Answer 1

It's Normal, Healthy and Okay to Masturbate!

Masturbation can be defined as self-stimulation to cause sexual sensations. The use of the word masturbation usually suggests that the person is manipulating his or her genitals to the point of intense pleasure or orgasm. (Orgasm refers to a period of intense excitement in which genital muscles enter in to a series of highly-pleasurable contractions or movements).
While masturbation can involve another person, most of us think of it as a very private act. According to some health care providers masturbation allows a healthy way to express & explore your sexuality and to release sexual tension without all the associated risks of sexual intercourse. Health professionals generally agree that this private touching is a natural, normal mode of self-exploration and sexual expression. Unfortunately, after the excitement of the moment has passed, many people find themselves filled with guilty and or shame.

Why all this guilt and shame? Actually, from American History.

A little bit of American History:
Our attitudes about masturbation have deep roots for sure. Around the turn-of-the-century, some adults were so against masturbation that they forced their daughters to wear gloves made of a steel-wool-like material (like Brillo pads) at night and to put a powder on their genitals that made them painful to touch. They made their sons wear metal chastity belts at night that made it painful to have an erection. During the 1820s male masturbation was prevented by piecing the foreskin with a wire and soldering the ends together. Boys and girls were discouraged from masturbation by the threat of blindness, madness and illness. Of course, all of these are not true.

Of course, the subject of masturbation was taboo years before the United States was created. All kinds of chastity belts and other devices were used to prevent masturbation, probably as far back in history as you can go. This will vary from culture to culture.

The Truth?
Most surveys suggest that approximately 94% of teenage males "admitted" that they masturbated and about 70% of teen females "admitted" to this also. It’s always hard to establish absolute truth in any survey on sexuality and sexual behavior, since they are influenced so much by what people think is "normal". It is important to note the word "admitted" in the results of these surveys. Doesn't that word imply something shameful about the act of masturbating? We think so. This leads us to believe that we are still suffering from the residual Victorian morals when boys and girls were discouraged from masturbating.

Teaching Masturbation -- you asked? Yes, Believe it or Not!

In the 1970's and 1980's, a woman named Betty Dodson,Ph.D., achieved much fame from her approach to masturbation. She actually held classes for women to teach them how to masturbate. She thought that in order for women to overcome certain degrees of repression that she believed were instilled by the church, women needed to learn how to "celebrate" their bodies. She made the point that masturbation needed to be celebrated, and not allowed to create guilt. She admitted that overcoming guilt was very difficult -- for men & women, especially when the guilt was instilled by the voice of their mothers at an early age. Mother's told children not to touch themselves "down there" and wow, what an embarrassment if the child did that in public!

For many people the consequence of our mothers' or fathers' difficulty with our innocent sexuality when we were toddlers and infants may be the reason that the experience and enjoyment of our own bodies is taken away from us, or we are still allowed (made) to feel ashamed in some way when we feel pleasure from exploring our own bodies.

Even More Taboo...
In 1994 Dr. Jocelyn Elders - the first woman appointed to the position of U.S. Surgeon General lost her job as Surgeon General because she dared to say that masturbation should actually be taught in schools. We think her mistake was when she said, "It's practicing for sex" . She never implied that a method of masturbation be taught... or did she?

Masturbation Myths -- There Are Lots More of Course.

"Masturbation isn't "real sex" and only losers masturbate."
Just not true. According to some sexuality experts people who masturbate tend to function better sexually when with a partner since they know their own body and have fulfilled sexual expression.

If you masturbate you will go blind or bald or get acne or hair on your hands -- or lots of other anomalies. None of these have any basis in truth.

People in relationships or married don't masturbate.
Wrong again. (Many couples masturbate mutually).

"Masturbation will stunt your growth"
Nice try, but wrong again.

“If you masturbate you'll never be able to have children”
I get this question as an e-mail often, this is just not true, who started this myth? If that was true none of us would be on this planet.

“Can masturbation hurt me?
As the myths of the effects of masturbation have developed over the past thousands of years, some of the myths have noted that masturbation will cause harm while others have claimed positive effects. For example, it has been stated again and again that manipulating the penis will stimulate it to grow. This claim comes from the idea that touching one’s genitals causes pleasure and may result in the penis developing an erection, thus enlarging! When the male becomes sexually stimulated, engorgement of the penis with blood, or an erection , is a normal result. However, the erection is not a permanent event (fortunately!) and eventually the penis will return to its "normal" state, with or without an ejaculation (release of fluid from the genitals through the penis). The hope of some is that continued masturbation will cause the penis to become larger than it otherwise would be. Some have wondered if the penis could be stimulated to become its normal adult size sooner if masturbation occurs.
The answer is no in both cases! The size of your penis is determined by factors inherited from your parents-much like various other traits you inherit from your family. When you become a teenager and various hormones are increasing in your body-your body then changes from a child’s body to an adult’s body-over several years. Your penis will develop into its adult size as you go from a young teenager to an older one. The size will not be affected by masturbation. If you develop an erection, the penis will get larger for a period of time, and then return to its normal non-erect (flaccid) state. However, though you cannot affect its size, you can injure your penis by very rough manipulation and/or by using dangerous instruments as part of the masturbation act.

