Is masturbation a bad thing?
926199
Masterbation is normal, and it is perfectly natural to masterbate even if you have a partner who is intimate in bed. This does not mean the partner lacks skills. It just means that you enjoy sex, whether it be from your partner or from your hand. Some people have problems with their partners masterbating, but this is mostly because they are confused about what it means. Masterbation means nothing more than that you enjoy stimulating your genitals, and it has NOTHING to do with how good your partner is in bed.

How can masturbating excessively so often bad for you? And what is impotence EXACTLY?\n \nMasturbation is neither good nor bad, depending on how often you can afford to do so without affecting the functions of other organs. In one recently published study, ninety-five percent of men and eighty-seven percent of women have practiced masturbation occasionally. The study further indicated those men usually experience an orgasm when they masturbate and learn how to masturbate before engaging in any sexual intercourse. Another important finding showed males who masturbate frequently during adolescence continue this sexual behavior into their adulthood with the frequency increasing. Is this addictive behavior of masturbation harmful to your body? To answer this question, one has to understand how ejaculating works. An orgasm or ejaculation discharges the bioelectric energy (bio-energy) stored by the parasympathetic nervous subsystem via the sympathetic nervous action. It is supposed to discharge the bio-energy stored in the sexual organs. This is why an orgasm is associated with a burst and subsequent release of tension. When the sexual organs are insufficiently charged, the sympathetic system will draw the energy from other organs, deactivating the associated organs and slowing down the response of the Central Nervous System (CNS) which is the commander of the endocrine and nervous function. So, frequent masturbation and consequent ejaculation will result in depleting other organs of bio-energy since the sexual organs can’t support the release of bio-energy being drawn from over-masturbation. The association of masturbation with guilt and anxiety is partly due to the ignorance of the fact masturbation is not harmful. These negative sentiments are partly due to centuries of religious teachings that masturbating is sinful. In addition, many of us have received negative messages about masturbation from our parents or have even been punished when caught masturbating as children. The cumulative effect of these influences is usually confusion and guilt, which is often difficult to sort out. However, the only time masturbation can be ‘bad’ or harmful is when it becomes compulsive. Compulsive masturbation, like all other compulsive behaviors, is a sign of an emotional problem and needs to be addressed by a mental health specialist. Sex, of course, is extremely pleasurable and all things pleasurable are addictive. Over-masturbation can cause serious problems that aren’t limited to the bedroom. Frequent masturbation should be addressed. So, contrary to ancient and popular beliefs, masturbation does not lead to unbridled lust, make you blind or deaf, give you the flu, drive you crazy, grow hair on your hand, make you stutter, or kill you. Rather, masturbation is a natural and harmless expression of sexuality in both men and women and a perfectly good way to experience sexual pleasure. In fact, some experts argue that masturbation improves sexual health by increasing an individual's understanding of his or her own body and of what is erotically pleasing, building self-confidence and fostering self-acceptance. This knowledge can then be carried forth to make for a more satisfying sexual relationship with one's partner, both through each partner's comfort with mutual masturbation and because of the ability to tell each other what is most pleasing. It is a good idea for a couple to discuss their attitudes about masturbation and to calm any insecurities a partner may have if the other should sometimes favor masturbation over sexual intercourse. In some relationships, masturbation may be mutually acceptable. Done alone or in the presence of a partner, the act can be pleasing and add to mutual intimacy if it is not experienced as a rejection. Like most behaviors, without proper communication, the act of masturbation can be a sign of anger, alienation, or displeasure with the way the relationship is progressing.Overcoming society&#

well i believe that its not harmful or produce any decease but it can make a person addicted to it. that is harmful in the way the person gets addicted to it, lets say he prefers masturbation then normal sex. its a hard situation for those who do it, they don't feel satisfaction during sex and then in the end masturbate because they are used to it.

Come on!!\nMasturbation is not a crime, and it's not bad, and it won't kill you, make you ugly, get your knees inside or whatever...\nIt is said to be good for not having Prostate Cancer because you get rid of bad stuff that accumulate in your balls... if I can say so...\nI got great answers for you, but they are in french... you can always do google translation as I did with the link i give you...\n\n"6 - Is the masturbation dangerous for health?\n\nIt is what generations of teachers wanted to do to believe to move away the young people from these practices. And the beliefs in this field are many and tough. However, the proof is made today that the masturbation cannot be held for person in charge for physical or mental disorders. Let us repeat it high and strong: the masturbation makes neither deaf, nor blind man. It involves neither sterility, neither cancer, nor psychosis."

Masturbation - \n\nIt is not a sin. it is one way of enjoying sex by oneself with out going to any other person of the opposite gender.  God will not mind if you Masturbate as he is now aware of what is masturbation and your will be doing it in the bathroom or in a separate room with doors closed. \n\nIt will not hurt anyone as you are not going to  beat anyone with your action. Secondly you are not going to do it in front of others. So why worry. i find your worry is baseless and there is nothing harm to do it.  \n\nNow you should know something about Mastubation. What is it?Masturbation is the manual excitation of the sexual organs, usually to the point of orgasm. It can refer to excitation either by oneself or by another (see mutual masturbation). 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.\n\n[edit] Benefits\nIt is held in many mental health circles that masturbation can relieve depression and lead to a higher sense of self-worth (Hurlbert & Whittaker, 1991). 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. 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-.

Masturbation is a normal thing for people to do. Nothing harmful about spanking the monkey every now and than. It said to be good to masturbate to get old sperm out and new sperm in if you don't have sex yet in life.

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!

Nothing really. If you're curious, go ahead, but I strongly suggest that you should resist the temptation to continue doing it. I'm sure you know that it's very bad for you, in many different ways.

No.  Mastubation is not bad at all.  There are no medical risks in mastubation.  Why do you think our hands can reach all the way down there?
