Masturbation is neither good nor bad, depending on how often you can afford to do so without affecting the functions of other organs. In one recently published study, ninety-five percent of men and eighty-seven percent of women have practiced masturbation occasionally. The study further indicated those men usually experience an orgasm when they masturbate and learn how to masturbate before engaging in any sexual intercourse. Another important finding showed males who masturbate frequently during adolescence continue this sexual behavior into their adulthood with the frequency increasing.
Is this addictive behavior of masturbation harmful to your body? To answer this question, one has to understand how ejaculating works. An orgasm or ejaculation discharges the bioelectric energy (bio-energy) stored by the parasympathetic nervous subsystem via the sympathetic nervous action. It is supposed to discharge the bio-energy stored in the sexual organs. This is why an orgasm is associated with a burst and subsequent release of tension. When the sexual organs are insufficiently charged, the sympathetic system will draw the energy from other organs, deactivating the associated organs and slowing down the response of the Central Nervous System (CNS) which is the commander of the endocrine and nervous function. So, frequent masturbation and consequent ejaculation will result in depleting other organs of bio-energy since the sexual organs can’t support the release of bio-energy being drawn from over-masturbation.
The association of masturbation with guilt and anxiety is partly due to the ignorance of the fact masturbation is not harmful. These negative sentiments are partly due to centuries of religious teachings that masturbating is sinful. In addition, many of us have received negative messages about masturbation from our parents or have even been punished when caught masturbating as children. The cumulative effect of these influences is usually confusion and guilt, which is often difficult to sort out. However, the only time masturbation can be ‘bad’ or harmful is when it becomes compulsive. Compulsive masturbation, like all other compulsive behaviors, is a sign of an emotional problem and needs to be addressed by a mental health specialist. Sex, of course, is extremely pleasurable and all things pleasurable are addictive. Over-masturbation can cause serious problems that aren’t limited to the bedroom. Frequent masturbation should be addressed.
So, contrary to ancient and popular beliefs, masturbation does not lead to unbridled lust, make you blind or deaf, give you the flu, drive you crazy, grow hair on your hand, make you stutter, or kill you. Rather, masturbation is a natural and harmless expression of sexuality in both men and women and a perfectly good way to experience sexual pleasure. In fact, some experts argue that masturbation improves sexual health by increasing an individual's understanding of his or her own body and of what is erotically pleasing, building self-confidence and fostering self-acceptance. This knowledge can then be carried forth to make for a more satisfying sexual relationship with one's partner, both through each partner's comfort with mutual masturbation and because of the ability to tell each other what is most pleasing. It is a good idea for a couple to discuss their attitudes about masturbation and to calm any insecurities a partner may have if the other should sometimes favor masturbation over sexual intercourse. In some relationships, masturbation may be mutually acceptable. Done alone or in the presence of a partner, the act can be pleasing and add to mutual intimacy if it is not experienced as a rejection. Like most behaviors, without proper communication, the act of masturbation can be a sign of anger, alienation, or displeasure with the way the relationship is progressing.
Overcoming society's negative stereotypes and one's personal feelings about masturbation can allow men and women the freedom to explore and experience their own sexuality in a private, satisfying manner. One word of caution: in keeping with the practices of safer sex, masturbation with a partner can be an enjoyable alternative to intercourse, as long as you avoid contact with your partner's semen or vaginal fluids, especially if you have any cuts or open sores. But, to reiterate, masturbation will become harmful if done excessively. Here is why:
Over-masturbation or over-ejaculation drains the body of Human Growth Hormones, DHEA, and testosterone, which are used for recharging the CNS and the parasympathetic (bio-energy restoring) function of each organ. As a result, the endocrine-associated organs slow down hormone production. The eyes become very sensitive to sunlight due to the deficiency of the bio-energy in the visual nerves (the erectile drug Viagr* (trademarked name not allowed here) produces the similar side effect - blue vision). The ears buzz due to the deficiency of bio-energy in the hearing nerves. The heart beats irregularly due to insufficient bio-energy in the auto-rhythmic and contractile fibers. Blood pressure becomes too high or too low due to insufficient levels of bio-energy in the kidneys to regulate the kidney renin-release mechanism. A higher volume of sweat and bouts of fatigue occur due to the insufficient bio-energy in the adrenal cortexes, which produce DHEA to pacify the sympathetic nervous function. The patient also experiences pains and spastic cramps in the muscles and joints (in particular, in the lower back area due to the lack of DHEA and testosterone to feed the local cells and neurons) and his waist becomes very weak.
However, optimal masturbation can help discharge the excessive bio-energy built-up in the organs and prevent the endocrine system from receiving a negative feedback signal from the CNS, slowing down its hormone production. Excessive testosterone in the bloodstream or excessive bio-energy in certain organs will relay negative signals to the brain to temporarily disable the hormone bursting ability during a sexual encounter.
If a man has never had sex or has yet to discharge for a long time (sometimes six to ten days are long enough), he will temporarily lose his ability to power his penis to an extreme. There is an endocrine cycle in the body, which allows you to discharge bio-energy/semen/sperm to promote the endocrine function and to recharge your body, instead of damaging your body.
You must figure out your endocrine cycle in order to understand when masturbation becomes damaging. The endocrine cycling depends on age, diet, or dietary supplements.
We are able to shorten the endocrine cycle -- that is, increase intercourse frequency and use sex to recharge the body at the same time -- for the middle aged and seniors with our supplements. However, we are discouraging young men to do so, because sex is very addictive. Hence, our supplements are formulated to rescue these unfortunate persons who have suffered from sexual dysfunction due to over-masturbation in their adolescence or youth. Sexually dysfunctional problems usually result from long-term practices of multiple ejaculation in one love session or in one day.
When the CNS bioelectricity runs low, the endocrine function can not produce sufficient HGH, DHEA, and testosterone to charge the parasympathetic sexual nerve, which is responsible for powering the erection and keeping the ejaculation control valve tight. This will result in a weak erection and premature ejaculation. In particular, during a sexual encounter, it can produce a burst of DHEA/testosterone and 5-alpha reductase enzyme to power the erection for a longer period to finish sexual intercourse. If a man can’t erect by any means, he is impotent. If he can erect with hand jobs or oral sex, he has a weak erection and will experience premature ejaculation. That is why porn stars in adult movies can never make the porn actresses achieve an orgasm with a weak erection.
It is apparent excessive masturbation/sex can damage a person’s body and produce negative side effects hazardous to your health. It is also clear masturbation is a double-edged sword. If done according to your endocrine cycle or if kept at a minimum, it can have pleasurable effects and positive results. However, if it is done excessively, it can be very damaging. So, the answer to whether or not masturbation is good or bad is simply -- yes and no.

