis. Is there any non surgical way to fix this. I feel so guilty.
I think masterbation is healthy and normal, even if my mother always condemned me for it and made be feel ashamed when she caught me. I do have a question. I used to enjoy using a detachable shower head, using the hard spray to hit my clitoris. This felt great. but then I read in a magazine that this could cause infections. So I stopped using this method. I have been enjoying using an electric toothbrush. I even have shown my boyfreind just how I like to have it done. He is concerned because I like to use the Bristle part. (I don't brush my teeth wih this same brush however!) It just feels really good. i even orgasim. Can the bristles cause any harm?
I am a girl and my best friend is a guy. We were both virgins, until about a month or two ago. We were talking about how we were nervous about not knowing what to do when the event arose to have sex. So we decided that since we trusted eachother we would experiment together. We got a cheap hotel room so we could be alone. (We also got a little liquor he stole from his mom because we thought it might help us to relax.) We used a condom everytime. The first time we were both really nervous and just tried kissing and touching, but when we start to put on the condom it snapped him and he lost his erection. So then we waited a little while, watching movies and such (drinking a little) until we got up the nerve to try again. This time I put his condom on the way they showed in health class. I laid back and we tried the whole kissing and stroking thing again, but when he tried to put his penis in my vagaina it didn't seem to want to go in. (He was hard but starting to go soft again) So I suggest that we both masterbate the way we do when we are alone. this helped a bit. I showed him how i masterbated and he showed me what he did, so we did it to eachother. And when he was hard again I put on another condom and we tried again. This time he was able to put it in and went really fast. It hurt really bad so he stopped. I put some lube stuff we got from his brother (I squirted it in side me.) then I told him go slow, and he did, It still really hurt a bit but I heard that after awhile it would not hurt so much, So I wanted him to keep going. I don't see what the big deal is about it, all it seemed to be is a bunch of rubbing down there until a was raw. We tried a few times that day, But I don't think I like sex because it never really felt good, and then I was just sore afterwards. so what is the big deal about sex?
The girl who had sex with her bestfriend who is a guy. First I was thinking maybe the liquor ineterfered with you getting wet, but then you said you used lube. it could be that you were just analzying it too much and then not relaxing. You gotta relax. AND also, how good of friends are you? DO you have feelings for him? maybe that is why you didn't get anything out of it, because it was just sex. Have you tried it again since?
The guy with the penis that curves to the left. There is nothing wrong with you and you don't need to get it fixed. A lot of guys penises curve. And it can be benefical sometimes when doing the deed for real! *wink*
I am 15 year old girl. My boyfriend is a friend of the family and he is 21. My mom and dad know that he is my boyfriend. I am on the pill now.
I am a 13 year old boy. I have tried mastubating but no seamen comes out? is this a bad thing or is something wrong with me? also my friend tells me he hasnt had sperm come out but he hasnt gone through puberty! do you need to go through puberty to have seamen come out? or is masturbating stopping him from ejaculating sperm cause he hasnt hit puberty??? PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!!!
Is it still possible to get a girl pregnant by masturbating on her vagina or does it HAVE TO BE during intercourse?
I've been masturbating for two years now at least once or twice a day (if I'm not busy). Is that a "harmful amount"? Also, does masturbation ultimately lead to (women's) cervical cancer or any other STDs?
Masterbation is great. Always before a date.. as a guy if i "releive the pressure" before we go out i can focus more on just having fun. ive been doing it 4 times a day for 10 years and it hasnt affected my sexual ability. I think it incresed my stamina. as i can last for 45min to hour and a half. Also i have insomnia and it helps me to sleep with out the negative effects of a sleep aid
can u have short term memory loss? cuz i have seemed to lose my short memory lately after doin it for a year.
To the person who feels guilty of masturbation and is also a devote christian. I have struggled for a long time with the same thing that you do. Is it normal, what will my parents think, is it a sin? And all of the other questions that come along with it. Well, I finally came to the conclusion that it's a natural part of life. And as long as it doesn't control your entire life then it's really no big deal. If you want you can email me at wienerschnitzel4@msn.com
Hope that helps.

