Masturbation Myths -- There Are Lots More of Course.
"Masturbation isn't "real sex" and only losers masturbate."
Just not true. According to some sexuality experts people who masturbate tend to function better sexually when with a partner since they know their own body and have fulfilled sexual expression.
If you masturbate you will go blind or bald or get acne or hair on your hands -- or lots of other anomalies. None of these have any basis in truth.
People in relationships or married don't masturbate.
Wrong again. (Many couples masturbate mutually).
"Masturbation will stunt your growth"
Nice try, but wrong again.
“If you masturbate you'll never be able to have children”
I get this question as an e-mail often, this is just not true, who started this myth? If that was true none of us would be on this planet.
“Can masturbation hurt me?”
None of these myths are true. And while there will always be those who make religious or moral arguments against masturbation -- if you are Catholic you may have been taught that it is “sinful to spill seed” or masturbation is “seed wasted”. So, that is something you will have to decide for yourself. When done in moderation, masturbation seems to be a common, "normal", healthy way to get sexual satisfaction. It is one that is safe and does NOT run the risks of pregnancy, STDs or incompatible sexual preferences. But, use good sense while masturbating. If you are sore from spending TOO much time with yourself -- stop and let your body heal. Getting irritated skin is not uncommon, so don't panic and use plenty of water soluble lubrication next time. (Like Astroglide ® or Wet ®). If irritation persists see your health care provider. Remember, lubrication! Especially you guys (or gals using a vibrator).
If you are spending a lot of your time masturbating and it is interfering with your school work, your job, or the rest of your life, then you might want to stop and think about why you are doing it so much. A person can become obsessed with anything.

Well I am 66 years old, have been jacking off regularly since before puberty and I still have excellent eyesight. I didn't need glasses until I was well into my 50's and that's mainly for reading. I'm not blind or crazy either so I would say the answer to your question is a very strong NO! (Yeah I'm still doing it!)

No it doesn't so just enjoy yourself.
I have been doing it up to 5 times a day since i was 7 years old I'm now in my late 30's and I'm still in great shape and my eyesight is still the same.
They only say those things so you don't abuse your self when you are young.
If it gets erect than its your body telling you that it needs to be released.

If that was true I would be blind now...I am 50 years old and still have a go at it a couple of times a week. That is an old tale designed to scare children. It is healthy to rub one off. Get to it.
