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.

"SIDE" Effects Of Masturbation:\nhttp://www.mckinley.uiuc.edu/handouts/masturbation.html\n\nARE THERE SIDE EFFECTS?\n\nThere are no harmful side effects of masturbation. Medical science has debunked many myths formally associated with masturbation, such as hair growing on the palms, insanity, or that masturbation will drain excessive energy from the body. \n\nSome people report feeling guilty about masturbating. Negative feelings associated with any behavior can threaten a person’s health and well being. \n\nThe American medical community pronounced masturbation as normal in the 1972 publication Human Sexuality. \n\nWHY DO PEOPLE MASTURBATE?\nReasons given by people who masturbate include:\n\nTo experience pleasure \n\nTo relieve tension (sexual tension or general tension) \n\nTo relieve stress \n\nTo engage in sex when a partner is unavailable or does not want to have sex \n\nTo relax \n\nTo learn about what feels good to them and how they like to be stimulated or pleasured \n\nMYTHS:\nThe following are myths relating to masturbation that are unfounded in medical and social science.\n\nOnly people, who cannot find sexual partners; or who are socially inadequate masturbate. \n\nMasturbation leads to physical problems such as mental illness and growing hair on your palms. \n\nMasturbation “ruins” a person for partner sex. \n\nMen will run out of semen or sperm if they masturbate excessively. \n\nOthers, including medical doctors and sexual partners, will be able to tell if you masturbate. \n\nHEALTH BENEFITS OF MASTURBATION:\nA number of studies have proven the benefits of self-pleasuring to mental, social and physical health.\n\nMasturbation alleviates premenstrual tension for many women. \n\nMasturbation provides a healthy sexual outlet for people who choose to abstain from sex with partners or who do not currently have available sexual partners. \n\nMasturbation can be a route to safer sex, to help prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, including HIV. \n\nMasturbation allows for sexual pleasuring for those who are not ready to engage in vaginal, anal or oral sex. \n\nIncreases blood flow to the genital region, which can help overall sexual functioning. \n\nMasturbation can induce sleep. \n\nMasturbation allows people to become familiar and comfortable with their body. \n\nMasturbation is often suggested as a therapeutic technique for overcoming sexual dysfunction. \n\nFor women, it can help them learn how to achieve orgasm. \n\nFor men, it can help them increase ejaculatory control and manage rapid or delayed ejaculation. \n\nMasturbation can help alleviate stress. \n\nCAN A PERSON BECOME ADDICTED OR MASTURBATE TOO MUCH?\nPeople often wonder about the normal amount of masturbation. Each person must decide for himself or herself how much to masturbate. Professionals agree that there are no physical or mental implications for frequent masturbation, unless it is symptomatic of an obsessive/compulsive disorder (OCD). Symptoms of OCD are repeatedly performing a behavior to the extent that it interferes with daily functioning, professional responsibilities, or personal relationships.\n\nBehaviors that are performed to reduce stress or alleviate tension, including masturbation, are not considered symptomatic of a disorder unless they interfere with a person’s daily personal or professional life or hinder a person from fulfilling their responsibilities and commitments\n\n\n\nEFFECTS OF OVER-MASTURBATION:\nhttp://www.4-men.org/overmasturbation.html\nFrequent masturbation and ejaculation stimulate acetylcholine/parasympathetic nervous functions. Excessive stimulation can result in over production of sex hormones and neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, dopamine and serotonin.\n\nAbundant and unusually large amount of these hormones and neurotransmitters can cause the brain and adrenal glands to perform excessive dopamine-norepinephrine-epinephrine conversion and turn the brain and body functions t

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)

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.

Here's the truth.\nMasturbation does have after affects. Too much of a good thing can do that. If you masterbate too much it can become addictive and ultimately effect you sex life with your partner. If you plan on never sharing yourself with someone else, knock your self out. But if you do, save a little for someone else.

Masturbating doesn't have any effect on your physical health.  If doing it (or anything else) compulsively it may cause you a problem though.

Masturbation neither causes blindness nor does it cause mental retardation.\n\nAnd Jesus can do nothing but stare at you and the world from his picture.

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!)

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  helps relieve stress. It also causes your body to release endorphins (pleasure hormones) which make you more chilled-out.

.the brain does not usually know the difference between masturbating,and actual intercourse. What makes sex good is usually an emotional thing for the person u/r with. Being male is a physical characteristic, so if u were born female, u still are.Anyway, masturbating is a poor way to have an  orgasm. Not only poor, but private and sick. I hope this does'nt't lead to problems with u/r life in the future, such as a pedophile in the making... so stop now, please.

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.
