Answer 1

Why Do People Masturbate?
In addition to feeling good, masturbation is a good way of relieving the sexual tension that can build up over time, especially for people without partners or whose partners are not willing or available for sex. Masturbation also is a safe sexual alternative for people who wish to avoid pregnancy and the dangers of sexually transmitted diseases. It also is necessary when a man must give a semen sample for infertility testing or for sperm donation. When sexual dysfunction is present in an adult, masturbation may be prescribed by a sex therapist to allow a person to experience an orgasm (often in women) or to delay its arrival (often in men).
Is Masturbation Normal?
While it once was regarded as a perversion and a sign of a mental problem, masturbation now is regarded as a normal, healthy sexual activity that is pleasant, fulfilling, acceptable and safe. It is a good way to experience sexual pleasure and can be done throughout life.
Masturbation is only considered a problem when it inhibits sexual activity with a partner, is done in public, or causes significant distress to the person. It may cause distress if it is done compulsively and/or interferes with daily life and activities.
Is Masturbation Harmful?
In general, the medical community considers masturbation to be a natural and harmless expression of sexuality for both men and women. It does not cause any physical injury or harm to the body, and can be performed in moderation throughout a person's lifetime as a part of normal sexual behavior. Some cultures and religions oppose the use of masturbation or even label it as sinful. This can lead to guilt or shame about the behavior.
Some experts suggest that masturbation can actually improve sexual health and relationships. By exploring your own body through masturbation, you can determine what is erotically pleasing to you and can share this with your partner. Some partners use mutual masturbation to discover techniques for a more satisfying sexual relationship and to add to their mutual intimacy.

Call it Frottage - it's humping a person or object. Yeah normal as a sunrise.... and other things rising in the morning.. If you get off and no one is harmed; enjoy man. I am glad you're getting off! As some of my friends said, clean up after.

Answer 3

You wouldnt get blue balls if you didnt do it so often, if you dod it daily and then stopped for a month you might, but if you slowly stop over a period of time, you wont get so much build up...

Why is it that some people can go forever after masturbating without having blue balls or a wet dream etc...

You guys are all wrong, masturbation is not what man was created for, it is not what sperm is for, it is a sin and god doesnt want you to do it, thats why you feel guilty, and look on these forums, a lot of people feel guilty when they do it. its bad!

Answer 4

normal or "norm" represents something that is considered common. masturbating is done by 99% of the population in the world, hence, it is considered normal.

most don't feel guilty.. only those who have fallen prey to religious pressures and brainwashing..

i do feel sad when i do it, because i've having such a great time and it would be better to be able to share sex with someone i love, but i don't have anyone in my life right now..

every time i ejaculate, i think about the babies i could have had with that load, but it was not to be. oh well. i'm still young, sort of.. lots of time left to get married and have a family..

Answer 5

Has it occurred to you that masturbation is not something that males only do? You might want to extend your reflection to both genders, and you will come to discover that masturbation has got to do with easing frustration and stress. Don't stop at men only, cuz' a few drops mean nothin'. Women also have to alleviate things when life is getting hard on them, but they'll seldom tell you what's about their privacy. And I'm not criticizing them for all that.
Now, I think you can forget about guilt. Those who speak the more about that are probably those who do it the less.

Answer 6

I dont feel guilty doing it.

most people who do it do it for pleasure. Sperm is used for reproducing, but that's not all it's there for. Why do people get orgasms? because they caused their pleasure to build up.

why do you eat your favourite foods? for health. but its not the only thing its there for. the reason its a favourite food is because it causes you pleasure.

Answer 7

Your parents taught you that it was something you don't talk about and you only talk about things that are acceptable to society, there fore we associate masturbations as bad because we think its not acceptable conversation. it is normal and in another 20 years it will not be a issue for open conversation with your children.

Answer 8

lol...here it is 2007 and people still think there's a condition called "blue balls"...lol

maybe if you took some "salt peter" you wouldn't get "blue balls" !

read some books and get off the Internet..

Answer 9

Uh, most people have no guilt over masturbating.

The male body is designed to ejaculate the sperm regularly and produce it constantly. You get "blue balls" if you build up too much sperm.

Why is it unnatural? You're making unnecessary assumptions.

Answer 10

If you feel the urge. You should not feel guilty. There all alternatives excersise, talking a cold shower, concentrating on other things. Masterbation should only be done when you have no other way to discourage the urge. Keep it in your pants, it's more fun with a girl.