if seamen come out of your penis seek immediate medical attention
they should only be coming out of ships and submarines, lol
but in all seriousness either little or no semen will come out prior to puberty so dont worry about it, puberty starts at different ages for all people so relax and enjoy
I am 15 and i used to masturbate a lot, like almost every day. I stopped for a while but now it is much harder for me to get an erection, why is this happening?

After harsh masturbation, it seems like the skin won't retract and there seem to be small lumps. I am uncisrcumsized, can anyone help me? what can i do?
My husband and I have been together for 8 years and have 4 wonderful children. He was not my first, but I was his first. The first time we had intercourse he was nervous and didn't know much of anything. After 8 years and 4 children and don't forget the vasectomy. We have a great loving relationship. We masterbate together, use toys, different positions, movies and just old fashioned missionary position love making. With all said, if you love someone, care for them, respect them, then no matter what religion you are, wheather your the first for them or there the first for you, anything you two share together or do together is special. We do it all, and we love every minute of it, and we even laugh at eachother when were trying something new. Enjoy one another....life is to short to worry about things. If your truly concerned about situations or medical issues see a Dr. otherwise explore things together.
Take Care
Love, Laugh, and learn.
i love all the rumors about masturbation...
seriously, its no different than good old fashioned sex. you're just replacing someone else's body with your hand, or a toy. masturbation cant cause anything that sex doest.

I have this kinda big deal of a problem and I'm not exactly sure where to talk about it. This is my first time ever on this site or even talking about this with anyone besides my girlfriend. Ok. I'm gay and a girl. Everytime my girlfriend and I have sex its not a good ending. The only way we do... Well... Is with our fingers. Masturbation you know... Thats the only way we know how. Its a first for both of us. And everything goes fine until I stray to bleed. Every single time. We don't know what it is and we are both really scared not does it kill the moment, but randomly it will just start hurting inside. And I don't stop bleeding for like a 24 hours. We don't know what to do and I and my girlfriend would really like some help. We are still really far in the closet. Please help us?
Ok so i've heard a million times that girls have a penis too, it's just really small and you can't see it. So i was wondering if anyone knows for a fact that girls have a penis too and if it's just the size of an acorn so you can't see it as well as a mans penis.

RIGHT 4 EVERYONE THAT'S ASKING; "CAN I GET PREGNANT THROUGH MASTERBATION" THE ANSWER IS ONLY IF YOU HAVE SEMEN ON WHATEVER YOU ARE MASTERBATING WITH, FOR EXAMPLE: IF YOU ORR WHOEVER IS "PLAYING WITH YOU" HAS SEMEN ON THEIR HANDS AND THEY THEN TOUCH IN OR AROUND YOUR VAGINA THEN THERE IS A RISK THAT YOU COLOUD GET PREGNANT, HOWEVER IF WHATEVER YOU ARE TOUCHING YOURSELF IS PROPERLY CLEANED WITH NO SEMEN ON THEN YOU ARE NOT AT RISK OF BECOMING PREGNANT. BUT OF COURSE IF YOU HAVE PROPER SEXUAL INTERCOURSE THERE IS ALWAYS A SMALL RISK THAT YOU COULD BECOME PREGNANT WITH CONDOMS CARRYING A 2%FAILURE RATE, THE PILL A LITTLE LESS, SO WHEN THINKING OF HAVING SEX FOR THE FIRST TIME OR ANY TIME FOR THAT MATTER DON'T DO IT WITHOUT KNOWING THE FULL CONSEQUENCES, IF YOU NEED HELP OR JUST TO TALK TO SOMEONE EITHER GO 2 YOUR DOCTOR OR GO TO CONNEXIONS AND ASK TO SEE A NURSE, THEY'RE REALLY HELPFUL.
JUS SO YOU AREN'T THINKING THAT I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT ... I DO I'M ONLY 15 BUT I HAVE HAD FULL PEER MENTOR TRAINING AND I WORK WITH YOUNG PEOPLE EDUCATING THEM ABOUT ISSUES LIKE THIS REGULARLY.
I HOPE I WAS SOME HELP =]
can massturbation make your penis smaller? like if u masturbate before puberty??? answer my question please! i really really really need to know.
I'm a 15 year old female who has been masturbating since I was 12. It doesn't damage anything, sitting for hours on the computer does. My vision is horrible, I can't see without contacts or glasses, but that's not because I masturbate. It helps me. I have very low self esteem and masturbating makes me feel better about it; also it takes away my headaches, at least for a little bit.
My only fear is that I won't enjoy sex as much as masturbating! Haha.
I am scared to masturbate. I am also scared that semen or something will be left in the bathroom or me and it will give me or someone a disease. I am also scared that it will be on me when i go to work or whatever. If i do masturbate i clean the whole bathroom when i am finished and i have to take 2 baths before i feel clean. Also, i have no more oil in my hands and they are diffrent colors because i wash them so much. i dont know what to do and it drives me crazy. If you can help me please write to Atchafalaya2777@aol.com. Thanks so very much.
hey im 15, ive masterbated since i was about 12 1-2 times a day, lately there has been this lump on the left side of my penis, last night i looked at it, and its red, it has grown, and it hurts extremely bad if i even touch it, is it an STD, it is Cancer, is it from Masterbating PLZ IM FREAKING OUT help me email me @ Guitar_Masta1350@yahoo.com or post thanks
Alex R,
There's no way for anyone to tell you what it is across the Internet. If it hurts, you should have it evaluated by a health professional for a diagnosis and treatment.
thank you
hello Iam a 25 year old confused male. I think I have a problem I really enjoy masterbating but I seem to do to often. Take for example today Ive done it 6 times and I have not even eaten breakfast yet. I like to play around my anius while I do the deed. does this mke me a freak?I cant tell anyone else about my problems.
"Okay, Im 18 and I'm a virgin because I havent had true sex, but my first time my girlfriend and I masterbated eachother, and it really helped out our relationship. It helped us get comfortable about masterbation and we have talked about masterbation alone and our experiences. Now that girlfriend and I broke up because we had to move. Now I masterbate about once every day or once every couple days. It just depends on how my body and mind feels that day. Now what is weird is that there's this new girl that I am mentally and physically attracted to, but I am not the type of person who is aggressive and when we hug my penis feels odd. It is almost like a partial of a climax and afterwards I go home and I see that I have let out alittle bit of semen during that time... and that little bit shows through my jeans and I quickly change. Im sure that nobody has notice, but the fact that it happened made me embarrassed. Is it when I hug her for an extended ammount of time my body becomes aroused on its own because of my love for her? Ive also noticed that after that has happened when I go to masterbate it has a little bit of a stinging sensation when I ejaculate. Has anyone had this type of a situation. "
my boyfriend does that too, its just pre-ejaculate dont worry about it its not actual cum or anythng its actually just a natural lubricant when u r horny before sex.
Hi, I am 44 married 19 years 6 kids very happy, there is nothing wrong with materbation at all I do it 3 times a day regardless if my wife and I have sex in the AM before work. at lunch and in the PM.. I also must say if you like a orgasmn you never had try massaging your prostate with a dildo or a household object you will have the most intensed orgasmn in your life, also you can cum just massaging your prostate with out masterbating.
Wow, tons of questions on here! I'm gonna try to give as much general information as I can.
1.As long as YOU are the only person who has touched your genitals, then NO you cannot get an std.
2.You cannot get pregnant as long as YOU are the only person who has touched your genitals.
3.Masturbating does not cause hair loss or any other "symptoms."
4.There is absolutely nothing you can do to make your penis bigger or smaller- sorry, it's genetic. same with your height- can't change it.
5.Yes ladies, it's going to hurt when you have sex the first time, and most likely you are going to bleed. this is caused by the hymen breaking. on rare occassions, the hymen is broken by other things, such as tampons. keep in mind i said this is RARE.
6. NO you can't get cancer from masturbating!
7.Okay, for anyone that posted questions about weird symptoms- just go to the doctor! If your penis gets red/swollen often this is not normal. if you have bumps it's not normal. just save yourself the worry and stress and go get it checked out. don't be embarrassed- 9 times out of 10 they've seen or heard something waaay worse than whatever you're going in there for!
8. masturbation is not bad for you! just be smart about it- make sure your hands (or vibrator) are clean! Girls can easily get an infection (not std) if dirt/bacteria get in the vagina. use common sense- some things were definitely not made to be put into your vagina!
9.i'm baffled by the people who asked if masturbation causes your penis to shrink... NO it does NOT! think about it- if your penis were to shrink, where would it go? I mean, it's not like part of your penis is just going to disappear...
10.specifically to "anonymous" who wrote that he 'heard Jesus jacked off to make dying easier'... you're a jerk, and I hope those first degree burns feel good.
11.go ahead and hump the bed if that's what you want. no harm done. except maybe to your mattress.
12. you don't always have to have actual "intercourse" to get pregnant. even if semen just comes in contact around or outside the vagina, it is possible for that semen to travel into the vagina. best bet is to be safe. use a condom even if you aren't having intercourse and are just "messing around."
13. To the girl who is "not even 13 yet" and has been masturbating for awhile- no, it doesn't cause cancer. You said you hadn't ever even had a period yet, but are having cramps. This could be caused by many things. Maybe your body is getting ready to go thru puberty. Maybe you're just having gas pains. Or it could be something more serious. Check it out with your doctor if it keeps up.
14.WE (FEMALES) DON'T HAVE PENISES! Females do have a clitoris- totally different from a penis though. The clitoris is packed with nerve endings, making it especially sensitive. The clitoris is what would have grown to be a penis had the embryo gotten a "Y" chromosome.
It's not bad or wrong, or anything else, to masturbate as long as you don't let it interfere with your life or relationships. It's also not bad or uncommon to NOT masturbate. it's a personal preference. however, my personal opinion is that masturbating helps people to get to know their own bodies- especially for women. It helps women to know what they like, what they don't like, etc. Either way, it's a personal choice. just be smart and be safe- and use common sense!
Me and my partner masturbate each other. And I have had my hymen broken before. But when my partner and I... Well you know... I will bleed agian and agian I seams like everytime. My partner won't even touch me anymore. They are afraid of hurting me. But it doesn't hurt and I keep telling them that. Can anyone help? Our relationship is a secret and I can't really go to the doctor. Will it heal?
for a long period of time i masturbated daily and after a while it started to get harder to climax and after a while it seemed like my sensitivity went away some and my head has become a bit more rough and is red half the time when not hard, are there any problems there that i should get looked at?
One of the biggest myths about masturbation is that if your not doing it you're considered abnormal or labeled self righteous. Another myth is today if your not having sex in some way your self expression and body will not develop properly before marriage. Non masturbators are not stressed out people that need to release tension. There are people who choose not to let that slab or slit of meat in between their legs dominate their thinking. The mind set is you have to try it out first to see if it's to work right. It's not a yeah right(rolling of eyes) everybody does it. It's a yeah right people pressure others into feeling guilty about not masturbating. Besides everyone is doing it(masturbating) right???? Sex isn't the goal of life it's in addition too life if you choose to use it! Oh wait...that doesn't fit into main stream thinking. Oh well time will tell how effective other ways of thinking will be.

Oh my oh my...I can tell that "sex ed" is really dead. I had health class and have read many books about sex and masturbation (if you know how to read it might be good to get a book). I am Methodist and married and although I wouldnt get up on the pulpit, masturbation is NOT a sin. God made our bodies and made us sexual beings...put the two together. It says NOTHING about it in the Bible. I am a church secretary so I have an inside connection to MANY teachings. If you want to do it do it, there is evidence that it really is ok and not harmful! Do it dont do it... To the older man that posted: "I am a 56 year old male. and for the last 5-7 years when i masterbate and come to an orgasem there is no seamen or a few drops if that it's very frustrating. is there an answer for this. Could it be that i am a recovering addict from the use of opetes and have been on methadone for the last 5 years. i have not had intercorse in about the same time 5-7 years In recovery and frustrated" Its true that the drugs can lower the sperm out put but men can go through a change of life also. If its painful after you do it, see a uroligist. And all the people that think THEIR reading of the Bible makes them "better" email me aajosephs@mchsi.com cause there is a line "Offer Christ, but no man shall judge or be judged by any other than the Lord" It is not your right to condem people!
Some guy on a sports talk show in losing a bet is going to come into the studio and sit on an open tube of Bengay inside his underwear.
So I googled and found this site and found out it could cause a rash. I also found the comments about masturbation amusing and educational.
I also wondered whether the percentage of males being circumcised has increased or decreased over the last forty years.
