is masturbation good to mental healt?

Answer 1

It isn't harmful to mental health, but undue anxiety over it is, and hygienic precautions are a separate but significant issue. Medical guides to healthy and fairly fulfilling masturbation are available in many public libraries.

Also, one can obsess over anything, and continual self-stimulation and orgasm to the point of feeling drained and frustrated over declining pleasure in the act could signify unmet needs in other areas of life.

Persisting too long in avoiding real relationships with people and trying to fill the gap through masturbation might be unhealthy, though not deadly, which unprotected and irresponsible sex often is.

I respect young people who abstain from sex, as sexual interecourse even without pregnancy or venereal disease can damage the immature vagina and lead to risk of cervical cancer later in life. A case in point is my wife, who was raped as a small child and died of cervical cancer in her mid-forties. Not only small girls, but also girls in early adolescence, suffer greater risk of cancer from premature invasion of the vagina, even when they have consented. Safe,

Still, I am not nearly so sold on "sexual purity" to the point of puritanism as once was. I feel that, even without actual sex, sexual "sublimation" through company, kissing, play and flirting, are normal, and I would assert, necessary for adolescent boys and girls however "religious"! Medical authorities warn that condoms are better protection against pregnancy than disease, but better protection against disease than no protection at all.

Masturbation "toys" are available that may make it more enjoyable, but, If masturbating with or without these toys is not pleasant to you, physically or psychologically, if it is a "guilty secret", or if you are using fantasy partners as a substitute for real people in a real social life, then it is social inhibitions, not masturbation, that are harming you..

Answer 2

the more interesting question is: is mental health good for masturbation? I've noticed that whenever I'm in good mental health I have no almost no desire to masturbate. I can eventually get off, but it takes ages and it is highly unsatisfying with very little pleasure. But on those days when I'm waaay depressed and feeling ****** up and messed up in my head, I have the greatest orgasms. I'm not sure why that is. good luck.
