masterbation will only hurt you if your caught in the act by your Mom. I know from experience...so embarrasing...but my Mom thought it was funny, she later confessed that yes...even she masterbates. ewwwwwwwww

There is no real way to quantify "too much sex."  It is different for every person.  No amount of sex will make you weak...  other than directly after orgasm.  Too much sex is when it begins to interfere with other aspects of your life.  Too much is when you begin lying, cheating, or disrespecting yourself and others to obtain sex.  If people are only a places to put your penis instead of other humans with personality, promise, hopes and dreams, you are probably having too much sex.

Masterbation is normal. How else are you going to find out what feels good? I am sorry you feel guilty about it. You might hung up because of how you were brought up. I wouldn't let it bother you.\n\nReading erotica? No, it's not masterbation. It's just reading erotic stories. If ya get horny reading them, take matters in hand and relieve the pressure. Have fun!

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.

No.. not at all.. almost 99% of guys masturbate.. its quite natural to do so.. without worrying go ahead & enjoy in the safest way..

I'm not trying to joke but you could practice by masterbating (sp?).  This way you "may" be able to control yourself for a longer period of time.

Too much?...\n\nWhen you are numb and achy in the areas that used to please you the most..\n\nThat's my personal opinion. Now for guys I would think too much is when you don't use enough lube and you become chaffed from the rubbing.

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!)

It is very healthy to masturbate.  Everyone needs a little release now and then.  It could be sexual fustration, stress you name it.  When mastrubating you can explore all sensual feelings.

Research's been done, too much masturbation causes you to lose interest in sex. That's overexcessive i mean, probably like 5 times daily ??

Actually masterbation and sex produces endorphines, your bodies own protective mechanism for pain etc... comes about with excercise as well. So, theoretically, I would have to say it is not unhealthy to do it once a day.\nMike RN

I don't think there are any harms to masturbating. If there were a lot of guys would be in trouble, hehe.

There is nothing harmful about self pleasure.  It is a healthy practice for most men and can actually help with your sex life. It does not decrease your styaying power or sperm count either.  If anything it makes you more aware how it works and gives you more control when using it.

First of all ignore what catsclaw89 said! None of that is true at all! Our bodies really tell us when we are masturbating too much and we just don't feel like doing it for a while...we need to "re-charge our batteries" so to speak. Unless you are obsessed with masturbating (very rare!) or ignoring other aspects of your life, like doing homework or socializing with other people...you can't do it too much! One of twice a day as teenagers (boys especially!) is completely normal and healthy. I wouldn't even worry about it. I've been doing it all my life and haven't worn my weenie out yet!

Ill effects?  Hmmmm.... that's a hard one... haha.  Perhaps enjoying it so much you do it more and more - to the point of rubbin' it raw?  You can get sexually deprived, but, dude, it's not likely to happen from strokin it now and then...or daily even.
