Does too much masturbation affects the sex life?

it doesn't make it feel worse. but sometimes spacing out when you have sex by a few days can increase how good it feels when you ****. waiting a few days in between will build up the want for it, the hormones, and the amount of sperm. having sex very often won't affect your sex life but if you and your partner do the same acts everytime it might end up getting a little bit boring.

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 For example, if a young man stops socializing because all he wants to do is masturbate, he may become socially withdrawn which creates its own problems.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.

i don't know about "normal" but i'd say that is likely quite common.  i have had similar experiences of distraction or non-focus during sex but for me it's typically due to either:\n\na) we've been having high volumes of sex (3-8 times a day).  if this is the case i just try to refrain for a day or three and things are so much better -- i'm just auto-focused and needn't even have to try at that point.\n\nb) i am not totally into my partner, at least sexually.  even though i was into them as a person/loved them/loved being with them, i was not as sexually entertained as i could have been; say being with those people who always like to do it the same way every single time.  i think it was boredom in a manner of speaking and i just didn't want to admit it, so i went through the motions with a wandering mind.\n\ndon't know if either pertain to you or your situation but at least you'll know there are others who have focus-issues sometimes.

i believe masturbation offers more than just stimulation. it should be part of a sexually active mans game plan. if any of you men have had those days where you are having sex with your partner all day, then you know. the second hard-on last longer because you've already been relieved. thus being part of a game plan. if you don't think you are going to have sex more than once, then stroke it, and relieve pressure. then when you get get your member will not be so anxious.

I have heard where masturbation can actually improve your sex life in that masturbating right before sex will enhance your performance by making you take longer to ejaculate. I'm not sure this works for everyone though but I say hey give it a try.

There are no harmful effects of masturbation.  I guess you could become pre occupied with it and obsessed maybe, but doubt it. It's normal for guys and girls.

I'm 30-something yrs. old....and I still mastubate from time to time.  It's not possible to ruin your sex life by mastubating all those.  You say no man can please you, I don't think that's possible.  You just haven't found the right man to hit that certain spot yet.

Seriously, I know I answered your other question on this topic with a joke, but there are no known harmful side effects of masturbation. Here's a link that will provide you with reassurance that masturbation is a healthy and normal human reaction. It will tell you the who, what, when, where, why and how's of masturbation.\nhttp://www.mckinley.uiuc.edu/Handouts/masturbation.html

As far as I know, it's normal.  You can't listen to the others.  Masturbation is perfectly healthy, and you can do it as often as you like, even if you're married.  There is the aspect of your wife being okay with it, but if that doesn't present problems then go ahead.  I've personally masturbated eight times in a day once.  Other than the fact that my arm hurt, I was okay.  As long as you and your wife are comfortable, then there's not problem.

none what-so-ever, you don't get hairy palms, or go to hell or all those other myths out there. Masturbation really puts you in tune with your body, so that when you are with a physical person, you know what you like and can communicate it with him/her, verbally, or subtly, your choice. Personally, I think it makes you a better lover. Keep it up! =) (if your male, pardon the pun)

It is held in many mental health circles that masturbation can relieve depression and lead to a higher sense of self-worth. 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.\n\nBoth 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\nOn 2003-07-16, an Australian research team led by Graham Giles of The Cancer Council published a medical study which concluded that frequent masturbation by males may help prevent the development of prostate cancer. The study also indicated that this would be more helpful than ejaculation through sexual intercourse because intercourse can transmit diseases that may increase the risk of cancer instead. Another study came to similar conclusions in April 2004.

STOP masturbating so much!!! Over masturbation, or masturbation addiction can cause erectile dis-function even in younger men. Keep your jack off sessions down to 2-3 times per week. It is true it causes changes in the brain chemistry. So lay off of the caffeine, smoking, and booze, AND STOP WHACKING IT 2-6 times a day. Oh by all means jack off, just don't over do it.

