First of all, masturbation is a natural thing. If you OVERDO it all the time, it could be injurious but I don't know of anyone that WAS injured YET. You might be the first.\n\nYou ARE expending energy when you masturbate, however, when you get too tired, you won't be ABLE to.\n\nNow for the LOGICAL part, it WILL affect your sexual life if you feel GUILTY about doing it and have always done it really fast so that you can hide the fact that you are doing it.\nYour sex life can be affected because it creates the 'requirement' in your brain for speed--the quick release, and in normal sexual practice with a partner, instantaneous ejaculation is not desireable.

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.

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.

It has no effect on your eyesight whatsoever.  That particular myth was started in the days before medical research was done... well, scientifically, to be honest.  Everything from birth defects to syphilis to blindness and hairy palms have been ascribed to masturbation, and none of it whatsoever is true.  About a century's worth of research on the subject consistently shows there to be no deleterious effects whatsoever to masturbation except, of course, for slightly lowered sperm counts and seminal volume due to increased ejaculatory frequency... and that's only really important if you're trying to conceive a child, and curable by simply spending a day or two not engaging in sexual stimulation.\n\nThe rest of the "harmful effects" were just something the physicians of the time decided to start saying because they were prejudiced against the behavior (remember, these are the same doctors who said a woman's uterus had to be regularly bathed in male fluids or it would shrivel up and fall out... not the most learned or objective of people).

MASTURBATION 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:\nMasturbation does not affect eyesight. This myth probably originated because boys often start having to wear glasses at about the same age they start masturbating. \nMYTH:\nMasturbation causes your penis to stop growing (or) to get bigger. \nFACT:\nMasturbation has no effect on penis size whatsoever. \nMYTH:\nMasturbation causes your testicles to shrink.\nFACT:\nAbsolutely false! It is true that if you're highly aroused, your testicles become engorged with blood and may appear slightly larger and heavier, and that masturbating will make them revert to normal. But they will absolutely not be any smaller than after the last time you masturbated. \nMYTH:\nMasturbation causes acne. \nFACT:\nIt doesn't cause acne. Like the eyesight myth, this is a case of two things that happen at the same time, even though one doesn't cause the other. \nMYTH:\nMasturbation causes sexually transmitted diseases. \nFACT:\nHello? "Sexually transmitted" means from one person to another. You can't give yourself a sexually transmitted disease! \nMYTH:\nIf you masturbate too much, you'll run out of semen and become sterile. \nFACT:\nSemen is a fully renewable resource. When you ejaculate semen, your body simply makes more — the same way your body makes more saliva after you spit. \nMYTH:\nPeople can tell whether you masturbate by how your penis looks. \n------------------------------------------------------------------\nMasturbation Frequency:\nhttp://www.jackinworld.com/misc/faqtree1.html#mastfreq\n\nHow often does the average male masturbate?\nIt depends on a lot of factors, the most important being age. For an 18-year-old male, a rough average is once a day or so. This is slightly higher for younger teenagers — maybe 10 or 12 times a week, and slightly lower for older people. You might be surprised by how often adult men masturbate — even happily married men.\n\nI think I'm addicted to masturbation. Is that possible?\nIt is, although many, many people think they're addicted when they're really just doing what comes naturally. For more on this topic, read the article Is Masturbation Addictive?(http://www.jackinworld.com/library/articles/addict.html).\n\nHow can I masturbate less often, or quit altogether?\nIt's tough; it takes a lot of will power. It can be done, especially if you're driven by very strong religious feelings. However, JackinWorld's position is that it's not worth it. We think you should enjoy the harmless pleasures your body can provide.

Never do masturbation. Take dry fruits like dates, almond and cashew-nut. Otherwise also it is no problem. It will help to father a child, but avoid masturbation.

However many times you feel the need. I wouldn't recommend it though. There is something called "Over Masturbation". That's right look it up on the web. It causes a lot of problems like, erectile dis-function, hair lose, and fatigue. Do like I do, keep your jerk off sessions down to 2-3 times a week, instead of 2-3 times a day. Also whack it without squirting. I know it sounds hard, but you can get use to it. Feel free to IM me.

There are absolutely no side effects to masturbation. In fact, it is said that masturbation can be good for you as prevention for prostate cancer. See link 1. Some people think masturbation is wrong or sinful, although this is not at all the case (link 2 can help with that).\nMasturbation is a natural form of sexual release. A lot of the stories about "side effects" and people going on about how "bad" it is came from the era of a man named John Harvey Kellog, the man who also made cornflakes. He ranted about how he could 'tell' if a man masturbated, etc. If you read through the list of "symptoms" (link 3), you'll see how ridiculous this is. \nAlthough I am totally against stopping masturbating, which causes great sexual tension and is unhealthy, I do want to answer your question completely, so link 4 will take you to some ideas to help you get away from it.

if you use it excessively you could be damaging delicate nerve endings and each time it will take more and more stimulation. If I were you I'd try cutting back and then see what happens with the guys.

Seriously, I know I answered your other question on this topic with a joke, but there are no known harmful side effects of masturbation. Here's a link that will provide you with reassurance that masturbation is a healthy and normal human reaction. It will tell you the who, what, when, where, why and how's of masturbation.\nhttp://www.mckinley.uiuc.edu/Handouts/masturbation.html

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.

Check with your doctor, first and foremost. Then maybe change the way you masturbate. You could be causing harm to your body.

LOL masturbating won't make you fat. And doing it 3 or 4 times a week isn't really that much unless you take a day or more each time to reach orgasm.\n\nBeing overweight is a problem in today's generations but it is more from improper food being eaten, too much idleness and a general malaise in the early years.\n\nSo, keep masturbating but join a gym or take up swimming and get lots of exercise daily,  Also move to eating a lot of fresh foods instead of prepackaged meals, cut down on starches (potatoes, rice, pasta and white bread), drink lots of water (not pop or sweetened beverages) adn just generally get out and have an active life through work, school, social activities, sports and whatever you can drum up to do.\n\nNo, you won't lose the weight overnight but by establishing a good solid and pleasant routine you will gradually tone up and feel better.  And who knows, maybe being fitter will give you the energy to masturbate daily.

i used to feel the same, because i was grew up being told that it was a sin.  Since you're probably not gonna be able to stop masterbating, you should work on getting rid of all of the stigmas you have on it.  you just have to learn to realize that it's not a bad thing.  if you keep telling yourself that it is a bad thing then you will always get that bad feeling afterwards.
