Health Class Question: What is masterbation???
401011
Masturbation is the manual excitation of the sexual organs, most often to the point of orgasm. It can refer to excitation either by oneself or by another (see mutual masturbation), but commonly refers to such activities performed alone. It is part of a larger set of activities known as autoeroticism, which also includes the use of sex toys and non-genital stimulation.

Using sex toys is masturbation.  Masturbation is sex with one's self.  So, it is both.

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!

Connection between ejaculation frequency and prostate health \nhttp://www.goaskalice.columbia.edu/4961.html\n\nQUESTION:\nI have been coming across articles on the connection between masturbation, ejaculation, and overall health. I was very surprised about this article from the Cancer Council Victoria in Australia . It was a study that confirmed that ejaculation frequency is important for a healthy prostate. The protective effect was most significant in men in their twenties who ejaculated on average 7 or more times per week. It compared this against same-age men who ejaculated less than 3 times per week. I made a New Year's resolution to pay attention to my body and to ejaculate at least once a day. I feel much better for it and my penis strength and sexual urge has increased immensely. I feel balanced. After a year, I can't imagine going back to my old repressed frequency and probably couldn?t keep from cumming for a whole day if I tried now. Why aren?t people made aware of this need? After getting used to daily +, I often have the urge to do it even more, but hold back. Are there any physical problems with over ejaculating? \n\nANSWER:\nWhat a fabulous New Year’s resolution to pay attention to your body!  Your efforts are worth applauding, as being in tune with yourself and your new masturbation schedule seems to have paid off, as you note that you feel “balanced” and “much better for it.”  Happily, no physical problems are associated with over-ejaculating, so don’t worry about giving in to the natural urge to enjoy and pleasure yourself more often.  You clearly have a strong awareness of the positive effects of masturbation on your body, so go ahead and experiment with masturbation frequency – in this way, you can determine what frequency feels best for you and your regular routine.\n\nYou also ask why people aren’t made aware of the “need” to masturbate often.  Good question – especially in light of the study’s findings that frequent ejaculation helps reduce the risk of prostate cancer.  Unfortunately, self-stimulation – as with most sexual acts – is often viewed as shameful, dirty, immoral, and all sorts of other negative adjectives.  Wouldn’t it be great if masturbation could be seen as the healthy, enjoyable, and beneficial activity it really is, openly talked about and (gasp!) endorsed?  Perhaps one day it will be – with more people like you who are open-minded and bold enough to talk about it in a positive light.  \n\nEnjoy – and pass that article along to friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, and anybody and everybody else! \n\nMASTURBATION MYTHS:\nfrom http://www.jackinworld.com/library/myths.html\n\nChances are, of all the things you've heard about masturbation, most of them were absolutely false. For some reason, misinformation surrounds masturbation like virtually no other topic. How do you spot a masturbation myth? One simple method is to ask yourself if the statement is also true of sexual intercourse. When you're masturbating, your body only knows it's getting sexually stimulated; it doesn't know by what means. So, for instance, if the question is whether or not masturbation causes acne, think of it this way: If it did, intercourse would also cause acne. In fact, neither masturbation nor intercourse cause acne.\n\nMYTH:\nMasturbation causes hair to grow on your palms.\nFACT:\nHow many people with hair on their palms have you seen?  \nMYTH:\nMasturbation causes hair loss, chronic fatigue, and other problems.\nFACT:\nInternet scam artists have tried to invent a concept called "overmasturbation," insisting that you have to buy their expensive herbal pills in order to counteract the effect of masturbating more than a couple of times per week. But the pills have absolutely no effect — and masturbating once or twice a day will not make your hair fall out, or cause anything else they claim.\nMYTH:\nMasturbation is bad for your eyesight. \nFACT:

Case Title:  On Vaginal size, vaginal enlargement, vaginal muscular development for sexual orgasm. \n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nReader: 3/01/2003>My husband is complaining of vaginal loosness and I am 25 with three childeren. I am a large framed woman and am wondering if petite women have smaller vaginas. What can I do? Do women who are over weight have bigger vaginas?\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nDr. Lin: 3/01/2003> The "expandable size (circumference)" of your vaginal orifice can reach twice the length of of your labia minors, approximately the maximum circumference of your mouth. The muscle and nerve of the vaginal orifice can be plastically over-stretched (deformed) by childbirth even if it has been sewed back properly. If this is the case, it will take a year or longer for the over-stretched muscle and nerve to regain its elasticity. To let the plastically deformed muscle and nerve recover faster, you need the neuro-nutrients and hGH/DHEA/androstenedione/testosterone to heal the the damaged/fatigued tissues and nerves.  Vaginal exercises are to help increase the trapping of testosterone and DHT via the local blood circulation in the PC muscle and pelvic/perineum  floor, but you need sufficient neurochemicals and hormones in the bloodstream to help build the muscle where testosterone will be burned into DHT for muscular development and ,at the same time, release the bioelectric energy to charge (sensitize) the local nerves (sensory, parasympathetic and sympathetic).  Vaginal exercises also stimulate the Greater Vestibular Glands ( http://www.actionlove.com/image/g-spot.jpg ) to  release more female precum  (like the male pre-ejaculation fluid from the bulbourethral glands for premature ejaculation) that helps accelerate female orgasmic responses. Of course, you need the neurochemicals and hormones to release  precum.\nDuring lovemaking, what he wants to feel is the gripping force of your vagina. But, his feeling also depends on his penile erection and nervous sensitivity, not only on your vaginal tightness or gripping force..\nIf his erection is weak due to a lack of the neurotransmitters acetylcholine, his penile skin surface nerves become less sensitive and you won't feel pleasure during lovemaking either.  In a lot of situations, men blame their partners' vaginal enlargement for their penile shrinkage. If his penis is very hard and can exert a high stimulation pressure on your urethral/vaginal spongy tissues, he won't feel your vaginal looseness even if your vagina is real loose; instead, you will experience a peeing   urgency and/or intercourse pain when the hard erecting penis stimulates your urethral and G-spot nerves. \nThe peeing urgency and/or intercourse pain usually happen when your vaginal/urethral spongy tissues won't erect due to a lack of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and  the hormones androstenedione/testosterone in the vagina/urethral spongy tissues and nerves, or due to an excessive binding of the stress neurohormone adrenalin into the sympathetic alpha-2 receptors in the vaginal/urethral arteries and tissues.  In fact,  a lack of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and  the hormones androstenedione/testosterone and/or due to an excessive binding of the stress neurohormone adrenalin into the sympathetic alpha-2 receptors will shrink your vaginal and urethral spongy tissues and result in vaginal enlargement.  If your vaginal condition reaches this state,  you feel nothing either during lovemaking. \nIn fact, the penile shrinkage and vaginal enlargement are the same thing as discussed in these two links-\nThe principles of the Penile/G-spot/Clitoral enlargement and Vaginal Narrowing (Reduction, yes!) are the same thing! for more sexual orgasm.If you erect your clitoris in the arousal state, your vaginal/urethral spongy tissues will become erecting to your vagin

Masturbation is the manual excitation of the sexual organs, most often to the point of orgasm. It can refer to excitation either by oneself or by another (see mutual masturbation), but the term commonly refers to such activities performed alone. It is part of a larger set of activities known as autoeroticism, which also includes the use of sex toys and non-genital stimulation. There are also masturbation machines used to simulate intercourse. Masturbation and sexual intercourse are the two most common sexual practices, but they are not mutually exclusive (for example, many people find the sight of their partner masturbating highly erotic). Some people are able to achieve orgasm only through masturbation and not sexual intercourse. In the animal kingdom, masturbation has been observed in many mammalian species, both in the wild and in captivity.

No it is  not at all harmful. Why three times a week you can even do it thrice a day, if you can.

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\nOn July 16, 2003, an Australian research team led by Graham Giles of The Cancer Council published a medical study [2] 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.\n\nMasturbation is also seen as a sexual technique that protects individuals from the risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS. Support for such a view, and for making it part of the American sex education curriculum led to the dismissal of US Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders during the Clinton administration.\n\nSome people actually consider masturbation as a cardiovascular workout.[10] And while doctors have no proof of this actually being true, those suffering from cardiovascular disorders (particularly those recovering from myocardial infarction, or heart attacks) should resume physical activity (including sexual intercourse and masturbation) gradually and with the frequency and rigor in which their physical status will allow. Some doctors will advise those recovering from heart attacks to resume sexual activity (solitary or with a partner) when one is able to climb two flights of stairs without experiencing shortness of breath or chest pain-

HA HA HA You crack me up.  It has nothing to do with your health whatsover. In fact, they prescribe masterbation to help with prostate problems.

That is a very good question and thought provoking. \n\nIt could be a learning experience having sex with your clone, also, it could give you an insight into the kind of lover you are eg. bad/good/fantastic. This could put you in a position to pick up your game and improve your technique etc. \n\nAs for masturbation, I'm not sure!!

something to do with sex

Masturbation  allows a healthy way to express & explore your sexuality and to release sexual tension without all the associated risks of sexual intercourse. Health professionals generally agree that this private touching is a natural, normal mode of self-exploration and sexual expression.So there is no need to feel guilty or shame after the excitement of the moment has passed.

I believe the medical term is \n\nipsischizophalic\n\nTechnically it's two different "you"s so I believe it would fall under gay.  Maybe if you held yourself in quantum superposition and had sex, that'd be more like masturbation.  \n\nmaybe ipsischizobation.

In medical terms it is called masturbati0n.\n\nIt is a very huge subject with its own nitty-gritties. Since Im not sure what exactly you want to know. Im attaching a link which should give a fair and scientific idea about what it is.\n\n.:Fishie:.

It is specifically temporal lobe epilepsy which has been related to "religious" experiences.  If you want to learn more, try Googling on that exact phrase, + / or on the name Ramachandran, as he continues to do research on "the God Spot".\n\nThey have put praying Franciscan nuns and meditating Buddhist monks into brain scanners, and saw the "God Spot" light up.\n\nSimilar brain effects occur during orgasm (but less intense, apparently).  This has interesting implications for anyone who is interested in Tantra; this is not just about sex, but about learning to manipulate one's own brain states.  OK... apparently, the traditional training uses sex, in early stages especially, but an adept can get past needing such props.  (or so I read!)\n\nThe westernised / Christianised version was called Carezza, if you are interested.
