Yes, and there's nothing wrong with it.  Your body has a lot of hormones, and it is a natural release.  It won't harm your health or body, and many studies show that frequent ejaculation is good for you.  So it's no problem.

Masturbating is healthy as long as you dont do it every day. In my opinion you shouldn't stop masturbating(but if u really want to quit then get a g/f or b/f)

i dont know whats up with all the unnecessary words but i can tell you that masturbating doesnt harm your body. it makes your genitals stronger. youre building muscles in your pubic regions when you masturbate. when you finally do have sex, you'll probably last longer also.

"SIDE" Effects Of Masturbation:\nhttp://www.mckinley.uiuc.edu/handouts/masturbation.html\n\nARE THERE SIDE EFFECTS?\n\nThere are no harmful side effects of masturbation. Medical science has debunked many myths formally associated with masturbation, such as hair growing on the palms, insanity, or that masturbation will drain excessive energy from the body. \n\nSome people report feeling guilty about masturbating. Negative feelings associated with any behavior can threaten a person’s health and well being. \n\nThe American medical community pronounced masturbation as normal in the 1972 publication Human Sexuality. \n\nWHY DO PEOPLE MASTURBATE?\nReasons given by people who masturbate include:\n\nTo experience pleasure \n\nTo relieve tension (sexual tension or general tension) \n\nTo relieve stress \n\nTo engage in sex when a partner is unavailable or does not want to have sex \n\nTo relax \n\nTo learn about what feels good to them and how they like to be stimulated or pleasured \n\nMYTHS:\nThe following are myths relating to masturbation that are unfounded in medical and social science.\n\nOnly people, who cannot find sexual partners; or who are socially inadequate masturbate. \n\nMasturbation leads to physical problems such as mental illness and growing hair on your palms. \n\nMasturbation “ruins” a person for partner sex. \n\nMen will run out of semen or sperm if they masturbate excessively. \n\nOthers, including medical doctors and sexual partners, will be able to tell if you masturbate. \n\nHEALTH BENEFITS OF MASTURBATION:\nA number of studies have proven the benefits of self-pleasuring to mental, social and physical health.\n\nMasturbation alleviates premenstrual tension for many women. \n\nMasturbation provides a healthy sexual outlet for people who choose to abstain from sex with partners or who do not currently have available sexual partners. \n\nMasturbation can be a route to safer sex, to help prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, including HIV. \n\nMasturbation allows for sexual pleasuring for those who are not ready to engage in vaginal, anal or oral sex. \n\nIncreases blood flow to the genital region, which can help overall sexual functioning. \n\nMasturbation can induce sleep. \n\nMasturbation allows people to become familiar and comfortable with their body. \n\nMasturbation is often suggested as a therapeutic technique for overcoming sexual dysfunction. \n\nFor women, it can help them learn how to achieve orgasm. \n\nFor men, it can help them increase ejaculatory control and manage rapid or delayed ejaculation. \n\nMasturbation can help alleviate stress. \n\nCAN A PERSON BECOME ADDICTED OR MASTURBATE TOO MUCH?\nPeople often wonder about the normal amount of masturbation. Each person must decide for himself or herself how much to masturbate. Professionals agree that there are no physical or mental implications for frequent masturbation, unless it is symptomatic of an obsessive/compulsive disorder (OCD). Symptoms of OCD are repeatedly performing a behavior to the extent that it interferes with daily functioning, professional responsibilities, or personal relationships.\n\nBehaviors that are performed to reduce stress or alleviate tension, including masturbation, are not considered symptomatic of a disorder unless they interfere with a person’s daily personal or professional life or hinder a person from fulfilling their responsibilities and commitments\n\n\n\nEFFECTS OF OVER-MASTURBATION:\nhttp://www.4-men.org/overmasturbation.html\nFrequent masturbation and ejaculation stimulate acetylcholine/parasympathetic nervous functions. Excessive stimulation can result in over production of sex hormones and neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, dopamine and serotonin.\n\nAbundant and unusually large amount of these hormones and neurotransmitters can cause the brain and adrenal glands to perform excessive dopamine-norepinephrine-epinephrine conversion and turn the brain and body functions t