I am 14 years old and I have been masturbating alot here lately. I am not circumsized and on the right side of the head of my penis it is very raw. It stings when I touch it and it is very uncomfortable. Do I just need to lay off masturbating for a while or do I have a bigger issue on my hands?
ok for anyone asking about rashes or anything on their penis, yes laying off masturbation for a week or so should be your best bet, i was scared shitless when that happened to me a few years ago when i was doing it very frequently without lotion, to this day ive never used it. Anyway ive got a question too, I just started college this month and since i was 12 ive normally masturbated once daily, 3+ for a few years there. But, since i have roommates now i dont think it would be respectful to masturbate in our room and dont really feel safe about them walking in, so i went from masturbating every day for 6 years(longest ever break being about a week) to not masturbating at all this month. anyway, i came home and did it, the first time it literally took me around 15 seconds but thats gotten back to normal, but my semen is really clear and less white, more liquidy and has an almost bubbly texture, any idea whats wrong?
hey I was wondering if having a 41/2 in. Penis is normal for the age of 14 please tell me at atvracer105@yahoo.com
Actually, your body does know if it's your hand or not. Your brain controls your entire body, which, last time I checked, included your hands.

I am in my late 50s and have been masturbating since I was 24, when I discovered I had a genetic disorder. Once I started taking tesetosterone shots, I was very aroused, but over the years I have developed a fetish for going to the bathroom in my jeans, and have to do that before I masturbate. Crazy, huh?
I just found out that my husband will sometimes masturbate while thinking of another woman. Actually thinking of having sex with her. I can't help but feel so upset by this. Are my feelings normal? I'm not ok with this and feel so hurt and betrayed.
Alright Im going to answer a few questions bare with me here.
1. You can not become impregnated if you are the only one who has touched your vagina.
2. You can not get an STD if you are the only who has touched your vagina/penis.
3. The hymen can be broken from vigorous masturbation, tamptons, sex obviously, and if you hit a pot hole on a bike hard enough, we've a winner.
4. If you've a red painful patch on your penis, leave it alone for a while, chances are its just a sore, same for the vagina.
5. If you feel a lump on either side of your testicles, its the (dr. insert word for little tubey thing attached to testi's and urethra)
6. Women do not have penis' its a clitoris. It would have been a penis had the egg recieved the y chromosone. And men, you were all women at one point so :) hence the nipples, we all start as women.
7. If it hurts to masturbate, men and women, STOP. Use common sense.

I'm 28 yrs old me and my husband have been together for 14yrs (since h.s) and now we have been married for 8yrs. I complain alot about not having enough sex and sometimes I tell him he make me seem like the freak in the relationship for wanting it so much. It make me feel like he cant keep up with me. I know that he be tired from work and i try to respect that, but it starting to be hard what should I do?
I LOVE TO MASTERBATE THATS PROBALY THE MOST WONDERFUL BACK TO BACK ORAGASM A WOMAN CAN HAVE BECAUSE YOU ARE IN CONTROL AND YOU CAN KEEP IT WHERE YOU WANT IT ALL THE TIME.
i masterbate alot, and threw out my years of masterbation i've noticed my testicales shrank....will they grow back to their normal size if i stop ?? please someone answer series question.
OK..the hymen dosn't hurt when it is broken!! sex can hurt alot of the time. the hymen is only a thin membrain and can be broken when incerting a tampon or by troma(like a hard fall).
well I have been masturbating since I found out the shower head could do wonders which was when I was like 8 now when I started to actually have sex I can not have a orgasm yet alone cum is this because of me masturbating for so long.
I truly believe sex is not what you can "get" but rather what you can "give" to your spouse. I support celibacy until marriage and believe though it's MEGA hard it's going to be worth the wait. So with this conviction in mind, masturbation is a self-serving act which demotes the purpose of sex and why it was made. God is no killjoy! He created sex and for us to enjoy and become one with our spouse (Not just for procreation) but when we ill-use this that's when it becomes a problem. It's sad people miss this awesome truth today!!
i would like to know if it is that masturbation can infertality
i am 19 and a virgin. i've never had sex, oral, handjob, anything. and i have noticed that i have been getting warts on the palm of my right hand and i think that they are from masturbating. i had one pop up about a year ago and it spread causing 3 more to spring up, so i got them surgically removed. i haven't masturbated in about 6 months until about a week ago and i noticed that i have a wart coming up in the center of my palm. i'm too embarrassed to go to the doctor, but if i find out it could be something serious, i will. but i want to know that it could be something wrong before i go to the doctor. can anybody tell me what the deal is?

