Is masturbating in the shower using soap as lubricant bad for the health?

Not bad for ya. Shouldn't affect fertility or rigidity. You can get get squeaky clean that way! I agree with the first answer as well..try shower gel or even shaving cream. Not as abrasive as soap. Have fun!

Why?\nBetween the two solutions, sexing and abstinence, having sex is the best choice unless you haven’t decided to get a chastity vow. It’s medically demonstrated that sexual activity is healthy for whole body and for sexual system mainly in both sexes.  \nDr. R. W. Bernard in his essay entitled "Science discovers the physiological value of continence" states:\n"[I]t is clear that there is an important internal physiological relation between the secretions of the sex glands and the central nervous system, that the loss of these secretions, voluntarily or involuntarily, exercises a detrimental effect on the nutrition and vitality of the nerves and brain..... \nOne study suggests that frequent ejaculation may lead to a lower risk of prostate cancer. Indeed, there have been numerous studies indicating that excessive repression of the sexual instinct leads to an increase in the overall level of aggression in a given society.\nIt is necessary the balance. An absolute license is bad; an absolute abstinence —even though some by nature or circumstances are urgently called to adopt it— is also bad. They are both alike away from the gracious equilibrium of Nature. And the force, we see, which naturally holds this balance even is the biological fact that the act of sexual union is the satisfaction of the erotic needs of any person.

use lubrication during intercouse, even if you don't think you need it, otherwise the friction will cause tiny tears which can get infected and cause yeast infections.  also, bathe regularly, and get one of them massaging showerheads to "clean urself out" i would not recommend douching...

I'll answer the last part of your question first. Soap is made up of polar molecules. That just means that one end of each molecule is different from the other like the poles of a magnet. One end dissolves in grease and fats while the other end dissolves in water. Since most really dirty things are fatty and greasy, this means that one end of each soap molecule sticks to the dirt on your hands while the other end sticks to the water running over them. This washes the dirt away. Why not use plain water? If you don't have soap plain water will help get you clean but because of surface tension water won't stick to grease so you will never get completely clean. Another class of cleaners solves this problem. Detergents reduce the surface tension of water allowing it to clean better. Look at the list of ingredients on your cleanser. If one of them is Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, your cleanser is a detergent. Now for the first part of your question. Long ago people found that you could make a cleaner by heating lard (renderings from animals killed for food) with potash, an alkali produced by burning wood, probably for cooking the aforementioned food. This discovery was probably accidental, the result of being in the right place at the right time. It took place so long ago that the discoverer (or discoverers, it probably happened in several places at different times) is lost in history. BTW. It's no coincidence that many of today's soap producers are owned by or connected to slaughter houses and meat producers. Do some research on Procter and Gamble. Your teacher will be proud of you.

Yes and no.  They say washing your hands a lot of times will help prevent infection and transmission of food poisoning.  So it does help with that.\nIt is different with showering and bathing. It's probably better to soak in the tub for a while, soap up, scrub up and then shower off.  It depends on how much time you have, or if you live somewhere there is a water shortage. Just a quick shower is good, but it doesn't keep you clean for long.

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.

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.

Technically yes. Realistically no. However, if you rub your butt and genitals around in someone else's fresh body excretions, you can get a disease. Usually, the bacteria/viruses in blood and excretions die off fairly fast once exposed to air, especially if the stuff is already crusty. You skin is an intact barrier and gives sufficient protection from unsanitary places. You would have to get direct contact with the genital region in order for this to happen, and the excretions would have to be fairly fresh.\n\nActually, studies have shown that one of the most unsanitary places in a bathroom is the bathroom door handle (next to the flush button, of course). It's full of bacteria found in urine and feces, and while it's not easy to get an infection from that, it's still gross. That's what you want to avoid touching after you washed your hands.

Lube baby, LUBE!!!! Don't have sex without it.  Prostate-made lubrication is chemical and preservative free--far better than any KY or crap they sell in the store.

To make it slippery!\n\nIt's alcohol based and water soluble so it does not remain on your skin after the shower.

There is nothing especially right or wrong about most anything we do, as long as we do not hurt ourselves or another.  Know that almost the entire male population does this, so there is no problem, if that is the way we are made, and it is.  Moderation is the key.  One side note, the more you use it, like exercise, it keeps working, so this is good for health overall.  Soap is not especially good because it dries skin.  Better, consider Johnson's baby oil.  The number of times a guy does this varies among everyone, and a guy does it more some times and less other times.  That is the way it is.  You cannot do it too much, or too little.  You will do this whenever it is right for you.  No two of us are the same, so what is 3 times a week or one guy, might be 3 times a day for another or once a month for another.  There is a wide variety here, and all of this is normal.

douching and wipes actually disrupt the bacterial balance inside and cause more chance for infection and 'smell'\npersonally i'd say stick to water and soap

A shower is definitely more sanitary. Think about it! You are sitting in your own dirt,oil,and dead skin that sluffs off in a bathtub! YUCK!

• 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• 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.\n\nFormal info, I don't know, but follow the BBC link below:
