Need to Know About Masturbation Posted: 08-13-05 11:12am
Hi all ,
im a 17-year-old male and i've been
masterbating since I split a lot.
These days I masterbate at least once a
day. Will masterbating affect my health,
growth, sexual future, bones, or anything
at all??
What are the effects of masterbating?
Should I stop or at least masterbate less?
Plz help im really worried..
Thanks

what are the effects of masterbating? -
orgasm with ejaculation
should I stop or at least masterbate less?
That is a personal discression...
Masterbation is not harmful nor is it
going to hurt you in any way. It is a
wonderful think knowing how to please your
self. Now it can be a problem if you are
involved with someone and you are more
interested in your self than the other
person, but other than that jerk off as
much as you liike.

Posted from your post in the other topic:
bgivs: masturbation is a normal healthy
activity. It does not cause any medical
problems or have any serious long term
effects or side effects. It should not
hurt or cause any future problems.
Masturbating can be done as frequently as
you wish as long as it does not interfere
with your life. It won't cause any
health, growth, sexual, or bone problems
as long as you don't over do it; and
masturbating once a day is not overdoing
it. The only reason that you want to cut
back is if you noticed stress problems in
your life caused by your masturbation; but
you arn't masturbating nearly enough to
have these problems.
As long as you dont have any of the
problems below caused by "over
masturbation," you have nothing to worry
about. These problems are caused by
masturbating 5 or more times a day. But
it doesn't seem as though you should be
having any of these problems seeing that
you masturbate just once a day, just as I
do and I have no problems. Let me know if
you do and I can give you some additional
advice. The symptoms of of over
masturbation are:
-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
don't worry if you meet 2 or less of these
symptoms, its most likely just a
coincidince.
Don't worry about it, just enjoy it! Hope
this helps and let me know if you have any
more questions!

Keep in mind that during puberty
masturbating too often will stunt your
penis growth.

no! And I quote:
"masturbating is a completely healthy
activity that causes no health problems.
It will not stunt or slow down the growth
of your penis!"
if this doesn't convince you what
"justin_toronto" said is wrong, I don't
know what will...

Hey you don't have to believe me if you
don't want to... And stop reading
unfounded articles on the internet.
Like everything in life, moderation is
key. Likewise, there is a difference
between masturbation and excessive
masturbation. Just like any type of
bodybuilding or exercise, if you do too
much without allowing your body ample time
to recover (especially in terms of your
sexuality), it will be hindered in terms
of growth and/or performance.
You have to understand there is a sharp
spike in the decline of both dhea and
testosterone after every orgasm, it can
take anywhere from 12-hours to 48-hours
for peak levels to be established. It's
also no secret that testosterone is
responsible for your body's maturing
amongst other things. If you are
constantly depleating your body's natural
testosterone levels and hindering
production, what do you think will happen
to your body's development? This isn't a
secret, and it's not a new concept. Also
important why many athletes abstain from
intercourse before big games (i.E.
Olympics) to help keep their testosterone
levels & performance up to par.
As I said, if you don't want to research
it properly... It doesn't matter to me.
You can do what you want to your body,
it's your choice. Personally, I
bodybuild and am heavily involved in
health & nutrition, for me things are
a bit different.

this is true. I've never heard about the
rest of it though. Do you have an article
or something on it somewhere you could
link to?

All of the stuff those morons said about
stunting your growth, thinning hair, etc.,
is caca. Pure crap. The only problem
too much masturbation can have is that it
may affect your social life. Don't
worry about jerking off too much -- just
do it and keep it personal and private,
unless you're seeing someone. It feels
good and is healthy to release that excess
semen. It has no bad side effects.
Trust me, i'm a doctor.

Not every person is the same and some will
be hairier than others. You're also quite
young so I wouldn't worry about it. In
fact most of my friends (around 26) aren't
very hairy, except me and one other. We're
also the ones going bald. I can't remember
which hairs came in first, but some don't
happen early in puberty, such as chest
hairs.
As for masturbation, it's perfectly normal
and perfectly healthy. You don't want to
overdo it, but it won't really cause
problems. Semen does have minerals and
nutrients that you will lose, but they are
replaced. However, reducing their loss is
good for sexual health. So if you want you
can refrain from masturbating EVERY day
and give a couple days break a week. No
big deal really.
As for size, average is 5-6" erect. You're
young and still growing so it's not bad if
you haven't reached that yet. I've read a
book "Scientifically Guaranteed Male
Multiple Orgasms and Ultimate Sex," that
has tips for enlarging the penis that are
even better to use during puberty.
However, I can't tell you whether they
work, just thought I'd mention it and let
you decide on your own. I think it
involved ejaculating less (to keep those
nutrients good for sexual health), but
still masturbating often. The masturbating
means your body releases those chemicals
for erections, frequent blood flow in the
penis, and causing DHT (a potent form of
testosterone) to remain in your penis for
longer times, building DHT receptors in
your penis, enlarging it. There was also a
recommendation of putting GLA oil on the
penis. GLA is Omega 6 I believe and can be
found in Borage Oil. However, to get the
whole regimen you'd have to find the book.
I think someone actually sells a similar
regimen gotten from that book, online as
an e-book.
I don't think you should worry about it,
because of your age. Nothing wrong with
being average. Women don't care and you
can please them even when small. Work with
what you've got as opposed to wishing you
had something else.

Wait a Minute! Posted: 03-13-07 22:49pm
I am 14 years old and I regretfully have
been masturbating for the past two years
of my life. Three months after I started
I noticed some bumps form on my scrotum.
I looked everywhere on the Internet and
found out that my condition is exactly
like HPV or genital warts. Almost every
side effect of HPV matched my description.
I don't know how you can say that
masturbation is safe. I have not checked
with the doctor yet but I am planning on
it during my next physical. I have come
in no contact with any other person
sexually. This HPV is very annoying and
depressing. My self-confidence has been
pretty much shot and I have been very
distant to many people in the past 2
years. I will come back and confirm that
this is HPV after my physical. I
repeat--I have come in no sexual contact
with another person.
P.S. I confirm Justin Toronto's statement
with my own life. In seventh grade it
measured 6inches. Now it's 5 and im a
freshman.
If anyone has any thoughts or questions
you can email me at johnjj
brown@yahoo.com

you cannot catch hpv from masturbating.
what reason have you to think that the
problem you have is caused by
masturbation? that's like me getting a
throat infection and saying 'jeez...! man,
i really should never have eaten bananas.'

All the posts in this thread should be
deleted...prozack and healthysex are the
only two correct in here.
masturbating will not stunt your growth,
nor will it cause such side effects. this
information given is ridiculous.
also, zjpronger, you're only 13. you're at
an age where you shouldn't even be
worrying about these things. for an
average male, we dont stop puberty til in
the early 20s - 21 to be exact.
masturbation is completely healthy. my
cousin's wife is a nurse and he's a
EMT...they both say there are no side
effects. And yes, cd998776, herballove.com
has clearly false statements.

Agreed. You do not have HPV from
masturbating. Stop trying to
self-diagnose and go to a doctor if you
think you have a medical issue. Many boys
your age have bumps on their scrotum.
They're usually hair follicles.
Masturbation is not harmful in any way. I
promise you that Justin is wrong. I can
provide many articles contradicting him if
you would like. Keep in mind that he gave
you nothing to go by other than his word.
If I tell you pigs can fly are going to
believe it? Sadly, you just can't believe
everything everyone tells you. There are
many good things about masturbation. For
males, it can even decrease your chances
of getting prostate cancer later in life!
