It has no effect on your eyesight whatsoever.  That particular myth was started in the days before medical research was done... well, scientifically, to be honest.  Everything from birth defects to syphilis to blindness and hairy palms have been ascribed to masturbation, and none of it whatsoever is true.  About a century's worth of research on the subject consistently shows there to be no deleterious effects whatsoever to masturbation except, of course, for slightly lowered sperm counts and seminal volume due to increased ejaculatory frequency... and that's only really important if you're trying to conceive a child, and curable by simply spending a day or two not engaging in sexual stimulation.\n\nThe rest of the "harmful effects" were just something the physicians of the time decided to start saying because they were prejudiced against the behavior (remember, these are the same doctors who said a woman's uterus had to be regularly bathed in male fluids or it would shrivel up and fall out... not the most learned or objective of people).

Impotence is caused due to decrease in blood flow through th penis muscles..\nWhich may be caused due to\n\nAlcoholism \nFatigue \nAtherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) \nDiabetes \nBrain or spinal-cord injuries \nHypogonadism (which leads to lower testosterone levels) \nLiver or kidney failure \nMultiple sclerosis \nParkinson's disease \nRadiation therapy to the testicles \nStroke \nSome types of prostate or bladder surgery \n\nI think mint doesn't afect you blood flow thus can't cause impotence

Yes, depending on the cause of impotence. Vascular leaks and advanced atherosclerotic or neurogenic impotence responds less well, or not at all.

Masturbation does not make you weaker during sex. If you masturbate right before sex, it might make you unable to reach orgasm during intercourse. If you masturbate regularly it can prolong your sexual encounters in general, learning "control" so to speak. This is only speaking from my experience, maybe everyone is not the same.

I don't think it's unhealthy, however, the effects of pornography among couples has been studied and it has been proven that watching pornography with one's partner reduces sexual satisfaction because expectations rise significantly. Couples begin to expect their partners to perform like the actors in the films.

Contrary to the impressions of the other answerers, it is not only possible but LIKELY that teenage masturbation is causing this burning sensation.  Erectile tissue does not fully mature until the body has reached ~25 years; overexertion of the penis and urethra before full maturity can definitely have adverse effects on the short-term and long-term health of the genitals.

lol!  While I have not actually seen it, I remember reading about disorders/abnormalities of sexual development.  Such an anomaly exists and is documented, but typically both 'members' are non-functional for reproductive purposes (neither penis works for anything other than to urinate).\n\nMeaning, those porn movies depicting a tanned buff dude sporting two raging boners is most definitely faked.

yes because you may become addicted to it. it is possible. then you could end up being very horny all the time which could be a bad effect on your attitude towards your friends and family. it can also allow you to become weak against peer pressure and end up drinking and using drugs. plus, you just shouln't. the porn sites out there are for entertainment, but it would be pathetic if that's the only thing you can think of to keep yourself busy now wouldn't it?

IT SURE IS! FIRSTLY BECAUSE IT OVERFLOWS ONES BRAIN WITH THE IMAGES THAT U SEE ...RESULTING IN A HIGHER SEX DRIVE AND FRUSTRATION LEVEL. WATCHING PORNOGRAPHY CAN LEAD TO REGULAR SEXUAL ACTIVITY OF MASTUR****** AND IN SOME CASES RESULTS IN RAPES AND ABUSES. IN CASE OF MARRIED MEN,,,IT CAN LEAD TO EXPERIMENTATION OF SEXUAL ACTIVITY AS PROJECTED THRU THE VIDEOS AND PICTURES..AND CAN LEAD MEN TOWARDS WANTING TO HAVE MORE THAN ONE SEXUAL PARTNER. FINALLY, IT CAN LEAD TO TIMEWASTE AND IS A WORTHLESS SOURCE OF DISTRACTION.

Masturbation neither causes blindness nor does it cause mental retardation.\n\nAnd Jesus can do nothing but stare at you and the world from his picture.

You'll be wasting your money.  There is no evidence that male erectile dysfunction - impotence or the inablity to "get it up and keep it up" is the result of a vitamin deficiency.  \n\nIf impotence is lowering your quality of life, talk to your doctor.  You'll need a physical to determine whether your impotence is due to "natural causes" or a disease process.  Most are due to what we'd call "natural causes" and some are due to chronic illnesses like diabetes.\n\nThe physical will also show whether it's safe for you to try one of the three drugs used to treat the condition.  It'll also help you and the doc decide whether you should try the pump first.  \n\nThe three medicines work quite well for some 60 to 70 percent of affected men.  Some men have agreed to surgical attempts at restoring their flagging libidos, but even in those cases where few other causes for the guys' impotence have been determined, those operations more often than not leave the guy little better off than before the operation.\n\nGood luck, pal.  It ain't an easy thing to deal with to realize you're developing that problem.  It's also hard on your partner!  At least, if you care about each other and want to continue to share intimacy, there are non-chemical assistive devices that vibrate, dildoes, scented massage oils and the like.  And hey - every guy's got one alternative device at hand without spending a penny.  It's that odd thing that sits in your mouth and that you talk with... Learn to use it "creatively".  She'll love you for it!

