how bad is masturbation?

Question

hey well i used to masturbate when i was 17 i think iam now 26 and still doing day and day or every day is that normal or how can i given up thanks

Answer 1

Frequent masturbation and ejaculation stimulate acetylcholine/parasympathetic nervous functions excessively, resulting in the over production of sex hormones and neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, dopamine and serotonin. Abundant and unusually amount of these hormones and neurotransmitters can cause the brain and adrenal glands to perform excessive dopamine-norepinephrine-epinephrine conversion and turn the brain and body functions to be extremely sympathetic. In other words, there is a big change of body chemistry when one excessively pratices masturbation.



Note: Masturbation is a healthy sexual behavior. Like other behaviors, when over practiced or addicted it can lead to both psychological and physiological imbalances.

The side effects of such changes to the body include:
Fatigue. Feeling tired all the time
Lower back pain
Stress / Anxiety
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

If above symptoms are experienced, you need to restore the balance of brain's acetylcholine / parasympathetic ratio, reduces the level of sex hormones in the body, and sedates sympathetic nervous function, or the symptoms would become worse.

Here are steps you can take on top of reducing masturbation frequency:

1. Reduce the intake of hormone-polluted beef and dairy products. Red meat traps too much hormone-polluted blood. Instead, bring more seafood and poultry into your diet.

2. Eat more seeds, nuts, and soybeans, which contain L-arginine (the natural growth-hormone agents) and Isoflavones (the plant estrogen for anti-cancers and tumor hormones and the liver function enhancers), to help cool down the prostate. Shrinking your prostate will have wonderful effects on your body and can aid in stopping a hair loss pattern.

3. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits for more anti-cancerous and tumor plant hormones and anti-oxidants/vitamins/minerals. You can even try taking a multi-vitamin/mineral to get the antioxidant group into your dietary habits. Notable vitamins are C, E, A, and notable herbs that promote blood circulation are ginseng and ginkgo biloba.

4. Participate in more outdoor activities to communicate with nature and exercise more to consume testosterone in the muscles of the body, rather than burn it into DHT. Try jogging or even taking a brisk walk. Any kind of physical activity is much better for your body than sitting around in front of a TV, especially if you don’t normally move around much.

Answer 2

You think you are 26! That must be some good sh t you smoke. Masturbating everyday is very normal. Why would you ever want to give it up? Even when guys get married they should still masturbate, but not as much cause the wife is not gonna want to have sex everytime he wants to. You only live one life and everything that lives eventually dies, so enjoy yourself while you can. Why deprive yourself of self pleasure.

Answer 3

You will get worn out, and maybe some chafing – but nothing else bad will come of this.

Now, if you are doing this compulsively – like you feel anxious if you don’t do it, or if you are doing this as a means of managing your anxiety, or if it you are bothered by how much you are doing this but you still can’t seem to stop yourself and not simply as a means to experience pleasure then you may have a problem – but as long as sex has not become a coping strategy – a means of decreasing anxiety and dealing with the world – then you are good.

Answer 4

It normal to be doing that. If anything find a girlfriend. All men masturbate though, even after getting married they will still masturbate.

Answer 5

Sounds normal to me. No problem with continuing.

I wouldn't seek a girlfriend as others suggest to remedy. Get a girlfriend because you want a female friend and possible life partner.

Answer 6

It's not bad unless you're doing it wrong. Why would you want to give it up? What's next? Breathing? It's perfectly healthy! Don't beat yourself up over it!

Answer 7

Get a girl.

Answer 8

stop doing it. get a girlfriend!
