What are the side effects of masturbation from medical point of view?

Answer 1

There are no harmful side effects of masturbation. Medical science has debunked many myths formally associated with masturbation, such as hair growing on the palms, insanity, or that masturbation will drain excessive energy from the body.

Some people report feeling guilty about masturbating. Negative feelings associated with any behavior can threaten a person’s health and well being.

The American medical community pronounced masturbation as normal in the 1972 publication Human Sexuality.

WHY DO PEOPLE MASTURBATE?
To experience pleasure
To relieve tension (sexual tension or general tension)
To relieve stress
To engage in sex when a partner is unavailable or does not want to have sex
To relax
To learn about what feels good to them and how they like to be stimulated or pleasured

MYTHS:
The following are myths relating to masturbation that are unfounded in medical and social science.
Only people, who cannot find sexual partners; or who are socially inadequate masturbate.
Masturbation leads to physical problems such as mental illness and growing hair on your palms.
Masturbation “ruins” a person for partner sex.
Men will run out of semen or sperm if they masturbate excessively.
Others, including medical doctors and sexual partners, will be able to tell if you masturbate.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF MASTURBATION:
A number of studies have proven the benefits of self-pleasuring to mental, social and physical health.

Masturbation alleviates premenstrual tension for many women.

Masturbation provides a healthy sexual outlet for people who choose to abstain from sex with partners or who do not currently have available sexual partners.

Masturbation can be a route to safer sex, to help prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, including HIV.

Masturbation allows for sexual pleasuring for those who are not ready to engage in vaginal, anal or oral sex.

Increases blood flow to the genital region, which can help overall sexual functioning.

Masturbation can induce sleep.

Masturbation allows people to become familiar and comfortable with their body.

Masturbation is often suggested as a therapeutic technique for overcoming sexual dysfunction.

For women, it can help them learn how to achieve orgasm.

For men, it can help them increase ejaculatory control and manage rapid or delayed ejaculation.

Masturbation can help alleviate stress.

CAN A PERSON BECOME ADDICTED OR MASTURBATE TOO MUCH?
People often wonder about the normal amount of masturbation. Each person must decide for himself or herself how much to masturbate. Professionals agree that there are no physical or mental implications for frequent masturbation, unless it is symptomatic of an obsessive/compulsive disorder (OCD). Symptoms of OCD are repeatedly performing a behavior to the extent that it interferes with daily functioning, professional responsibilities, or personal relationships.

Behaviors that are performed to reduce stress or alleviate tension, including masturbation, are not considered symptomatic of a disorder unless they interfere with a person’s daily personal or professional life or hinder a person from fulfilling their responsibilities and commitments



EFFECTS OF OVER-MASTURBATION:
http://www.4-men.org/overmasturbation.html
Frequent masturbation and ejaculation stimulate acetylcholine/parasympathetic nervous functions. Excessive stimulation can result in over production of sex hormones and neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, dopamine and serotonin.

Abundant and unusually large 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 masturbates.

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

Side-effects of Masturbation
Other than an immediate need for a towel or tissue, the effects of masturbation upon the male body were:
Fatigue. Feeling tired all the time
Lower back pain
Thinning hair / Hair Loss
Soft / Weak Erections
Premature Ejaculation
Eye floaters or fuzzy vision
Groin / Testicular Pain
Pain or cramp in the pelvic cavity or/and tail bone

When to say when
How much is too much masturbation (and sex for that matter)? That depends but it's suggested men keep their ejaculation frequency down to 2-3 times a week. However, sexual activity can be experienced more often if men learn how to orgasm without ejaculation. Doing so can actually store bioenergy into your system and make your penis firmer, your erections last longer, and your ejaculate volume bigger.

Over masturbation participants experience problems with concentration and memory. This is a dangerous side effect of over masturbation and signals that the brain is being over drained of acetycholine. Over masturbation drains motor neurons and neuro-muscular endings of acetycholine, which is eventually replaced. Over masturbation can lead to absentmindedness, memory loss, lack of concentration, and eye floaters. To fight these symptoms, the chemical levels in your body needs to be balanced.

Answer 8

Let's get down to the simple composition of male sperm.  Within 1 teaspoon there are: 20 calories, 6 mg of total fat, 11 mg of carbs, 3 mg of cholesterol, and (my personal favorite) 150 mg of protein. Along with these nutrition values, there are on average 200 to 500 million sperm within this teaspoon.  That's a lot of little soldiers!  However, that amount of sperm is only 10% of semen, the rest is comprised of enzymes, vitamin C, calcium  proteins, sodium, zinc, citric acid, and fructose sugar... And every other limp dick science expert says it's healthy to lot go all these vital nutrients!
