hi,
are there any effects attached with mastubation in male?

i do not think we have published side effect on this subject matter but i do not think that it is a nice habit to get involved in this activity.

If this habit is formed it be difficult for the person in question to appreciate the good intention of GOD for the togetherness of man and woman.

But in all honesty i think you need to see you Doctor for good medical service

The only Side effect attached with masturbation is that you can get addicted! Now don't get addicted to it because when u do, u'll actually prefer it to sex, and you know your girl won't be happy that way.

Masturbation is not evil, dirty or harmful - it will not make you go blind, drive you insane, turn you in to a pervert, stunt your growth, give you an STD, make you sterile or get you pregnant. You are normal if you masturbate, and normal if u don't. It is one of the few things in life that is "normal if you do and normal if you don't".

The only real problems that come with masturbation are psychological and are the result of unhealthy or weary attitudes toward doing it (if you do it but are ashamed) or abnormal practices, , for example, public masturbation!.

Nice post hot-angel, I concur

another area that you might not of considered is, if you masterbate you don't want to spend hours before you climax! right or wrong? Why make yourself work too hard!!

If your body gets used to climaxing with minimal stimulation you could end up being a 20 second man. Your wife will not be too happy!

Masturbation is an enjoyable and very healthy

The keyword is 'moderation'

Enjoy yourself!

wow, reverend, i really reverence u! lol

cumming

Masterbation especially in the context of being a christian, is nothing more than self abuse, and hence it is not healthy, both spiritually and mentally. It is classified as apart of sexual immorality.

Let me explain. Masterbation cannot be accomplished without the mind playing a critical role. A person cannot just up and masterbate until his or her mind is centered sexually. Either the mind is getting a flashback from some pornographic material viewed before in the past, which then acts as a stimulant, or some time during the day a person was earlier stimulated by the sight about something of the opposite sex. Jesus once said that if a man looks at a woman with sexual intent he commits adultery. Masterbation involves a mental recap of an experience that will actually stimulate the ejaculation of semen. This is where the lust comes into the picture, where the person doing the act starts to imagine himself or herself doing it with someone else.

No matter what the cause of stimulation it can never be seen as healthy or moral. The person who performs the act comes under spiritual depression as a christian, because of the accompanying deep-seated guilt.

Lust is a cool and Hot sensation!

Lets hear it for lust

Many times I find myself in love lust with women.

it is the devil talking to you. you must stop or the devil will blind you my son. go find yourself a woman ASAP!

Masterbation

Why in the world can't you spell masturbation? Also, it's NOT a typo since you spelt it wrong numerous times.

omg!!!!

@ topic

Guilt and the dirty feeling you get atferwards.

Marriages and relatinships have been broken or marred as a result of this act. Most partners when addicted feel comfortable doing it than with their mate.

Along with it comes guilt and low esteem which is more like an emotional trauma most especially in extreme cases.

Biblically, it's a sin since it is preceded and helraded with Lust. Colossians 3:5 states "Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry." Here LUST which helrad masturbation is condemned. There can never be masturbation without lust hence it biblically wrong.

masturbation plays a part in your struggle with lust. If it does, then they should consider changing their habits in order to help defeat the temptation of lust.

HOWEVER,

It has been shown that men who masturbate with some degree of frequency have a lower incidence of prostate cancers later in life.

Now, please let me say that I respect all views regarding faith. I will never speak ill of anyone's following a church or deity of his/her own choice.

But, let's recap: Masturbation was never meant to supplant sex with another individual. It augments release of sexual tension. It does not transmit disease. It does not cause unwanted, unplanned or any type of pregnancies at all. Thus, it is safe. It's a solo act, so there are no feelings to be considered, other than those of the participant.

So, I reiterate: If masturbation makes you uncomfortable, either physically, emotionally, spiritually or whatever, just don't do it. For the rest of us, however, we will continue to enjoy ourselves and not hurt anyone else in the process. Also, we won't feel guilty, dirty ashamed or bad.

drrionelli let me ask u this: As safe as Masturbation is, how many of u will be confident enough to pratice it in the public?

That in itself makes it a social ill.

@smilingjee:

Thank you for your input, but allow me to ask you this--If monogamous, protected sex with your long-time spouse is safe, how many will be willing to engage in it in public?

In other words, my friend, just because something is safe does not suggest that it should be done in public.  After all, defecation is safe and quite natural, but who wants to do that in public, either?!?

drrionelli

I think i'll have to be a bit blunt here. I have seen people defecate publicly in rural areas and that's quite understandable (lack of toilets) but u could get arrested for public masturbation.

Although, like u've vividly pointed out, masturbation is a normal, harmless sexual activity. however, it may become a symptom of illness if an older child or adult masturbates in public or masturbates compulsively. Although there is no simple rule about how much masturbation is too much, it is generally considered to be compulsive if masturbation:

Is performed excessively
Becomes time consuming
Interferes with a person's daily routine, work or social functioning
Continues despite no longer being pleasurable or gratifying
Places the individual at risk of physical harm, or has legal or personal consequences

smilingjee, you have made a very important observation.

