Answer 2

"Health and psychological effects
It is held in many mental health circles that masturbation can relieve depression and lead to a higher sense of self-worth (Hurlbert & Whittaker, 1991). Masturbation can also be particularly useful in relationships where one partner wants more sex than the other — in which case masturbation provides a balancing effect and thus a more harmonious relationship.

On July 16, 2003, an Australian research team led by Graham Giles of The Cancer Council published a medical study [4] which concluded that frequent masturbation by males may help prevent the development of prostate cancer. The study also indicated that this would be more helpful than ejaculation through sexual intercourse because intercourse can transmit diseases that may increase the risk of cancer instead.

A study by Stuart Brody, a professor and medical psychology consultant, showed that a test group which only had intercourse had, as a whole, lower blood pressure in stressful situations than those who had intercourse but also had masturbated for one or more days (Brody, 2006).

Masturbation involving both a man and a woman can result in pregnancy only if semen contacts the vulva. Any masturbation with a partner can theoretically result in transmission of sexually transmitted disease by contact with bodily fluids, and such contact should be avoided with any partner whose disease status is uncertain. Objects inserted into the vagina or anus should be clean and of a kind that will not scratch or break. Care should be taken not to fully insert anything into the anus—any object used should have a flared or flanged base; otherwise retrieval can require a visit to the emergency room. Most modern dildos and anal plugs are designed with this feature.

A man whose penis has suffered "an invasive procedure, blunt trauma or injury during intercourse"[5] may suffer later in life from Peyronie's disease. There is the rare event of penile fracture[6] which may occur. Phimosis is "a contracted foreskin (that) may cause trouble by hurting when an attempt is made to pull the foreskin back"[7]. In these cases, overly aggressive manipulation of the penis can be problematic.

Compulsive masturbation can be part of a sexual addiction syndrome.[8]

[edit]
Possible issues with prone masturbation ("Traumatic masturbatory syndrome")
Lawrence I. Sank (1998) speculated that the habit of masturbating prone (i.e. lying face downward) was responsible for serious sexual problems, including anorgasmia and erectile dysfunction, as suffered by four men he examined. He coined the term traumatic masturbatory syndrome to describe the effect.

As of 2006 there has been no follow-up research and the idea that prone masturbation causes male sexual dysfunction is not familiar or widely-held within the medical community, and thus should not be credited as such until further research.

Some sources, however, continue to give credence to the idea. One sex therapist (Margolies, 1994) has condemned masturbation by rubbing against a pillow or mattress and Lipsith et al (2003) suggest that masturbation could play a part in male psychogenic sexual dysfunction (MPSD), citing Sank as their authority."

Answer 3

It differs from person to person. On the whole, it is unnatural and causes lots of disturbances in sex life at a later part of ones life. The pressure given to penis is bad for veins to become sluggish. The excess of masturbation is also a cause of erectile dysfunction in ones life.

Answer 4

I have no problem with it, it is quite healthy in lot of situations, it relieves pressure or sexual tension, allows children and adolescents to explore their own bodies and all in all can be quite alot of fun when shared with a mutual partner.....anyone who feels that it is dirty and degrading in this day and age needs to get their heads out of the previous centuries, and into the modern day.

It is something natural that every single person start going through at specific age. It like the life cycle…