Decreased libido... (sometimes very decreased libido...)
Soft (or not so hard) erections...
Fuzzy vision, buzzy ears...
Insomnia, sleep disorder... (I'm writing this at 4:00 am... :-)
Fatigueness, tiredness... (sometimes very tired)
Mood swings, irritability...
Low concentration, poor memory... (very poor concentration sometimes)... ADD type symptoms...
Hair loss (advanced - I think - for my age, even for a classic case like me, since I'm almost bald on the top of head)

masturbation is a normal bodily function. what concerns me is your inability to go to sleep without doing it. you may want to speak with your family doctor or a psychologist to ascertain the reason why you MUST masturbate daily in order to get to sleep.
not to alarm you, but, it could be an addiction.
i only say this because i've dealt with addictive behaviors all of my life. when your mind tells you you MUST do something, that means we can't control the need/urge. it is literally taken out of our hands. in order to find peace, comfort, and relaxation, the deed, whatever it may be, has to be done.

Absolutely normal. One of the benefits of masturbation is the endorphins that are released in the body which - chemically - are very similar to opiate drugs, except they're not BAD for you.
Many people choose to masturbate at bedtime.

Premature ejaculation is caused by specific things that you do before and during sex. Most of the time without even realizing it. Read here https://tr.im/K2DQ5
Premature ejaculation is not some gene you're born with, the result of your penis size or a part of your personality that you can never change.

Yes, Masturbation is not good, it will drive you to depression, and maybe alcohol and drugs.
Also it reduces the extent in which you enjoy sex, when you are adicted to Masturbation you do it everyday since there is no restriction.
Aren't you faced with health problems such as Roumatoid athritis?

If you feel comfortable with it; yes, if you don't, there's nothing wrong with it, but perhaps you could ask your GP to talk to a therapist or counsiller about what's on your mind and such.

If you go to

it will tell you everything you need to know.
I am interested to know why you have told us that you are straight. Whatever their sexual orientation, almost all men masturbate and the majority of women too.

It's bad to do that so you should contact a minister or priest or your family doctor cuz they can tell you about the bad circumstances and then you can just stop it immediately. My friend had the same kinda problem but he got cured straight away and now he's healthy too.
