Can masterbation lead to an impotency?

This is absolutely ridiculous. I don't know why I am going to bother saying this as i am only reiterating what other people havesaid and everyone else has ignored.

Masterbating is not bad for you. Period. It isn't going to hurt you physically or mentally. In fact teenagers who masterbate (especially girls) have much more satisfying and fulfilling adult sex lives. This is because they learn how to please themselves and learn self control. In fact masterbation should help a young man with premature ejaculation, if you practice holding off your orgasm you will be able to wow your future partner with your stamina and self control.

Also, If you are actually masterbating so much that it is hurting your penis it simply won't respond, your body is pretty good at letting you know when enough is enough. I know when I do it more than a couple times a day I simply don't want it anymore. Your body will let you know.

I also agree with what many others have said on here, if you are addicted to masterbating that is a problem....just like any addiction it can lead to serious mental health problems. The problem though is the addiction not the masterbation. Most normal people do not become addicted to masterbating. If you feel like you have a healthy social life and are doing well in school then keep on whackin' it!

As far as having an unhealthy view of the opposite sex...masterbating has nothing to do with it. If you think of women as sex objects you don't need to touch yourself to think it. masterbating is about pleasing yourself and I'm not sure what it has to do with the opposite sex.

There's my two cents.

whoa people! what is wrong with you!
listen kid, you'll be fine.
i dont think you should be doing it 4 times a day, only because your parents might walk in. TRUST ME with all the cancers and heart problems, you should just be concerned about what your eating, hygiene, etc.
crazy people!

What the ****are you talking about?



Masturbation does NOT cause serious social crisis, unless your doing it out in public in front of your friends, which is stupid. And if your view towards the opposite sex becomes inhumane, then your just an *****



I masturbate at least once a day, and my friends know about it, and they DON'T GIVE A ***** I still feel the same towards the opposite sex (in this case Women.) I love Women, and I always will, you just have problems because your an **** and you don't know how to deal with life.



If you masturbate, BIG DEAL, everyone does, at least once.



your not gonna die from it.

Is there even such a thing as Chronic masturbation? How in the world can masturbation ruin your life? Sure, pornography can turn sex into a silly commercial icon, but it is not going to give you adhd or make you lose your eyesight. At worst, too much masturbation can oversaturate you and you may be able to think about something besides sex for more than a few hours a day. Don't worry so much. It's safe sex afterall.

I agree with you. After reading the first two pages of this thread, I just

skipped up until the last page because of the amount of "masturbation

made me loose my eye sight", "masturbation made me gay" and so on.



If you ever develop health problems such as blood in urine and

bad eye sight, then see a doctor before jumping to how your

masturbation habit(s) caused it. No matter what age you are even

if you are (out of randomness) 13 and you have to ask a parent

to goto a doctor, than do it! As an earlier poster had said that he/she

had developed problems from not getting help (of any kind) that it

messed up his/her life. Also if you do goto a doctor about some

health problem that could somehow be related to masturbation

and the doc. says reduce how many times you masturbate a day

from (lets say) 5 times a day to 1-3 a week then listen to the doc.!



Sorry if my post dragged on or was off topic, I couldn't resist

from making a post.

Hope this helps.

Just a Note one of my friends did an oral essay on masterbation so no offense to those of u out there who think they know what they're talking about.... Masterbation is perfectly natuaral, especialy at the teen years and even into adult years. It does not cause damage to you in any way, if it did then sex could cause damage; putting aside things such as diseases. It will not cause the lose of any of your senses nor will it cause mental damage. And anyone who says that it causes ADHD needs to be shot. I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 3 and I never masterbated until I was 12. ADHD is a mental learning disability mainly and has no origin within sexual relations with yourself or someone else. If you masterbate alot or feel the urge to then that simply means that you have a natural desire to have sexual relations. Mind you, don't do anything without protection at your age. If you don't feel comfortable haveing sexual relations with a female then masterbation is an option. If anything it means your growing up and becoming a man.

Hi, I think masterbation affects people in different ways. For my case, I have been masterbating since I was 4-5! I am not kidding, but at that time of course there was no cum. The age when I started to cum was around 12. Yes, it is also true for me that the more I masterbate, at around 14-15, I masterbate at least 3 times a day, the less interest I have on one particular scene on women. And I believe this was why I found myself can even masterbate on guys at around 16 years old. After 19-20, I found myself dominately interested on guys. I found my pennis not fully straight when getting hard, instead it bends towards left. And my pennis size didn't go any longer after at the age of 16 or 17. The only good thing for masterbation is that it can release stress. After masterbation, I can quickly fall asleep. Now I am 24 years old and still masterbate regularly. I feel painful but I don't know and really want to know what a life without masterbation would be like for those who seldom masterbate.

Masterbation is a natural course of life and should not be thought about in a negative light. I am 25 years old with two degrees and a masters in Biology. I have a healthy sexual appetite and still masturbate on a regular basis. 1-2 times a day. As long as you maintain proper hygiene and don't go about it to aggressively you should be fine. The idea that masturbation causes you to view the other sex in a negative way is a complete idiotic and 1700's point of view. Masturbation is not an evil or wrong thing to do. Stop worrying too much! You are normal and life will progress fine. Just don't let it take too much out of your life that actual loving and physical contact cannot be achieved.