First, you must believe that it is not about "you".  It is about him.  His pornography and masturbation have led him to compulsion and addictive behavior.  Pornography can destroy a person's ability to "make love". Some men try to tell their wives that the pornography is "priming" for a conclusion with them, but it is the priming that draws them back again and again, not the conclusion.  Some men say "all guys do it".  No they do not.  Especially when it gets to the point of addiction, and it is effecting the "real" relationship. I have always thought that if you have to hide what you are doing, then you must think it is wrong, or you feel guilty about doing it.  I think you have to treat it like any addiction, and get professional help.  First, the person has to admit there is a problem, and be willing to accept outside help.  Stop blaming yourself, and thinking you are not attractive and don't satisfy him.  It is not about you, it is about his "addiction".

A great movie to watch that will be very helpful!\nhttp://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8271947477140788534&q=men%27s+health&hl=en\n\n\nOriginal Article:http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/erectile-dysfunction/DS00162 \n \nErectile dysfunction\nIntroduction\nErectile dysfunction (ED) affects the lives of many middle-aged men and their partners to one degree or another. The term erectile dysfunction covers a range of disorders, but usually refers to the inability to obtain an adequate erection for satisfactory sexual activity.\nAlthough erectile dysfunction, formerly called impotence, is more common in men older than 65, it can occur at any age. An occasional episode of erectile dysfunction happens to most men and is normal. As men age, it's also normal to experience changes in erectile function. Erections may take longer to develop, may not be as rigid or may require more direct stimulation to be achieved. Men may also notice that orgasms are less intense, the volume of ejaculate is reduced and recovery time increases between erections.\nWhen erectile dysfunction proves to be a pattern or a persistent problem, it can interfere with a man's self-image as well as his and his partner's sexual life. Erectile dysfunction may also be a sign of a physical or emotional problem that requires treatment.\nErectile dysfunction was once a taboo subject, but more men are seeking help. Doctors are gaining a better understanding of what causes erectile dysfunction and are finding new and better treatments.\nSigns and symptoms\nPatterns of erectile dysfunction include:\n·Occasional inability to obtain a full erection\n·Inability to maintain an erection throughout intercourse\n·Complete inability to achieve an erection\nCauses\n \nCLICK TO ENLARGE\n Male reproductive system \n \nThe penis contains two cylindrical, sponge-like structures that run along its length, parallel to the tube that carries semen and urine (urethra). When a man becomes sexually aroused, nerve impulses cause the blood flow to the cylinders to increase about seven times the normal amount. This sudden influx of blood expands the sponge-like structures and produces an erection by straightening and stiffening the penis. Continued sexual arousal or excitation maintains the higher rate of blood flow, keeping the erection firm. After ejaculation, or when the sexual excitation passes, the excess blood drains out of the spongy tissue, and the penis returns to its nonerect size and shape.\nSpecific steps take place to produce and sustain an erection:\n·Arousal. The first step is sexual arousal, which men obtain from the senses of sight, touch, hearing and smell, and from thoughts.\n·Nervous system response. The brain communicates the sexual excitation to the body's nervous system, which activates increased blood flow to the penis.\n·Blood vessel response. A relaxing action occurs in the blood vessels that supply the penis, allowing more blood to flow into the shafts that produce the erection.\nIf something affects any of these factors or the delicate balance among them, erectile dysfunction can result.\nNonphysical causes\nNonphysical causes may account for impotence. They may include:\n·Psychological problems. The most common nonphysical causes are stress, anxiety and fatigue. Impotence is also an occasional side effect of psychological problems such as depression.\n·Negative feelings. Feelings that you express toward your sexual partner — or that are expressed by your sexual partner — such as resentment, hostility or lack of interest also can be a factor in erectile dysfunction.\nPhysical causes\nPhysical causes account for many cases of erectile dysfunction and may include:\n·Nerve damage from longstanding diabetes (diabetic neuropathy)\n·Cardiovascular disorders affecting the blood supply to the pelvis\n·Certain prescription medications\n·Operations for cancer of the prostate\n·Fractures that injure the spinal cord\n·Multiple sclerosis\n·Hormon

Greetings:\nThis answer is in response to your question posted on yahoo concerning a possible link between bradycardia and ED.\nThere are many causes of ED. Bradycardia in and of itself is not a cause of ED, however, if the bradycardia is coming from say for example a blood pressure medication like a beta blocker, then you can experience ED. This is a side effect of the drug. If the heart rate is very, very low where there is inadequate blood flow to the penis and everywhere else in the body including the brain, then it may cause ED (you would be very ill and probably in the hospital in this instance).\nOften, bradycardia is associated with heart diseases. Cardiac disease is definately a potential cause of ED.\nPsychological, social, stress, money problems, are often causes of ED.  Others like diabetes, high blood pressure and long standing high cholesterol  are the BIG THREE.\nThe drugs out now, ie. viagra, levitra, cialis can and do work on most causes of ED but results are variable from person to person.\nThey dont cause you to instantly have an erection. Arousal comes from stimulation of the brain first by sexual thoughts then to the penis. So these drugs work only if your brain is aroused first.\nThe only time I know of that these drugs do not work is when there is severe nerve damage to the nerves responsible for erection and ejaculation.\nI hope this helped answer your question.\nRegards,\nWarren Shaffer, M.D.
