MASTURBATION MYTHS:
from http://www.jackinworld.com/library/myths.html

Chances are, of all the things you've heard about masturbation, most of them were absolutely false. For some reason, misinformation surrounds masturbation like virtually no other topic. How do you spot a masturbation myth? One simple method is to ask yourself if the statement is also true of sexual intercourse. When you're masturbating, your body only knows it's getting sexually stimulated; it doesn't know by what means. So, for instance, if the question is whether or not masturbation causes acne, think of it this way: If it did, intercourse would also cause acne. In fact, neither masturbation nor intercourse cause acne.

MYTH:
Masturbation causes hair to grow on your palms.
FACT:
How many people with hair on their palms have you seen?
MYTH:
Masturbation causes hair loss, chronic fatigue, and other problems.
FACT:
Internet scam artists have tried to invent a concept called "overmasturbation," insisting that you have to buy their expensive herbal pills in order to counteract the effect of masturbating more than a couple of times per week. But the pills have absolutely no effect — and masturbating once or twice a day will not make your hair fall out, or cause anything else they claim.
MYTH:
Masturbation is bad for your eyesight.
FACT:
Masturbation does not affect eyesight. This myth probably originated because boys often start having to wear glasses at about the same age they start masturbating.
MYTH:
Masturbation causes your penis to stop growing (or) to get bigger.
FACT:
Masturbation has no effect on penis size whatsoever.
MYTH:
Masturbation causes your testicles to shrink.
FACT:
Absolutely false! It is true that if you're highly aroused, your testicles become engorged with blood and may appear slightly larger and heavier, and that masturbating will make them revert to normal. But they will absolutely not be any smaller than after the last time you masturbated.
MYTH:
Masturbation causes acne.
FACT:
It doesn't cause acne. Like the eyesight myth, this is a case of two things that happen at the same time, even though one doesn't cause the other.
MYTH:
Masturbation causes sexually transmitted diseases.
FACT:
Hello? "Sexually transmitted" means from one person to another. You can't give yourself a sexually transmitted disease!
MYTH:
If you masturbate too much, you'll run out of semen and become sterile.
FACT:
Semen is a fully renewable resource. When you ejaculate semen, your body simply makes more — the same way your body makes more saliva after you spit.
MYTH:
People can tell whether you masturbate by how your penis looks.
FACT:
Masturbation does not change the appearance of your penis. (It does tend to cause an erection, but that usually goes away when you're finished.)

Answer 2

NO! Listen kid, you're gonna be okay! If you're having guilt or concerns about it, give it a rest, but you're not going to stunt your puberty. In fact, there are health benefits associated with this, lowered blood pressure and boosting your immune system for starters.
Not that I enjoy telling you this, because you're so young, but try and go for distance rather than speed now. It will help you a lot as you get older.

Answer 4

Masturbation does not affect your going through puberty in fact it during puberty most boys begin to experience the pleasures of masturbation. It will some thing you con tine to through our our life as most if not all males masturbate at one time or another.

Having gone through puberty number of years ago I still masturbate at least one-two times a day.

Greetings. My name's Edward LeBlanc, an M.D in the field of Sexual Health. (Both Men and Women's) .. First of all, as you've likely already suspected, there is NO SUCH THING AS "PENIS ENLARGEMENT." Period. Over the years, our practice here in Santa Monica, CA been flooded with countless inquiries regarding How To make the male-organ larger in size. The medical consensus on this issue is rather clear- it is not physically possible. As a general rule, your Genetics will ultimately predetermine the size of your penis. There have been many claims out there about "natural exercises" that can allegedly induce penile-growth. We find that these 'magic' exercises revolve around what is called the "kegal" muscle, located between the anus and scrotum. This is the muscle squeezed to stop the flow of urination, which, when exercised regularly, can also promote significant blood flow to your erections. The end result may be what appears to be size increase, but rather it is your own erection- Now fuller and firmer than it was before.

It is a Fact that over 76% of Men are unhappy with the size of their pẹnis. As a Sexual Health M.D- I can tẹll you it is also true that just as many men, often without realizing, are experiencing some form of erectile dysfunction. With it's varying degrees of severity, ED is a problem far more common than one might expect- and it does not discriminate by age. For our patients, we always recommend: https://alphamanpro.im .. AlphaManPro is a Male Enhancement that will enable your pẹnis to function at it's full potential, bringing erections to their maximum capacity every time. As such, over 80% of our patients who tried AlphaMan have reported added measurements in both length and girth. Our office has received consistently positive feedback on it's effects. If I'm not mistaken, I believe they still send out a Frẹe 30 Day Trial supply, only asking that you cover the cost of shipping.

No it can't stunt your growth(or make a negative effect on puberty)!

Do it all you want, it's healthy, natural and normal! Have fun, hun.

It's better to masturbate, than to go out and get some girl pregnant!

Answer 7

No,

Sexual development is unaffected by masturbation.

I don't know if you have heard of 'wet dreams'... these are dreams that result in ejaculation. They are common amongst developing males in particular.

Whether its through wet dreams or masturbation, the developing male body needs to eject semen periodically.

So don't stress - its normal.

And I was first taught that in a sexuality class in a Catholic High School...