Will frequent, long-term masturbation cause your body to lose motor skills? Sometimes I wonder because whenever I flex certain parts of my body, they tend to shake pretty violently. I'm 28, been doing since 12 I believe. I don't masturbate as much as I used to but I'm starting to worry now becasue whenever I sleep, my body suffers minor twitches.
Hi I'm an 18 year old girl and let me just say that I masturbate quite often and there isn't a thing wrong with it! All of my friends do it, too, and it is a completely normal part of being human. Why would it feel good if we weren't supposed to do it?
MASTURBATION IS THE BEST!!! I do it whenever possible. I have been doing it for two years now, and at first thought that I had a problem, but now I have smartened up, and do it at least five times a weak, but i notice that my penis head gets sensitive and 'weak'. Is there a health concern, or is it just from over-use?
Hi i am a 14 year old guy. i masturbate almost every day and i was wondering if masturbating affets the size of your penis. and i was wondering if it is okay to get an erection every morning. please tell me:) abcgum1994@yahoo.com thx.
Hello,I am a 15 year old female and masterbation is a great way to minimize stress. but I was just wondering if you people use a picture or porn or a vibrator? I am not sure what to use porn works best for me. I have also used the removable shower head with the hose you know. it works too. but yeah just looking for more ideas.
Hello,
I haven't masturbated in about a month, yet for some reason, whenever I get an erection, I'm getting a little pre-ejaculatory fluid and I'm not even touching myself to cause this. Is this normal?
Oh and does pre-cum cause baldness?
I am 23 f and a virgin so you may not take what i have to say seriously. Widow's Peaks are a genetic thing not caused by masturbation. The comment about masturbating causing testosterone to turn into DHT is not giving you all the info. It isn't just masturbation that is causing the transformation to DHT. It is the entire arousal process. Your body doesn't say to itself, " I used my hands or a toy to pleasure myself, because of that testosterone has to change to DHT." If you really go by what this guy is saying, masturbating 3 times a week causing hair loss, you would have to take into consideration that it would mean being aroused 3 times a week causes hair loss. Not only that but hair loss and male pattern baldness is once again a genetic trait. So if the men on your dad's side of the family or your mom's but mostly dad's (if i recall correctly) are bald then you have a pretty good chance of losing your hair also. But I say don't worry about it. Some girls like bald guys.
they say masturbatuion causes prostate cancer. im kinda worrid about that. i cant help my self to stop masturbating. specialy when i dindnt masturbate for a days.
It is amazing as I read these posts, how many people are illiterate about sex. Let me share some information so that some of these questions can be answered. First off, masturbation does not cause prostate cancer. Masturbation actually prevents prostate cancer. Secondly, for that one post about getting an erection while hugging for extended amounts of time and the release of a fluid, this is normal. The body gets excited and an erection occurs. The body then prepares and releases "precum" which is a fluid that clears the path for the actual semen. (makes sure there is no acidity substances like urine that could kill the semen during ejaculation)
Masturbation is not a sin. The human body needs orgasms and masturbation can achieve this. For that one post about falling asleep after masturbation, for men, after ejaculation a certain "system" is activated (the sleep and restore..cant remember the name exactly), but the ideal is the same. After ejaculation, the body gets ready to rest, so falling asleep is very normal.
Also for the other post about your partner falling asleep then masturbating, this is also normal. This can occur and has a name (but I don't know it). You shouldn't worry, but if it is bugging you, I suggest you talk to your partner and a physician.
Lastly for the post about the guy who has an overactive libido and has strange side effects. I would suggest you see a psychologist and a physician immediately. These are not side effects from not masturbating, but mental problems. You have to have self control and masturbate in moderation. If you cannot, I would suggest changing your diet and seeing a psychologist.
Please read up on sex and educate yourselves. Knowledge is power.

I feel that I need to post again to answer some of the questions that didn't get answered.
