Masturbation problems and questions

i am 14 and have realised that masturbation is very bad, i satrted when was about 13 and instantly i experienced long and short term memory loss. My advice is too not do it

I'm 14, and I masturbate often. I have dandruff and sometimes lose a small piece of hair recently, and I don't know why. Also, does masturbation affect weight? I really need some advice on this.

LOL ok, all of you need to relax! Masturbating is a natural, normal and actually can be healthy for you. Did you know that it can actually relax your body? And it does not cause shrinkage. If this were the case then all men's penises would be the size of a mini put pencil. And it does not make you dumb either. If that were the case, then a good portion of the world's population’s brains would be mush. If you don't think masturbating is good, then no one is here to make you feel bad about it, but in the same sense don't go making up c**p about it lol.
Like I said before, there is nothing wrong with masturbating.

I am not sure how I got to this page, I was searching for something else. Anyway now I am here I will just say. I am a male of 70. (much older than most of you)

From the ages of about 12 to 18 I would masturbate up to 4 times a day every day. (suprised I didn't go blind) I was married for 42 years before my wife died of cancer aged 60. For the last 10 years I have masturbated with no problems to my health at all. although I don't do it as much as I did when I was young. If it feels good do it. Masturbating won't kill you or do you any harm. I doub't I will find this page again as I am not that good with computers and the internet. I do hope this is of some help to some of you

I'm deeply disturbed to see some of the things people say masturbating can cause. I should be a blind, bald, depressed, fat old lady by now, and so should my boyfriend!

Masturbating relieves stress. I do it to unwind at the end of the day, that deep sigh of relax and the falling asleep is great! Don't let society guilt trip you. It's an innocent pleasure that even us ladies dig. I've heard girls gossip about the same kind of things. Old, old books published a long time ago by religious folks say crazy things about how masturbating can affect your health, and it's amazing how those old wives tales can stick.

I can see how it -could- cause stress, if you were obsessed with feeling guilty about it. So just relax. Your body is the one posession in life that no one can take from you. It's yours more than anything else in the whole universe. So enjoy it. The pleasure is yours to have, guilt free. Don't let someone take your own body from you, folks!

Yeah, I know, I repeated myself a couple times. XD

Hi,
I have a question and I was wondering if anyone might have an answer for me. After I masturbate I get really bad diarrhea and it lasts about a week. I was just wondering if maybe something is wrong with me? I've gotten a pap smear and the results came back negative, so I'm not really sure what it could be from.

Wow thanks for the information, I'll try not to masturbate again. Me too, 16 years of age, masturbate often since 14, now I have experience these problems:

Eye floaters or (fuzzy vision)
Stress / Anxiety
Fatigue. Feeling tired all the time
I think Im also loosing hair too
A bit of low self esteem
And not as tall as other people too.

I started to slow down recently, like once a week. Do you think I could revert it back? If I stop it immediately?

I cannot believe the rediculous things these people are posting.

Honestly, I believe the "people" who are claiming to have "studied" masturbation as university or whatever, are in fact idiots. Perhaps they are some uni students who are out for a laugh. Out to take the satisfaction out of a stress relieving act of privacy.

Now, masturbation is perfectly normal. IT HAS NO SIDE EFFECTS.

As for getting diahorrea from it, I seriously doubt it. Especially if you've had tests done, etc.

Is it not likely that at your age you may be around a lot of people? People who may have stomach bugs and other nasties?

Eye floaters? Thats BS. Fatigue? Thats a laugh. Loss of hair? Thats rediculous. Wasn't the old wives tale you GREW hair on your palms? Tallness? Thats the biggest load of c**p of all of them.

Now listen:
Fatigue - Masturbation, as far as I know, helps sleeping patterns! Not directly, however an orgasm at night often helps me go to sleep, and I stay asleep till morning, a nice long nights sleep does wonders! Maybe you're getting fatigued because you stay up late watching TV, or go out drinking with friends or something.

Loss of hair - I don't think so. Puberty causes hair growth on different parts of the body, I doubt an act incurred by hormones could cause hair loss.

Tallness - I have many friends. They're all 6 foot tall. Easily. (I'm Australian by the way, we breed them big down here.) Now, they're all pretty damn open with their private lives, and I can assure you they masturbate, usually everyday. I am only 170cms (about 5'6) and have been with my girlfriend for 3 years, I certainly don't masturbate everyday. I am shorter than my friends who do. So I say that your gene's are the ones that are stumping your growth. Not your private acts.

Anxiety - Oh my goodness. You cant be serious. You remember the girlfriend I just told you about? She knows straight away when I'm stressed out. Just as I can tell when she is. Now when she can tell i'm stressed, she tells me to masturbate. Viola, it helps! Just as I tell her to when she's stressed. Now i'm not saying its going to solve the problem of why you're stressed in the first place, but a level head and relaxed mind just might.


Now to top it all off, when me and my girlfriend are together, quite often we masturbate eachother. (Sex isnt always so convenient) I find this as one of the more intimate acts of sexual pleasure.

But you know what I think the MOST intimate act is? Masturbating yourself in front of your partner. Why? Because masturbation is such a private thing, that having the trust in your partner to reveal to them your secret desires, feelings, and pleasures to them brings you so much closer.


In conclusion, don't dish out on masturbation, it is god given, and if more people practised it more often, i don't doubt that rapes and sexual assaults in the world would begin to decrease.

Yours Sincerely,
Jym.

i have to agree with the first person...i think masturbation does affect ur hair...because i have been masterbatin since 14 and that time i had lots of hair very thick...now im almost 17. this past summer i stopped masterbating and nothing happened to my hair but then again i started masterbatin around october and now i lost lots of hair...from now on im not gonna masterbate ever...and that dude that said masturbation has no side affect i guess it is different for different people. it is NOT BS....it is true. Not masturbation is the rigth choice

It can lower the chance of prostate cancer

Hi can anyone help me with my problem? Ive recently had a soccer ball hit me hard on my pnis. Ity didnt hurt a lot but 3 days after that when i tried to masturbate i couldnt get an erection or even cum. If anyone has had this problem before please answer me and tell me what i should do. p.s. Im really worried that ill never get an erection or cum again

You seem to be somewhat misinformed and grandiose in your attitude.. You are probably either very young or just immature, uneducated and dont read anything, only believing truth to be anything related to only your own limited experience.. To believe masturbating over-regularly can do nothing to your nervous system or your neurotransmittors is totally ignorant and foolish, especially as you seem to think you can give medical advice to someone else. Start reading and educating yourself about everything so you wont foolishly harm yourself and others about any things you consider to be 'fact', because thats how you think.

I am 18 and i masturbate at least once a day sometimes twice it does calm me down and i havent had any problems, maybe only if i do it more than once and my cum comes out more watery and can sometimes be less pleasureable. But i usually do it once and then wait a few hours before doing it again so i can ensure i get a good feeling from it

DONT FLOP THE DOLPHIN
