Hey joe,
Your my sister age! WOW BLESS YOU!

Anyway, down to the matter in hand. I think I should eliminate some of the myths that revolve around masturbation.

    Masturbation will not, and cannot make you go blind or give you poor eyesight. I cannot find the original source of this blatant untruth, but we can probably assume that it was based in the correlation between puberty and the general age at which those with poor eyesight find out they need glasses.

    Masturbation will not, and cannot give you acne any more than any OTHER activity or phase of your life in which you have hormonal fluctuations might give you acne. In fact, almost any sexual activity improves your circulation by raising your heart rate, which is good for your skin and the rest of your body.

    Masturbation will not, and cannot make the genitals shrink or grow, and a doctor cannot tell if someone has masturbated unless they arrive at the office with ejaculate on one hand and a vibrator in the other.
    Masturbation will not, and cannot make hair grow on your palms. On the Planet of the Apes, it just might, but not here on Earth.

    Masturbation will not, and cannot make men or women infertile, or decrease sperm or egg count. It also does not make anyone "lose" their virginity, not "spoil" them for intercourse or other sexual acts. People are not cartons of milk. We cannot spoil or be "ruined." We change and grow, and as long as we act like good people in good conscience, no act or person can make us otherwise.

    Plenty of scholars and religious leaders agree, Judeo-Christian and otherwise, that masturbation is not a sin, for those whose religions include the concept of sin (and many do not). There is really nothing concrete in the Bible to support this idea; it does not say masturbation is a sin in anything but a very vague sense that is highly open to interpretation. In addition, in very few religions and traditions is it considered any sort of problem at all. There are, of course, exceptions. In some Islamic traditions, if fasting, masturbating will break a fast, and in some other cultures, like Indonesia, it is considered criminal. Bear in mind, though, that some of these beliefs are very archaic, and are not based on current scientific and medical knowledge, but became tradition when this practice (and many others) were not understood



This said, Masturbation is a healthy way of getting pleasure that does'nt involve the risk of pregnancy or STDs (within reason). Masturbation is a normal way to enjoy your own body and the way it feels. It’s a good way to learn about your body and what feels good and what doesn’t. Masturbation is a normal and healthy way to feel sexually aroused, to get sexual pleasure and to release sexual feelings.

One of the most common worries is about how often it is ‘allowed’ or ‘healthy’ to masturbate. There is no set number of times that people should masturbate—there is no medical reason why masturbating four times a day will do you any harm. Some people masturbate regularly, while other people masturbate only rarely. Some people masturbate several times a day, while others masturbate only once or twice a year. However often you masturbate is normal for you. In adolescence when you’re going through puberty it’s very common to masturbate frequently due to the hormones in your body.

Many people who are not in a relationship will masturbate to relieve sexual tension, and even in a regular relationship it is common for people to masturbate when they are feeling sexually aroused and their partner isn’t around or isn’t particularly interested in sex.

Health risks? NEVER!



Health risks ? NEVER!


Masturbation is a perfectly normal sexual activity; and there is now evidence to show masturbating regularly lowers the risk of getting testicular cancer. In the past there were lots of myths about masturbation causing all sorts of health problems. Also, some cultures disapprove of masturbation, and some religious beliefs consider it a sin. The truth is that it is perfectly okay and normal to masturbate as long as you are not doing it to shock or offend somebody else. Masturbation is healthy as long as it happens in private and without feelings of guilt. It is also okay not to masturbate if you don’t feel comfortable about doing it.

Masturbating one, two, or ten times a day is healthy, as long as it brings you pleasure and you still continue to eat, go to school, and see friends.

Are certain methods of masturbation harmful?
Your balls and penis may feel sore due to the friction involved when you masturbate frequently, so try using some lube. If you are masturbating for long periods your penis could get sore and rubbed raw so it’s often a good idea to use some kind of lubrication. Sexual lubricants (such as KY Jelly or Wetstuff) are the best, as they’re designed for human skin. But some people use vegetable oil, vaseline, spit, etc.

Masturbation is one of the safest sexual activities there is. There is no risk of infection (as long as you don’t insert or use any unclean objects during masturbation). Some guys will insert something into the anus for sexual pleasure during masturbation (eg. vibrator). This is fine as long as it is clean and doesn’t have any sharp edges which could cause damage to the delicate skin of the anus.



