Is masturbation harmful to the health?
Generally,masturbation (Let us use M for this word) DO NOT have harmful health effects however if done EXCESSIVELY it can cause BAD effects.
A number of studies have proven the following HEALTH BENEFITS OF MASTURBATION (to both male & female) self-pleasuring to mental, social and physical health:
>>M alleviates premenstrual tension for many women.
>>M provides a healthy sexual outlet for people who choose to abstain from sex with partners or who do not currently have available sexual partners.
>>M can be a route to safer sex, to help prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, including HIV.
>>M allows for sexual pleasuring for those who are not ready to engage in vaginal, anal or oral sex.
>>M increases blood flow to the genital region, which can help overall sexual functioning.
>>M can induce sleep.
>>M allows people to become familiar and comfortable with their body.
>>M is often suggested as a therapeutic technique for overcoming sexual dysfunction.
>>For women, M can help them learn how to achieve orgasm.
>>For men, M can help them increase ejaculatory control and manage rapid or delayed ejaculation.
>>M can help alleviate stress.
>>M can decrease the risk of prostate cancer.
When will it turn BAD? When M is done EXCESSIVELY, it may have the following bad effects:
>>Weakening of the nervous system can happen when the brain gets depleted of ACETYLCHOLINE and replaced with ADRENALINE produced during M. Retained adrenaline in the body after the act will cause several problems related to the brain which include lack of concentration, loss of memory, absentmindedness, and headache. If done excessively, it can cause severe IMPAIRMENT of the BRAIN FUNCTIONS in the long run.
>> Too much M converts TESTOSTERONE in the body of the man into DIHYDROTESTOSTERONE (DHT).High levels of DHT can cause problems which include enlargement of the prostate gland.Another important side-effect of the high levels of DHT is the BALDNESS which can begin occurring even at young age if M is done too much.
>>Excessive M can cause HORMONAL IMBALANCES throughout the body and could have negative effects on the body as a whole.
>>Excessive M can bring on several health problems after a prolonged period of time considering that each ejaculate takes away some of the bio-energy from within the body.
Some advices of controlling ejaculation if M is done very frequently. However M without ejaculation can make the semen to recede back into the prostate.The sperm mixed in it can get stuck in the prostate and when the sperm dies an unhealthy environment is created causing an infection of the prostate (prostatitis) and urinary tract Infection.
>>M can be addictive and possibly can end up into OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE DISORDER which can entirely affect your work and life.
Well, in conclusion M had been considered as part of a healthy sex life but can be harmful if done excessively. Do it the healthy way!

You may try doing it once or twice a week. It will not harm you. But, not doing it properly may get you a disorder named PE (premature ejaculation). To avoid PE, don't masturbate in a hurry. Go slow and give the process ample time. Never ever try to reach climax (orgasm) fast. If you do so, in future when you will have real sex, you will ejaculate early, and can't satisfy the girl. For immunity boosting, have a good Chyavanprash with milk everyday. Increase the intake of turmeric. Also, there is very good tonic named Livosin. It boosts your liver, immunity, whole body. Have it twice a day. Good luck.

Yes, if overdone. Excessively doing it can lead to a temporary erectile dysfunction. Do it in moderation. Normal masturbation is perfectly okay and it is even advised by doctors especially for men to "cleanse" the testicular tubes. Several researches even said that men who do it regularly is less prone to prostate cancer.

No. The only way it could be harmful is if you're fantasizing about the wrong things while doing it. Otherwise, it's actually good for you.
