Hi,

I am a guy. daily i do masturbation watching porn movies and i get relaxed. Is masturbation good for health? Will i have any physical damage or any health issue?

Thanks
Dew

Hey Dew,

Masturbation is fine, healthy and extremely common among sexually mature men.
It is only a problem if it's affecting your ability to lead a full life, or getting in the way of going to work/school and becoming an addiction. But it's normal and healthy for men to masturbate several times daily.

**Gerry** · 8th Oct 2011, 03:09 PM

No, there should be no physical damage done to you by masturbating. Like Ben said, it's very healthy and common among young people, especially young men. It's fine. As long as it doesn't consume your whole life.

J Snow · 8th Oct 2011, 04:05 PM

Well I saw an article about a guy in Brazil who died from masturbating like 69 times in one day. So as long as you keep it the lower 60's you should be okay :P

if you couldn't tell, I was joking. jerking off is completely fine, and doesn't have negative effects as far as I know.

andrewshell11 · 9th Oct 2011, 01:33 PM

Masturbation is completely healthy. Many, many people do it around the world every day. It is safe, clean, and very common. Some people do it unbelievable amounts of the day. The only thing that could be a problem is if it causes interference in your everyday life.

I have heard a study where they said that regular ejaculations are good for preventing prostate cancer. So, your masturbation habit might just save your life.

gonecountry · 19th Oct 2011, 10:08 AM

I mean, if you don't masturbate, it's just gonna come out in a wet dream anyway so you might as well

Revan · 19th Oct 2011, 12:44 PM

It's often found as a good way to relieve stress. Sometimes even sinuses. Smetimes I find doing it causes my sinuses to clear up. So there're many benefits

That really did make me laugh out loud. Thanks.

jamjras · 24th Oct 2011, 01:28 PM

I hear it's supposed to reduce the risk of prostate cancer...

malachite · 24th Oct 2011, 02:10 PM

nope its normal.
it releases endorphins, relaxes you, and often helps ya sleep.

Only thing is you can hurt yourself by squeezing too hard.

BushHippie · 24th Oct 2011, 02:34 PM

WAIT MAN!! You might want to reconsider.

While it may be okay and normal, I found doing it daily made me docile and it took away from my edge. There is a lot being said about it being dopamine abuse and leading to a lack of motivation.

Think about it man. I'm a horny ****er but am going to cut that shit out. Yes it's made me hornier but I have a little more vitality. No more masturbating until 2012 for me, and if I'll be glad to report any changes if I remember any of this by then.

amadore · 24th Oct 2011, 05:30 PM

Masturbation improves circulation, relieves stress, strengthens your immune system, and just feels plain awesome. So long as it doesn't interfere with your daily life, go for it. I know a couple of athletes who refrain from masturbating and having sex a few days before games because it apparently interferes with their performance (athletic, not sexual). But yeah, masturbation is the safest way to get yourself off! Be gentle though, my buddy jerked himself off so often that he actually got blisters on his junk. Ouch.

Mister E · 30th Oct 2011, 03:45 PM

It certainly feels great and has a lot of health benefits. I, for one, masturbate usually at least once a day. Be careful though because my penis has a more curve to the right now, which seems to be getting worse over the years. I've read that it can be connected. Just alternate hands to avoid this.

NoName114 · 30th Oct 2011, 03:50 PM

I read a health article, masturbation helps the heart, and once a week before the age of 20 can prevent cancer and gets rid of stress

69 times in one day!

That's about three times an hour.

Actually, since he was probably asleep for the about 10 of those hours, that's over 5 times an hour. I'd die from that much, to say the least.

I dont think you'd even feel anything after the 10th time, except cramps.