Masturbation, or self-stimulation of the genitals for pleasure, is not a dangerous or bad activity for men or women. In fact, it is quite normal. It cannot cause any health problems-- even though there are many myths that warn of dangers. Masturbation does not cause fertility changes in men or women, such as decreased sperm or egg counts.\n\n    There is no numerical safety limit to how many times a day one can or should masturbate. The only time a person should be concerned is if his or her masturbation is so frequent that it significantly interferes with other aspects of the individual's life. For example, if a young man stops socializing because all he wants to do is masturbate, he may become socially withdrawn which creates its own problems. Otherwise, pleasuring oneself is safe and enjoyable.

Masturbation is perfectly normal and healthy practice for any male . I am surprised at your age you don't masturbate more than once a day . When a male masturbates he stimulates the prostate gland , that helps to add to good prostate health . Men who do not masturbate have a greater risk of prostate cancer as the get older . Just make sure you use lubricant so you do not desensitize you penis and enjoy .

Both from the standpoint of avoiding unwanted pregnancy and that of avoiding sexually transmitted diseases, masturbation is the safest of sexual practices. There is no credible scientific or medical evidence that manual masturbation is damaging to either one's mental or physical health.\n\nMore information\nIt is held in many mental health circles that masturbation can relieve depression and lead to a higher sense of self-worth (Hurlbert & Whittaker, 1991). Masturbation can also be particularly useful in relationships where one partner wants more sex than the other — in which case masturbation provides a balancing effect and thus a more harmonious relationship.

No it's not OK. Masturbation is OK as long as it doesn't become an addiction, like you have. You should get help, like a psyquiatrist.

Not harmful.  Recent studies have shown that men who "exercise" their reproductive organs on a regular basis have a healthier prostate gland and urinary tracts.  It needs exercise like the rest of the body.  Additionally, pre-ejaculant fluid contain components that cleanse the urinary tract of bacteria, so as to minimize the destruction of sperm.  However, if you m-bate quite often, you may not be able to have an orgasm without "flogging your bishop" yourself.  So make sure you "exercise" that area in other ways besides just m-bating.

.the brain does not usually know the difference between masturbating,and actual intercourse. What makes sex good is usually an emotional thing for the person u/r with. Being male is a physical characteristic, so if u were born female, u still are.Anyway, masturbating is a poor way to have an  orgasm. Not only poor, but private and sick. I hope this does'nt't lead to problems with u/r life in the future, such as a pedophile in the making... so stop now, please.

There is a strong taboo against masturbation and a lot of myths have been spread. But actually masturbation is very healty. It's good for both genders but especially for males - it is good for our prostate to have a "release" at least once a day.

Come on!!\nMasturbation is not a crime, and it's not bad, and it won't kill you, make you ugly, get your knees inside or whatever...\nIt is said to be good for not having Prostate Cancer because you get rid of bad stuff that accumulate in your balls... if I can say so...\nI got great answers for you, but they are in french... you can always do google translation as I did with the link i give you...\n\n"6 - Is the masturbation dangerous for health?\n\nIt is what generations of teachers wanted to do to believe to move away the young people from these practices. And the beliefs in this field are many and tough. However, the proof is made today that the masturbation cannot be held for person in charge for physical or mental disorders. Let us repeat it high and strong: the masturbation makes neither deaf, nor blind man. It involves neither sterility, neither cancer, nor psychosis."

Please do!  Masturbation is  a wonderful  tool for your own sexual health.  You will be surprised to find out how differently sex with someone else feels after you have masturbated, and have a different understanding of your  own body.  Be creative with yourself, fall in love with YOU first!!!!
