READ THIS :- Masturbation. Most people do it — yet so many people worry about doing it! That's because there are a lot of myths out there that masturbation is dirty, dangerous, or something to be embarrassed about doing. But the truth is, masturbation is safe and healthy, and it's here to stay. People of all ages do it. Guys do it, and girls do it too. Single people and people in relationships do it. Some people do it a few times a day, and some do it a few times a year. Let's get to the bottom of some of the masturbation myths that make people so anxious about being caught red-handed.
Myth #1: Masturbation is unhealthy.
Maybe you've heard that masturbation makes you blind or damages your sex organs. This couldn't be further from the truth. Masturbation is not physically harmful in any way. In fact, it has a number of physical and mental health benefits — here are just a few:
Masturbation releases stress and physical tension. Many people masturbate to relax, and it can help some people fall asleep.
Orgasms — whether they're from masturbation or sex play with a partner — can act as a natural painkiller. One study from 2001 found that orgasm can ease migraines faster than medication. Some women masturbate to relieve menstrual cramps. Research has also shown that orgasms may even prevent endometriosis, a disease of the uterine lining.
One recent study found that frequent ejaculation from masturbating may reduce a man's chances of developing prostate cancer.
Plus, masturbation is the ultimate form of safer sex — there is no risk of pregnancy or infection.
Myth #2: Only people who can't "get any" masturbate.
Here's an interesting fact — people who have regular sex partners actually masturbate more often than those who don't. Some people are concerned when they find out their partners masturbate — they wonder, "Why would someone masturbate when they could just have sex? Does this mean that my partner isn't attracted to me?" But many people — both in relationships and single — masturbate when their partners are unavailable. Some use masturbation as a kind of "dress rehearsal," to learn more about what they find pleasurable. People can learn about their bodies through masturbating, and this can help them communicate better with their partners about what they enjoy sexually.
Myth #3: Girls don't masturbate.
Some people think that it's OK for guys to masturbate and have sex, but that girls shouldn't. Unfortunately, our society is often more comfortable with men expressing their sexuality than with women, so many girls are taught not to masturbate — or not to admit to doing it. But the truth is, girls and women do masturbate, and there's no reason they shouldn't. In fact, one study showed that women who masturbate have higher self-esteem than those who don't.
Myth #4: It's bad to masturbate every day.
Some people masturbate every day — or even more than once a day. That's fine. So is there such a thing as "too much" masturbation? According to counselors, it's only when masturbation gets in the way of daily activities — like going to school or work, or meeting friends — that it would be considered "too much." And not many people have that problem. Also, some people worry that masturbating frequently will affect a girl's fertility or a guy's ability to produce sperm. It doesn't. A guy may find that he has less volume of semen if he ejaculates frequently, and his semen may contain less sperm. But that doesn't mean that his sperm count will be reduced in the future. The testicles produce and store sperm beginning at puberty, and sperm production continues through most of adult life.
So forget those rumors of hairy palms and shrinking penises. Masturbation is a safe and healthy way to relieve sexual tension, explore our sexuality, and discover what feels good. Let's give ourselves a hand — or two!

That answers merits a YES and a NO.
Here's why it's it IS healthy.
When a man's strong sexual urge is not satisfied, even if it's temporarily, it can be extremely distracting and frustating.Maturbation and ejaculation helps ease the stress out of the body and the muscles. once every 3-4 days would be considered healthy.
Here's why it's NOT healthy.
A mans mental state is highly effected by his physical one.If you're sporting an erection and cant do "anything" to be rid of it except masturbate, then it's a good idea to do it.Though if it's become a constant habit where you need to do it everyday, 1-2 times then its not healthy because it:
1-effects your sperm count.The more times you masturbate in a day without enough of a break of a few days, the higher the probability of you having a low sperm count.
2-Some research has shown that men who masturbate more frequently then average can lead to them being "impotent" [not being able to get an erection]when they get older.
3-Masturbating tends to leave the body lethargic, as blood is circulating basically in one area.
Masturbation IS healthy if you do it right.
If you're addicted to it, then there are ways to get rid of the need.
Like working out everyday, your body is able to release stress, and tends to be tired from the workout, you wont feel the need to masturbate.
Dont be in denial, when you have a strong sexual urge and know you cant satisfy it any other way, then excuse yourself and masturbate.Just don't make it a habit.
Reduce the amount of porn you watch in week, or better, increase it ten folds, until you tire of it.And trust me.Everybody eventually tires of porn.how much p usyy can you watch, even if you dont believe me, just try it.
Masturbation when done less frequently is also more "Enjoyable"
So good luck feller.
Hope this was helpful to you.

Very good answer bisexualmale! I am a woman in a commited relationship with a very healthy sex life and my man satisfies me to the fullest but both he and I still masturbate. I also masturbate when my menstrual cramps get very painful as it really does ease the pressure but I have not tried it for my migraines...

This question is asked every five minutes.
Everyone, men and women, masturbate. If it were not a healthy activity, the population would have died out centuries ago.

In my adolescents, masturbation grew to become into fraught with shame and guilt. The prepared religions claimed we'd burn for it!!!

If people inform you they do no longer masturbate, they're mendacity or demise. to grant you some innovations approximately masturbation so which you do no longer ought to stay with whispered memories and 0.5 truths: masturbation won't provide you furry palms, masturbation won't make you circulate blind, masturbation isn't a one way cost ticket to hell, masturbation won't smash your opportunities of fathering wholesome babies later in existence, (I even have 4 sons) you may't run out of your lifetime grant as your physique produces it over your total existence,.....you may run out of your on a regular basis grant by skill of masturbating a number of situations, yet a competent nights sleep will fix that up. Masturbation is a private, inner maximum subject, and no person desires to stroll in on you. pick a quiet time and place, loosen up, and luxuriate in this wholesome, organic, ceremony of passage into person existence. With each and all the crime in the international, the gods have larger fish to fry than a youthful guy pleasuring himself. sturdy success with this. Mithras

In as long as you are not masturbating excessively, then it is a healthy and normal part of sexual life.

Absolutely. When you ejaculate or orgasm, the body releases endorphins, which are beneficial chemicals. People do it to relieve stress and to help them sleep, too.
