I searched the internet lookin for the harms of masturbation the half said its very useful and the other ?

Question

the other said its killer and very harmful...and I guess its harmful too...that waht I feel ...I feel weak ..and my friends too..Im 16 ..and very confused ...any help?

Answer 1

Well, you're smart enough to actually research the questions you have so nice job. Make sure you seperate the facts from the opinions. If someone can't back up what they state with references, then it's their opinion. I don't know of any physical harm that can come from it. Some people could experience mental harm but that would probably occur over a long period of time and it would certainly depend on the actual person. In the end you'll end up making the final decision. Good luck!

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.)

How often does the average male masturbate?
It depends on a lot of factors, the most important being age. For an 18-year-old male, a rough average is once a day or so. This is slightly higher for younger teenagers — maybe 10 or 12 times a week, and slightly lower for older people. You might be surprised by how often adult men masturbate — even happily married men.

I think I'm addicted to masturbation. Is that possible?
It is, although many, many people think they're addicted when they're really just doing what comes naturally. For more on this topic, read the article Is Masturbation Addictive?(http://www.jackinworld.com/library/articles/addict.html).

How can I masturbate less often, or quit altogether?
It's tough; it takes a lot of will power. It can be done, especially if you're driven by very strong religious feelings. However, JackinWorld's position is that it's not worth it. We think you should enjoy the harmless pleasures your body can provide.

Answer 3

It isn't harmful. That's rediculous! On contrary, it is very healthy for you; getting to learn your body. You feel tired and weak, because it takes a lot of energy, which is completely normal. So sit back and enjoy

Answer 4

Talk to your father, or if he is not active in your life, then ask your mom who the best male person in your family to talk with would be. A good alternative is your pediatrician or family doctor. Assuming you're male from the way you wrote the post.

That is really who you should be talking to instead of trying to get information on the net, which could be totally off base.

Answer 5

Masturbation is actually good for you. For males it helps your prostate. Most places that say it is bad use rumours to tell you it is. It can however lower your sperm count if you over do it...which is only because you cannot produce enough to cover how much is leaving your system if you over do it. Doing it less times of course will cause your testies to produce enough again and raise the count back up.

Answer 6

As far as I know, it is not harmful if not taking to an extreme. The only real harm may be a moral issue.

Answer 7

There is no harm in Masturbation, just don't let it become habit forming where it interferes with your daily living.

Answer 8

There is nothing wrong with masterbation, just make sure your hands are clean before you do it. You get weak because it takes alot out of you which is normal. Don't freak out, enjoy

Answer 9

Nothing wrong with it. Should not make you weak, at least not for long term, a good climax or orgasm can make you weak, but you should recover quickly, in a few minutes. Enjoy yourself.

Answer 10
