hey, i'm 15 years old, almost 16, and i've been masturbating since i was 14 and i do it once a day and try to avoid it as much as i can, but as soon as i see a hot girl or something, i make that image in my mind when i masturbate and it works better to me, i also do it while i watch porn, i would like to know if its bad for you or no, i do experiance some side effects of masturbation i believe, when i do it i feel dumb, i feel like a part of my brain is missing, i have experianced short term memory loss and i believe it's from masturbation, i also am a virgin, ive never even kissed a girl before, i want to make out with a girl so bad, but not have sex cuz i heard of the sti's that i can get cuz o that. Thanks ***this post is edited by moderator *** *** private e-mails not allowed **

You should not be worried, it is a very normal healthy thing!! You have just gone through puberty, and have lots of new feelings about sex. Most people at any age masterbate, even though they dont talk about it.

Im sure it doesnt cause short term memory loss!!

No one has ever dies from over masterbation, enjoy it ,and know its is okay :-D

From your post, it sounds like you have a healthy imagination and you do not need porn to get off. That is, for me, where the problem sets in, when you cannot get aroused without the help of porn, whether you are masturbating or with your girlfriend. Porn addiction is a real problem, but occasional porn use shouldn't be a problem. 

Of course, if you feel guilty after masturbating, which is a common effect of masturbation since it is still seen as wrong by many people, perhaps just read up about its health benefits, such as stress relief and a reduction in anxiety.

No! Be careful, masturbating is normal yes, but when it's excessive it become a very big risk to your health.
Frequent masturbation and ejaculation stimulate acetylcholine/parasympathetic nervous functions excessively, resulting in the over production of sex hormones and neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, dopamine and serotonin. Abundant and unusually 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 to be extremely sympathetic. In other words, there is a big change of body chemistry when one excessively pratices masturbation.

The side effects of such changes to the body include:
Fatigue. Feeling tired all the time
Lower back pain
Stress / Anxiety
Thinning hair / Hair Loss
Soft / Weak Erection
Premature Ejaculation
Eye floaters or fuzzy vision
Groin / Testicular Pain
Pain or cramp in the pelvic cavity or/and tail bone

Listen, i studied about that, masturbation is BAD, BAD and BAD.
And don't forger, over masturbation means that you have a psycological problem. revise your mind.

(and for those who reply to your question, you must know that when we are not sure about a medical answmer, we don't give it. So don't say that masturbation is good since you are sure of that.)

Hope you will stop it quickly, and I swear that you may have big problems if you continue like that.

don't worry kid, the above response is total bs. You are more likely to harm yourself by not masturbating than masturbating. Go to a qualified website on the topic and find out, they'll confirm that it is perfectly healthy. Despite certain people's opinions (most often girls) EVERYONE does and needs to.

This may sound weird but I had problems with my gums when I masturbated. I stopped for awhile and now my gums feel stronger than when I masturbate a few times a week.

If masturbation can cause uncomfortable side effects, it can probably affect the health of your gums as well.

Hi, this is another question which is related.

I used to masterbate quite a lot, until about 2 months ago when i met this girl, so i stopped masturbating. but anyway shes recently gone on holiday, so i havent done anything for a week, i feel better for not doing it, more lively and feel more energetic, but a few days ago i started feeling pain in my testicles, and i found that masturbating relieved this pain.

My question is, have i got something wrong, or is it just lack of.... exercise for the testicles that cause this pain?

Hi,
Im 23 years old and have been masturbating since i was 16. Now its very frequent and has become an addiction which im not able to come out of. I have been suffering more and more as years pass. First major change was Hair Loss, im literally bald at this very young age. other side effects from this terrible addiction include

Memory Loss
Fatigue
Restless and insecurity
Very bad concentration
Shrinking of the penis size
Low self esteem
Too much stress
Sleeping disorders

I have tried a lot of medicines for my hairloss it didnt work because only lately i figured out that it is directly link with my masturbation. When i use the hair loss medicine the hair become thick, but then when i maturbate regularly the hair become oily and thin again.

Please dont do this frequently as it will eat u alive and give u a horibble life. Just make up ur mind that ull only use ur penis with a girl, which will also help u improve ur dating skills. Take it from me if i were u i will try to stop it right there.

Thank You

WOW talk about BS in plain view from that post. Some girl probably posted this since her ex liked to masturbate rather than have sex with her and obviously she got pissed haha. Believe me, masturbation does NOT give ANY of those symptoms. Excessive masturbation in a short period of time can cause pain and discomfort during erections but that is just related to the excessive use of the muscles in your penis. Like every other muscle, it will hurt if you work on it too much.

And PLEASE, dont believe that your hair gets thin every time you masturbate. Thats the dumbest thing ive ever heard.

About penis size... masturbating regularly actually increases the size of the penis a certain degree while it is erected.

hello everyone.
well am a 20 years old male and i have been masturbating for 6 years but only last couple of years i started to do it once aday at least .
and also am a medical student and i have asked my professors at college about the effects that might be cuzed by masturbation
it cuzes hair loss to some ppl that already have a hair loss runnin into the family but it makes it faster .
it doesnot affect penis size at all . bigger or smaller .
and it affects the vision too , and the body loses alota vitamins in the ejaculation . including vitamin A which is important for the eyes.
it also stimulates the adrenal medula and effects the body hormones . and gives weekness in the joints in general .
and most of us that masterbates doesnot have a healthy diet which would make it worse . not to mention that the body loses some water .
i have read about studied that strongly recommends takin a shower after orgasm , weather it was from ejaculation or sex .
and my advice is to try to stop masturbating as possible like make it once in two days then two times a week and so on .
and make sure to supply ur body with vitamins in case it happened and u masturbated .
but dont count on it .
and about the pain in the testes and the penis in the erection thats cuzed from the stimulation of the blood vessels and by the way the errection is cuzed by the blood vessels not the muscles buddy .. and when someone gives an advice make sure ur sayin the right information .
thank u all

I'm just wondering if there has ever been any REAL research on the health risks/benefits of masturbation? It seems from this thread and other places on the web people are either entirely pro or anti masturbation. Now with most (if not all) things there's good and bad to it...EVEN WATER which is normally considered to be harmless and beneficial to one's health can cause death from over consumption. I am not saying one can die from masturbation but surely it is concievable that some harm may result in the over-practice of it. Other parts of our bodies wear out from years of abuse/use so why not the reproductive organs? The people on either side of the debate seem to be completely biased and seem to tend more on anecdotal evidence and their personal feelings on the subject rather than actual scientific research. What we need is actual facts and not people pushing their pro or anti masturbation agendas based off of their own personal or religious philosophies...
