Self pleasure is a natural and healthy part of life. There are no side to effects to self pleasure at all (most men do it 3-4 times a week). If anything, self pleasure should improve your sex life by helping you know your body better and gain more control.

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.

Masterbatin sounds like something you'd find at a pharmacy. Masturbation has no effect on the length, width, or girth of your penis. Studies have proven this. And it doesnt make you go blind either ;)

The myth is that if you masturbate, you'll get hairy palms, your eyes will fall out, you'll go blind, etc.

Nope, it doesn't! Masturbation causes no adverse health effects at all- in fact, it's rather good for you! It's a fabulous way to relieve stress!\n\nThink about it this way: masturbation is pretty much exactly the same as sex when it comes to the way your body acts and reacts. If masturbation caused health problems then sex would too!

The only side effect I'm aware of is that women who masturbate have better sex generally, as they are more comfortable with their bodies and knowing what gets them off helps them steer men in the right direction.

• Masturbation is not bad for your health. It won’t make you go blind, insane, or bald, give you spots, stunt your growth, or turn you into a pervert.\n\n \n\n• Masturbation can be good for you as it helps relieve stress. It also causes your body to release endorphins (pleasure hormones) which make you more chilled-out.

Masturbation can be defined as self-stimulation to cause sexual sensations. The use of the word masturbation usually suggests that the person is manipulating his or her genitals to the point of intense pleasure or orgasm. Health professionals generally agree that this private touching is a natural, normal mode of self-exploration and sexual expression. Unfortunately, after the excitement of the moment has passed, many people find themselves filled with guilty and or shame. Most surveys suggest that approximately 94% of teenage males "admitted" that they masturbated and about 70% of teen females "admitted" to this also. It is always hard to establish absolute truth in any survey on sexuality and sexual behavior, since they are influenced so much by what people think is "normal". It is important to note the word "admitted" in the results of these surveys. Doesn't that word imply something shameful about the act of masturbating? We think so. This leads us to believe that we are still suffering from the residual Victorian morals when boys and girls were discouraged from masturbating. According to some sexuality experts people who masturbate tend to function better sexually when with a partner since they know their own body and have fulfilled sexual expression.In a moderate way we can say that masturbation seems to be a common, "normal", healthy way to get sexual satisfaction. It is one that is safe and does NOT run the risks of pregnancy, STDs or incompatible sexual preferences.If you are sore from spending TOO much time with yourself -- stop and let your body heal, getting irritated skin is NOT uncommon, so don't panic. If it persists see your health care provider. The frequency of Self-mutilation( masturbation) occurs mostly in young people, and it is three times more common in women than in men. Masturbation and intercourse are different experiences. Masturbation does not have to diminish the experience of intercourse, nor the other way around. For many people, it is not a one or the other concept or reality.For most people, orgasm from intercourse is less intense because their own masturbation pattern differs from the sensation of arousal or response when they are with someone. For women, in particular, the pleasure from masturbation is more intense than both the experience of intercourse and orgasm through intercourse, for different reasons. During intercourse, while a woman experiences closeness, tenderness, and lust, she does not usually get the stimulation on her clitoris that she is used to or familiar with from masturbation. This is neither good nor bad. Instead a partner can teach his.her partner to how to give his/her pleasure in other ways and masturbation always give a person the opportunity to better understanding of their own body and functioning, the arousing patterns and the supporting spots/hot spots in their own body which will benefit in future sex acts with their partner. \nUnfortunately the only negaive effect regard to masturbatory habit is the sin/imoorality/overall health fears and especially sexual fitness in future which will lead to performance anxiety and low confidence/self esteem which can afect your performance and givign pleasure/reaching pleasure and climax etc.also erection problems and intentional avoidance, fear of penis shrinking, erection capacity, loss of semen and its future pregnating capacity etc. All these are only imginary without having enough grounds and medical suport which is needed.

well actually yes it can!!! If you masturbate quiet often, either with your fingers or objects, you are putting yourself at a huge risk of the dreaded- YEAST INFECTION- it hurts llike hell so make sure your hands and objects are clean and sanitized between uses.

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)

Masturbution is a healthy normal response to your body's instinctive sexual drive. Daily masturbation is referred to as overmasturbation and in males can cause several undesirable side effects such as hairy palms, eventual blindess due to the eyes' repetative exposure to seminal fluids, low self esteem from the constant teasing of your older siblings/friends, carpal tunnel syndrome from the constant up and down motion that increases with speed during ejaculation, the list goes on... If you masturbate every day STOP! You may rid your body of all its sperm and will not be able to father children to carry on your legacy!

Masturbation is normal, healthy and fun! Your body will tell you when you are doing it too much. Unless you are obsessed with it and it's keeping you from doing other things (which is VERY unlikely!), enjoy it! Forget all that nonsense about side effects. There aren't any! To the contrary, there is more and more evidence it is good for your mental and physical health, especially as you get older. I've been doing it for over 50 years (really!) and I ain't blind yet. Enjoy (at any age!)