I heard if you masturbate a lot, you can use up all of your sperm. Is this true?

This is another myth which, though might make some sense to some, is not true! When you use the term masturbation, you usually imply that orgasm occurs--in the case of the male, that means ejaculation and release of sperm as well as other genital fluids. Males often fear that they only have a very limited amount of sperm and that it is easily used up, making them less of a man. It is also another example of myths that have developed indicating a negative result from masturbation. Over the past centuries, doctors and various members of society were so convinced and worried that masturbation was harmful, that doctors developed various "treatments" for those who masturbated. These treatments included removing the testicles, placing the person’s penis in a ring with spikes in the center to cause terrible pain during erection, and other very harmful measures.


Well, it is important to point out that masturbation is a normal aspect of one’s sexual behavior and does not harm you unless you do it to the exclusion of other behavior and/or injure yourself because you are too rough. Most males have plenty of sperm and masturbation (with ejaculation) will not cause a decrease in their sperm. If someone is touching their genitals a lot, it may be because of medical problems, such as having certain infections or a severe itch for some reason. This is sometimes found in young children who touch themselves a lot because of a constant genital discomfort. But, do not worry that masturbation will affect your sperm count or your ability to someday have children. It will not!

None of these myths are true. And while there will always be those who make religious or moral arguments against masturbation -- if you are Catholic you may have been taught that it is “sinful to spill seed” or masturbation is “seed wasted”. So, that is something you will have to decide for yourself. When done in moderation, masturbation seems to be a common, "normal", healthy way to get sexual satisfaction. It is one that is safe and does NOT run the risks of pregnancy, STDs or incompatible sexual preferences. But, use good sense while masturbating. If you are sore from spending TOO much time with yourself -- stop and let your body heal. Getting irritated skin is not uncommon, so don't panic and use plenty of water soluble lubrication next time. (Like Astroglide ® or Wet ®). If irritation persists see your health care provider. Remember, lubrication! Especially you guys (or gals using a vibrator).

If you are spending a lot of your time masturbating and it is interfering with your school work, your job, or the rest of your life, then you might want to stop and think about why you are doing it so much. A person can become obsessed with anything.

Are there benefits to masturbation?
Yes. Masturbation can help relieve stress and:
Relieve menstrual cramps
Help for insomnia (i.e. when a person is having trouble falling asleep)
Stimulate the immune system to help build up resistance to common infections.
Release mood elevating hormones
Reduce embarrassing spontaneous erections for teen males
Reduce the number of unwanted wet dreams for young men

Answer 2

At that age you do not know that it is masturbation. You just discovered something new about your body and realized that rubbing your penis felt good, so you just kept doing it. At that age it is not a sexual thing, but just something that feels good.

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 3

I seriously doubt that masturbation has anything to do with your perceived string of failures. I began masturbating when I was 4 and still do. The only time masturbation is a problem is when it causes irritation to the skin of the genitals, or if you're so compulsive it's all you can do, or if you do it in public. Your string of failures is more likely to have something to do with ADHD, which is very common. Good luck!

Answer 4

Try a little vinegar, it seems to help with many things. Also sometimes peanut butter. Metallic taste can sometimes be related to pregnancy, although I'm not sure why. Hope this helped. Good Luck.

Making dietary changes is your first line of defense in treating hypothyroidism. Learn here https://tr.im/dUdI2

Many people with hypothyroidism experience crippling fatigue and brain fog, which prompts reaching for non-nutritional forms of energy like sugar and caffeine. I’ve dubbed these rascals the terrible twosome, as they can burn out your thyroid (and destabilize blood sugar).

1. Just say no to the dietary bungee cord. Greatly reduce or eliminate caffeine and sugar, including refined carbohydrates like flour, which the body treats like sugar. Make grain-based carbohydrates lesser of a focus, eating non-starchy vegetables to your heart’s content.

2. Up the protein. Protein transports thyroid hormone to all your tissues and enjoying it at each meal can help normalize thyroid function. Proteins include nuts and nut butters; quinoa; hormone- and antibiotic-free animal products (organic, grass-fed meats, eggs, and sustainably-farmed fish); and legumes.

children do masturbate.

you don't need to get rid of masturbation. learn to do it in a healthy and safe way at home and in private.

your educational failures have more to do with your anxiety in certain learning experiences. Practice studying for gradually longer and longer periods of time to remove that anxiety.

You have to much time on your hands if thats your biggest worry. I can see waking up and jerking it, but to be worried about it. You need some hobbies.