HOPE THIS HELPS DARLIN'

I totally agree with the above post.........u should stay away from masterbation.............cz if done at a very great frequency (= no. of times done in a week or day) it can be very dangerous 4 ur health, stamina and power.

ITs****that Masterbation does nothing 2 ur health........

REASON : Well the research shows that in male the Siemen contains sperms and Estrojen (male sex harmones). When the Siemen remains insidethe estrojen starts mixing with the blood and thats the thing which gives u power, energy, stamina and makes ur bones stronger.

When Masterbation is done daily .......there is not enough siemen made in the ...........and almost no amount of Estrojen is added 2 the blood .........the result ............ur bones will get hallow(weak).....no stamina 2 do heavy work (e.g. working out in jim) no power and no energy 2 do tuff kind of work or exercise..........

Well if u don't believe me then do masterbating one day and the same day try 2 do some jogging or running or bycycling or work out at jim.......u will feel the loss of energy and loss of stamina.............even the 2nd day u will be feeling week while doing some tuff exercises...........NOW stop masterbating 4 just 10 days ........and after 10 days do some tuff exercise.........................u will feel the difference u will feel the power rushing through ur veins......lol.........JUST TAKE A TEST............


SO MY ADVISE ............don't masterbate ..............if u can't resist it then force ur self 2 stay away 4m it 4 atleast 10 days ........and after that go 2 mall or beach and see some hotttttttttttttt babes and come back and MASTERBATE.......................(u will feel more pleasure and enjoy it more as compared 2 doing it daily......lol).................... Very Happy


Bull! First off, estrogen is the FEMALE sex hormone!

You have no grounds for any of that argument.
Your spelling/grammar are horrendous, which means you're probably not very well educated, so how could you possibly be a credible source of information?

I'd suggest to everyone not to believe anything this guy's said.

How could you possibly be impotent AND ejaculate in 2 seconds? That sounds like you're just making stuff up.
Although there does seem to be a loss of testosterone in the scrotum after masturbating, it's not a problem in any way, because your body produces an excess of it anyway and there is still plenty of it in the traveling through the body after masturbating.
I can say from personal experience that masturbating a couple times a day will NOT in any way make you more tired! I masturbate in the morning to help me wake up: I find it invigorating - it gets my blood flowing and my mind and imagination working. Although, not a legitimate citation, on one forum one person claimed that masturbation in the morning helps raise testosterone levels - I figure by sort of jump starting the system after resting for the night, (although I maybe be completely wrong.)
Also:
Bones ARE hallow, so I don't understand the baring for that entire argument. I've never broken a bone - whatever that means - but I do masturbate often. If you're worried about your bones, just drink some milk or take some calcium supplements.

The way I see it: if you're masturbating 5 times a day, you probably have too much free time on your hands anyway and should go outside and run around for a while. But 1 or 2 times a day's probably no big deal.

I would listen to the first reply on this thread - the person seems knowledgeable.

I have been masturbating every day for well over a year now and im 15.

I saw somewhere (Cant remember where now) that men/kids who masturbate 7 or more times a week have a much less chance of prostate cancer because ejaculation flushes carcinogenic fluids out of the prostate which build up over time.

I myself get very strong sexual urges if I dont masturbate for two or more days.

What scientific grounds is there to argue masterbation is bad for you? Pretty much everybody does it, and we don't exactly live in a world full of weak people who can't do anything! I do it, and I'm an athlete.
People feeling tired and sweaty must be doing it about 10 times a day. And even then I would claim that it is down to other causes. Get off your ass and do some exercise. There's no need to stop masterbating, it's probably the most exercise you get anyway...

PostPosted: 05/26/08 - 23:00    Post subject: Abstain from Masturbation for Energy? Vote now! Reply with quote

Kazamo makes an empassioned plea because he feels better not masturbating, it's all because he's abstaining.

The truth of the matter is that sexual arousal includes elevated blood pressure, sweating, increase in temperature, and some use of adreneline.

Therefore, if you are not consuming your energy through masturbation, sure you have more for other outlets.

If your eyesight is fluctuating, that could be a function of blood pressure (though I am not an optomotrist).

If Kazamo is feeling better about his experiences, that's great! But please do not think that you will have this dramatic improvement in all areas, just because of this. (I suspect that Kazamo was causing some of his difficulties [migranes, lack of energy, etc] due to excessive masturbation, without noting the connection of sleep deprivation due to sexual excitment and getting a good night's sleep!)
