Answer 2

The myths that masturbation leads to blindness, or causes you to grow hair on the palms of your hands, or will cause someone to be impotent later in life, or leads to mental illness, have all been debunked many times; but they seem to have a life of their own and crop up again and again. Common themes from women are that masturbating will cause them to no longer be considered a virgin, in societies where virginity is still highly prized, or that it will somehow make them infertile. I remember when I was in high school the entire track team vowed to stop masturbating before our big meet, in the belief that it would somehow sap our strength. Masturbation causes none of these things.

I suppose that these worries stem from the almost universal guilt that people seem to feel about masturbating — guilt that makes it a secretive practice, that makes them vow to stop doing it, and that is then multiplied when they start doing it again. Masturbating is perceived to be a weakness, something that a really strong person can and should stop doing.

In fact masturbating has been an almost universal practice since history has been recorded. Probably 90 percent of men have masturbated at some time (and many would say the other 10 percent are lying); and it is also very common among women, especially since women’s liberation began to enable women to know and appreciate their bodies.

With so many people doing it, medical science would certainly have had a lot of opportunity to determine if the practice causes any medical problems, and in fact, no blindness, misshapen penises, infertility, mental illness or other problems large or small have ever been attributed to masturbation. Many researchers, including Kinsey, reported on people who masturbated 4 times a day or so for years, and suffered from no diseases as a result. Many married men and women masturbate, not because they don’t have satisfactory sex with their partners, but because they occasionally like the alternative of giving themselves pleasure. And that’s the whole point — masturbating is one of the few pleasurable things in life that we can do almost anytime and anywhere, as often as we want, without gaining weight, getting lung cancer, being arrested or causing ourselves to become ill. There is no down side, if one can avoid that guilt so many people have.

If you are someone who masturbates, finds it pleasurable and wants to continue, pay no attention to TV show jokes about it causing blindness, or rumors of other terrible things that it can bring on. If you are a parent worrying about whether your child masturbates, start worrying if he or she doesn’t. It is common and normal for children to find pleasure in fondling themselves, and this will naturally evolve into masturbating when they are mature enough. All of our body parts perform better if used or exercised, and our sexual functions are no different. Many urologists believe that regular sexual activity is beneficial for the prostate gland, and it doesn’t matter if that is activity with a partner, or solo.

Answer 3

A man had an eye exam, during the course of which the optometrist told him:
"You really must stop masturbating. It's vital."
"Why? Am I going blind?" asked the patient, anxiously.
"No, but you're seriously freaking out the other people in the waiting room."

Don't believe one tenth of what you're told, without checking.

Answer 4

Man went to his doctor complaining of bright orange color on his genitalia. His doctor took a sample to send to the lab and told the man to come back the next day. When he returned, the doctor asked him, "Do you watch porn videos?", to which the guy admitted that he did. The doctor then told him to quit watching the videos and eating Cheetos at the same time.

Answer 5

From alot of asking around myself the awnser is no, if that were true ued see lots of blind people.

Also if its the same for the hairy palms thing.

Answer 6

the saying is "too much sex can make you go blind....I guess I haven't had too much yet"

I find this funny and morbit at the same time.

Older men are now taking drugs like viagra to "keep going" long into old age, but one of the most common side effects of this drug is blindness...

so sex + viagra = blindness

kind of a morbid coicidence i think

Answer 7

Yes, absoloutly, it happens all the time but there is only one reason why.. believe it or not researchers have uncovered that; if you shove needles in the eye while doing it, you WILL go blind, so be careful ;)

Answer 8

Contrary to what you've heard, no, you won't go blind from masterbating. That's an old wives tale parents tell their children so they won't do it.

Answer 9

Nah, or I would have been blind by the age of 8.

Answer 10

i would hope not. i do it several times a day and nothing has happened and been doing it since the age of 7.