The key word is COMPUSIVELY.

Truly, sir, ANY behaviour which is carried out compulsively, has the potential for harm, be it personal, professional, societal or even cultural.  To be sure, neither I nor any rationally thinking individual would encourage mass acceptance of activities that are harmful.  Let's be honest, drinking clean water is good for the body.  But drinking twenty-five litres a day is not such a good thing!  That's compulsive.  Obesity, for example, is not a good thing.  But neither is anorexia nervosa, a compulsive loss of weight. 

Your points in this issue are well-taken, my friend, and I certainly respect them.  (By the way, I, too, have seen people relieve their bowels and/or bladders in public places.  It is against the law where I live, much as is public masturbation, and the aforementioned safe, protected sex, even with a long-time monogamous partner!!)

drrionelli

Points well made!

lmao

masturbation is not good cos many guys have lost thier virginity to it!!!thats the No.1 side effect

esoneek:

Yes sure!

Then you will have to marry your hand

The side effect is you kill the art of boy chase girl or vice versa. There are too many chics to be playing around with your hand. Besides there's no way the hand can replace beautiful, gorgeous, coke cola bottle shaped, well endowed, created on the 7th day African Queens.

There are so many things wrong with the above. Assuming you are on a trip; away from your wife. Is it considered lust/adultery if you think about your wife, look at her picture or watch a home-made movie of you two doing it while you mastubate?

Masturbation is a very bad practice,it tells u dat u are not a real man, Once u are addicted to it u become a 2 seconds man.So why do it?

I like having sex and masturbating   , It makes you feel like you in paradise when the cumming is coming,oh yea , jack it hard ,


But am trying to quit masturbation,shouldnt/should I ?

Masturbation has side effect of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Beware!

masturbation. . . . . . difficult to comment. faith seems to be against it. but . . . .but. . . . . what if a man is living far away from his wife. . .what would you ladies prefer / that he masturbates or that he follows another woman?

what of the young guys who have had it rough with women, or they cant get a girlfriend, and they don't want to patronise prostitutes, what do they do? allow themselves to be congysized? is masturbation not better than visiting brothels

even for faith based arguments, is masturbation not better than fornication?

ponder

nice to meet you all please can you tell the person that posted that trach to tell me the meaning of a second man

Question

hi I'm a male I'm 17 and i just wanted to ask some questions.
my penis size is 5.1-5.2 when it gets hard, is that a good size to give pleasure to a girl? the other question is i masturbate everyday and i just wanted to know if my penis would get weak in the future or would it affect my future with my partner in the sex time? or would it get smaller? whats the average size penis to give a girl the pleasure that she want's?

Answer

You have an average size penis and that is enough to geve a girl what she needs. She will have a lot of pleasure from your penis.

Masturbation will not make your penis smaller, and it wont get weak from masturbation. YOu can cut back on masturbating, but dont be too hard on yourself. Anywhere between 3 to 7 times per week is probably average for a guy your age.

Benefits
It is held in many mental health circles that masturbation can relieve depression, stress and lead to a higher sense of self-worth (Hurlbert & Whittaker, 1991). Masturbation can also be particularly useful in relationships where one partner wants more sex than the other — in which case masturbation provides a balancing effect and thus a more harmonious relationship.

On July 16, 2003, an Australian research team led by Graham Giles of The Cancer Council Australia published a medical study [3] which concluded that frequent masturbation by males may help prevent the development of prostate cancer. The study also indicated that this would be more helpful than ejaculation through sexual intercourse because intercourse can transmit diseases that may increase the risk of cancer instead.

Masturbation is also seen as a sexual technique that protects individuals from the risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS. Support for such a view, and for making it part of the American sex education curriculum led to the dismissal of US Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders during the Clinton administration.

Some people actually consider masturbation as a cardiovascular workout.[12] And while doctors have no proof of this actually being true, those suffering from cardiovascular disorders (particularly those recovering from myocardial infarction, or heart attacks) should resume physical activity (including sexual intercourse and masturbation) gradually and with the frequency and rigor in which their physical status will allow. Some doctors will advise those recovering from heart attacks to resume sexual activity (solitary or with a partner) when one is able to climb two flights of stairs without experiencing shortness of breath or chest pain

Compulsive masturbation
Masturbating frequently presents no physical, mental or emotional risk in itself,[16] but it can be that masturbation is being used to relieve either boredom or stress. In either case, as with any "nervous habit", it is more helpful to consider the causes of the boredom or of the stress, rather than try to repress the masturbation itself.[17]

There is some discussion between professionals and other interested parties as to the existence or validity of sexual addictions. Nonetheless there are lists of warning signs such as when sexual activity is reducing a person's ability to function in every day life, or is placing them at risk, for example, of pursuing illegal or destructive activities. Very frequent and compulsive masturbation may be seen as one of the signs of a sexual addiction.[18]

Robert Weiss and Leslie Fisher wrote, "The most frequent consequence of compulsive masturbation is a life devoid of intimacy, removed from feeling and filled with hidden shame."
