Myth and Facts About Masturbation

Does it trouble you to masturbate? Find all the answers you need.

Facts:

  1. Masturbation is a normal stage in growing up, it is perfectly natural for people hitting puberty to masturbate, and there is nothing wrong with it.
  2. Masturbation also does not cause bodily harm, that is, within a given limit, for most people, your body can take the stress of masturbating no more than twice a day.
  3. Masturbating on a regular basis, that is, a routinely schedule, is better than not masturbating, masturbate every other day actually helps decrease the testosterone level in your blood stream.
  4. A decrease in testosterone balances your body's hormone level that is said to help treat pimple break outs, easier to control anger.
  5. Masturbation also increases blood circulation in your body, and oxygen supply.
  6. However, controlled masturbation without ejaculation is said to cause harm to your body on a long term basis, it is strongly not recommended to withheld ejaculation as it is said to be extremely harmful to your testes.
  7. Do not masturbate for more than four times a day, or three times on a consecutive basis. This causes extra stress on your testes and can cause cells to undergo meiosis (a form of cell division) higher than normal speed, and increases the chance of non disjunction (a form of genetic defects in sex cells). You could be sterile if you masturbated too often (that is more than four times a day. People claimed they can ejaculate sixteen times a day, I just want to call them stupid idiots).
  8. Masturbation with normal ejaculation is just the same as having sex, nothing wrong with that within a limit.
  9. It is also a good practice for when the time comes.

Myths:

  1. Masturbation causes kidney failure? No, your parents tell you this because they do not want you to do it; it does not affect your kidney and is no where near the causes for kidney failure.
  2. It will make your penis grow larger? No, it will not do that either, people's penis size cannot be increased (all the advertisement that claims they can is a bunch of fake). Your penis size is set when you finished puberty (usually 18 or 19).
  3. It will hurt your penis? Masturbate (or have sex too often) can bend the shape of your penis to the right or left a little bit depends on if you are left or right handed. However, it does not impede the normal functions of your penis and can be ignored. It does not hurt your penis if you are not circumcised, if you are, lubricating oils are recommended (or you can use soap, two birds with one stone, you can clean your penis whilst enjoy it).
  4. Is it unnatural? No, it is not, ever since men had developed the ability to use their hands, they started to masturbate, some religious group (mainly Christian and Catholic) claims they are a sin, but again, 93% of the male population over 16 masturbates.

    If they all go to hell, 7% of the original male population will take on the task of breeding 76% or the original female population.

I am appalled at the lack of editorial oversight here. The "facts" cited here have absolutely no basis. While I agree with the overall message that masturbation is healthy and normal, there is no evidence to support the majority of claims here. If you're going to make such claims, you'd better support it with clinical citations.

I also support this article and if clinical subjects are needed, count me in!

I've used medication to increase my penis size and it worked and i would have to disagree with that fact. but it's awesome that masturbation is healthy.

I'm not a fan of how you insinutated that Christians believe that you'll go to Hell for that. Yeah, it's a sin, but can easily be forgiven. It's not like every male's doomed.

Oh, and Catholics are Christians, you nub.