I actually asked my dad the same question and he said if you do IT witha girl u love god and your body (christian and non-christian answers here :D) it will still be as intimate as ever 8)

From a scientific point of view: No, masturbation does not cause the body any actual harm, it can, however, cause chemical and hormonal imbalances if done excessively. It will not degrade your eyesight over time, it can however effect your PERCEPTION, and hand-eye coordination for a "Short Period" directly after masturbation due to the chemicals released during s... release :p

As you age, your eyesight naturally deteriorates, this can be due to your genes, body symmetry (IE, one eye being a different shape than the other which can cause one eye being farsighted and the other nearsighted) which is quite common, or excessive use of the computer. But even that last part is inaccurate, if you sit with the monitor 2-3 feet away from your face and take breaks and rest your eyes (by looking away or closing them) every 20-30 minutes for 20-30 seconds then it wont affect your eyesight any.
If your glaring at the monitor 8 inches away without blinking for several hours (like most avid computer gamers) then yeah it can effect your eyesight over time, as that would be putting them through a massive continuous strain.

Masturbation does not cause urinary problems, for males it -can- however make it more difficult to urinate if you attempt to shortly after climax. As there are 2 valves, one controls the flow of urine, and the other controls the flow of semen, when one is in use, the other closes. After ejaculation, the valve that controls your urinary flow may be slow to respond and stay closed for a few moments. Those of you who speak of experiencing a burning sensation when urinating this is often where it will originate from.

When you try to urinate the valve slowly opens up to allow the flow of urine, you can experience a burning sensation from the urine passing through the urinary tract and or flowing across/against the valve that controls the flow of your semen. Secondly, after climax/ejaculation, the tissue inside the urinary tract becomes more sensitive than it normally is(either from the liquid within the semen or from the chemicals released in your body), this can cause a burning sensation too.

Here are some things to ask yourself, if you masturbate excessively, how many times do you urinate per day? Now how many times do you masturbate in between each urination? If you only urinate 3-4 times a day, and you also masturbate 3-4 times a day, well, that can possibly be your problem.

Secondly, Masturbation does not cause impotency, if you masturbate excessively each day, then the amount of sperm in each ejaculation becomes more and more depleted, so in a sense, it may give the impression of impotency as there aren't enough sperm to guarantee conception if you have intercourse with your partner after masturbating several times ;p. However DONT think of this as a way to prevent pregnancy as theres still that small chance it -might- happen anyway. ;p

--------

In the end though, while masturbation isnt harmful to your body, it -is- harmful to your mind and your social life if done excessively. It'll make you feel lethargic throughout most of the day if you do it multiple times throughout the day, youll find yourself uninterested in things that normally interested you etc. Also, you'll find that after you've played the same fantasy in your mind over and over, after a while it stops exciting you, which then makes you fantasize about more and more extreme things. ... this could become a bad thing if you dont moderate yourself. :-) depending on how extreme you let your fantasies get. (in short dont let them get extreme in the first place)

Religious point of view: Masturbation is the Devil! ^,.,^

I'm now 20 yr old. I started masterbating at the age of 15. I do it 1-3 times a day. Its not bad really. However, I've got the same feeling of looseness of penis, non-erection. When I first felt this I was afraid of becoming impotent. But now I know, from the steadyhealth.com that it really never leads to any impotency. All you feel is a bit lack of energy. But when you want to masterbate do it for fun and dont think of anything else (of course not more than 3 times a day). And when you want to f**k reduce your tension and masterbation and think of her. It will STAND, cause it have to stand.

So dont be afraid.

Rather, you'd get another advantage from masterbating everyday. Those who have not done it like us, would come quickly than us. We are the one to hold our pleasure as long as we wish.

If you think masterbation doesn't cause social issues you are sadly mistaken. My now ex husband used to masterbate several times a day as a matter of fact many times he would tell me to stay in the other room so he can look at the computer and "take care of business" and many many times would turn me down because "porn is just far more exciting" A normal woman/man will never live up to what you see in a porn video, what your fantasy is. We started out just fine and then he couldn't climax without manual stimulation and before I moved out he couldn't climax at all without doing it himself and looking at porn.

He became increasingly distant, angry, and mean. I am sad for him that this issue will continue because despite the urologist telling him that masterbation (to the drgree he was doing it) was the cause of the problem, he refuses to believe it. And ever girl in the future will have hte same issue with him.

i've been masturbating since i was thirteen. throughout the years, i have changed frequencies. starting from thirteen, i masturbated twice a week then i masturbated from once a week to almost once every month now. after all this, i noticed that i ejaculate much faster than when i was thirteen. thinking back to when i was thirteen, i could last for about 20 minutes, now i can only last about 20 seconds. i am also done after one go, and cant seem to erect a second time right afterwards. i was wondering if there maybe a connection between the amount i masturbated regularly to the how quick i ejaculate.

how much we shud per day ? i mean more then 2 is harmfull per day ???

My Dear Friend , 

I am also in a confused that wheather masterbation may lead us to impotence , and i have done many research and found it has happened to some who is many dependent on jung foods or fast foods, but never loose your confidence , if there is a problem , there is a solution also , be patient and keep you in control , and realise it should be solved by ourself ,as many of us are not willing to approach a doctor for this.

Natural remedies : taking lime juice , ginger , garlic , orange juice , Nuts

Herbal medicines : also available plenty in market ( which ever your prefer or feel better)

Never Give Up .... things will change.... ( GANA)