"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

Health and psychological effects\nIt is held in many mental health circles that masturbation can relieve depression and lead to a higher sense of self-worth. 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.\n\nBoth 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\nA man whose penis has suffered "an invasive procedure, blunt trauma or injury during intercourse"[2] may suffer later in life from Peyronie's disease. Usually in the context of an abnormal tunica albuginea, the rare event of penile fracture[3] may occur. Phimosis is "a contracted foreskin (that) may cause trouble by hurting when an attempt is made to pull the foreskin back"[4]. In each of these cases, overly aggressive manipulation of the penis can be problematic.\n\nContrary to popular myth, masturbation does not cause blindness. There is some basis, however, to the myth: zinc is required both to transport vitamin A from the liver to the retina and is excreted in relatively high amount in semen. Thus, it is not inconceivable that in zinc-deficient or vitamin A-deficient environments excessive male masturbation could have caused night blindness (in which case sexual intercourse has an equal probability of causing blindness). Given a normal contemporary diet, however, this is extremely unlikely to happen. There is also the more modern issue of staring at a computer screen while watching pornography for extended periods of time as the pupils tend to dilate during arousal.\n\nThe only side-effects recorded are that repeated masturbation may result in tiredness or soreness, which tend to make repeated masturbation self-limiting in any case. For men, the volume of ejaculate is temporarily reduced after multiple ejaculations until normal seminal volume is regained in a day or so. Nevertheless, people may experience feelings of guilt during or after masturbation, especially if they come from a socially conservative or religious background.\n\nSolitary masturbation carries no risk of pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases. Masturbation involving both a man and a woman can result in pregnancy only if semen contacts the vulva. Any masturbation with a partner can theoretically result in transmission of sexually transmitted disease by contact with bodily fluids, and such contact should be avoided with any partner whose disease status is uncertain. Objects inserted into the vagina or anus should be clean and of a kind that will not scratch or break. Care should be taken not to fully insert anything into the anus—any object used should have a flared or flanged base; otherwise retrieval can require a visit to the emergency room. Most modern dildos and anal plugs are designed with this feature.\n\nIn 1994, when the first woman appointed Surgeon General of the United States, Dr. Joycelyn Elders, mentioned as an aside that perhaps it ought to be mentioned in school curricula that masturbation was safe and healthy, she was forced to resign, with opponents asserting that she was promoting the teaching of how to masturbate. Many believe this was the result of her long history of promoting controversial viewpoints and not due solely to her public mention of masturbation. Her case led to the coining of a new and humorous slang term for masturbation: Firing the surgeon general.\n\nOn July 16, 2003, an Australian research team led by Graham Giles of The Cancer Council published a medical study [5] which concluded that frequent masturbation by males may help prevent the development of prostate cancer. The study also indicated that this would be more helpful than ejaculati

However many times you feel the need. I wouldn't recommend it though. There is something called "Over Masturbation". That's right look it up on the web. It causes a lot of problems like, erectile dis-function, hair lose, and fatigue. Do like I do, keep your jerk off sessions down to 2-3 times a week, instead of 2-3 times a day. Also whack it without squirting. I know it sounds hard, but you can get use to it. Feel free to IM me.

What do you mean "excess masturbation"? Unless you're masturating 10 times a day, you probably don't have a problem. Everybody needs a sexual outlet and if you don't have a partner masturbation is the way to go. \n\nEnjoy yourself, and stop worrying!

There is no such thing as "overmasturbation".  Your body really isn't the slip-shod, fragile piece of equipment the "overmasturbation" people would like you to think it is.\n\nBelieve it or not, your body has several defenses against overmasturbating, not the first of which being the refractory period you automatically go through after ejaculation before you can engage in sexual activity again, the consequence of which is that your body automatically stops you from masturbating again until your body is once again ready for sexual activity.\n\nHowever, can masturbation itself lead to premature ejaculation?  Yes, it can if you got in the habit of masturbating to ejaculate as quickly as possible.\n\nYou simply need to re-train yourself to build up more stamina.  Once again, I recommend either the book "Any Man Can" or "The Multi-Orgasmic Man", both of which will teach you several techniques to prolong the sexual experience.