First let's talk about curves in the penis. The penis can curve from masturbating, but can easily be fixed. If you simply curve it in the opposite direction, slowly but surely, the curve will be reversed. This also applies to if the penis is bent downward/upward.
Next let's talk about these CRAZY myths about masturbation being linked to cancer, baldness, hairy palms, sweaty palms, and that kid with the sweaty sack.
There has been lots of research done on masturbation. In none of the research did baldness or hairy/sweaty palms come up. Prostate cancer is reduced through masturbation. When you masturbate you stimulate the prostate and much research has shown that your highly reduce the chances of prostate cancer. For women, you cannot get cancer from masturbating! Lastly, the guy with the sweaty sack; use some baby powder after a shower to combat the excessive sweatiness. Many men have this problem, but it will go away over time. Masturbation does not cause sweaty testicles.
For those that have any concerns about their genital area including little to no semen during ejaculation, SEE A DOCTOR! Don't be embarrassed, they have seen much, much, worse things than what you have and they themselves most likely masturbate. They also will not tell your parents about you masturbating, and if it is a concern, ask them to keep it private.
For the one question about sexual activity in children, I have an answer. You should talk to a doctor. Children are very sexually curious. Masturbation may occur when a child is young, but it is not something to worry about. Many children are curious about their bodies and if the child is not too young, you should teach them what they are curious about (or else they will end up like all these people that seem to know next to nothing about the body and sex/masturbation).
If you are thinking about girls whilst you masturbate, you may be curious. I would say to explore these feelings (hopefully when you are older--not at 16). Being gay or bisexual is nothing to be ashamed of.
For the girl who wanted to know of other ways to masturbate, there are many different ways. First off, I would implore you to use your imagination. Pornographic material, dildo, vibrators, your fingers, shower head, anything that vibrates, fruits, vegetables, etc etc. Vibrators are the most satisfying, but it differs from person to person. Stimulating the clitoris is the most likely option and should be tried. (It feels really good)
Lastly, to all these boys that are 15-18 that have been masturbating for 2-4 years; stop worrying so much. 95% of men and 86% of women masturbate. Do you think that masturbation causes harm if so many people do it and so much research has been done on it? Enjoy your body. Use it in every way imaginable.
It seems that Sexual Education has been reduced to nothing. It is such a shame that kids at the age of 15 are misconstrued about sex. If you are curious about the act of sex, the effects of sex, the joys of sex, different ways to have sex, and any other thing that you can relate to sex, ask an adult. A teacher, parent (that's embarrassing, but vital to knowledge), or visit wikipedia and read articles from trusted sites like WebMD.
I would also like to add that I am no professional, though I have had extensive studies in sexology as well as many experiences. You don't have to take my advice, but at least learn. Knowledge is power.

How do you remove bumps around the penis head? plz reply
okay to the guy who's 36. im sure if you have ur own room you can lock it and pleasure urself without neither of ur parents catching you. i live with family and i please myself in my own room and my door is locked
I believe that masturbation is a healthy and normal thing to do. I am a 33 year old woman. I have 3 children. I masterbate when I get the urge. If I don't let myself get some release then I am a witch to my kids. I don't like being a witch to them. I stopped having sex after my oldest was born. I didn't have intercourse with anyone for 7 years. I wouldn't have been the same if I hadn't masterbated.
I masturbate almost once a week, it feels so good. Rubbing on my clitoris, then i cum. Then here comes orgasm! But it does make me feel like i dont have to go out and find someone to have sex with when I can just do it myself.
I still believe that tha body is the home of the Holy spirit and if we do things to our bodies such as masturbate, it just defeats the purpose that God intended for us to have intercoarse. The natural way...to have kids and with a female that you love and trust. My opinion is not to give yourself pleasure just for the feeling of it and to do it for the right reasons.
Ok, so here's the deal. I'm early twenties. I can get erections. But it takes a long time for me to 'recharge'. It used to be that I'd do it every day, maybe few times a day. And if I knew a 'date' with a girl was coming up, I might not do it the night before so I'd be more ready to go for the big night. And that worked. But now it's gotten to the point where...I like wait a week between ejaculations. Is it natural to just recharge slowly or if I discharge more will it produce faster and I'll be ready to go more quickly?
