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.

Positive Effects of Masturbation Moderate masturbating can actually render positive effects like reducing stress and anxiety and promoting the production of 'endorphin' hormone. Endorphin is considered 'feel good hormones' as it brightens up the mood of an individual. Thus, increased amount of endorphin would mean lively mood and high spirits. Besides, this particular hormone is also said to be beneficial for a man's prostate. Negative Effects of Masturbation Excessive masturbation creates a problem when one reaches a point where he does not have any sperms to ejaculate and thus, blood takes over. It affects orgasm too. Psychologically, it leads to the issue of obsessive compulsive disorder of masturbating all the time with little or no life. The adverse effect on a relationship and the corresponding spouse is rather obvious. Tips to Quit Masturbation -Pamper your hobbies by spending more time in doing what you like. Indulge in outdoor activities, adventure sports and other similar activities that can help you keep your mind off from masturbating. -Avoid watching ****, sex magazines or any other form of sexual material. -Try to have a busy and tiring schedule so that by the end of the day you can fall asleep early.

It can become a very bad habit because if you can service yourself then why would you need a woman, right? Scientists say males should do it no more than once a month because horniness is a man's #1 modivator in all life. Without it, he becomes week to the opposite sex. (think of a bull -- he would be just another cow without his balls) -- Women can do it more often because it doesn't affect them as much.
If I were you, I'd cut down to a few times a month until you can find the power to only do it once a month. It becomes easy with practice although for some people, it's like quitting smoking.

Some form of sex is recommended every 6 weeks.
Sperm dies after about 6 weeks, so the action of masturbating is very good for you, imagine you haven't had sex or masturbated for 2 months, then you have sex with a girl you like, all you will do is fill her with dead sperm, no harm to her, but no use if you and her are thinking or having a baby.
Once or twice a week at a minimum, either have sex or masturbate, keeps you healthy for when you need the sperm the most.

I dont think so because in the long run you'll start to want the actual thing and then the masturbating will seem pointless and it will make you a little angry, maybe even dissapointed. Not only that, its a waste of energy

It releases hormones that boost your immunity to help prevent sickness. It releases seratonin that helps ward off depression. It is a clinically healthy thing to do. Just don't do it in public, or around kids!!
Enjoy. Masturbation. Does a body good.

It's great for you! Do it as often as you enjoy, but save some for the real thing.
I don't know how to make it clear that this is an honest answer, but just don 't let the kooks and crazies tell you there is something wrong with it.
Have a good one!

Masturbation is fine in moderation. But it should never be a "habit" because excessive masturbation is harmful and counter effective... Keep it once every 1 or 2 weeks you'll be fine. And when you start having sex, stop masturbating instead of sex. Bottom line is don't make a habit of it
