Does masturbation have negative effects? Scientists published this very revealing graph in the Archives of Sexual Behavior here. You can see that as masturbation increases the satisfaction with life decreases. The more a person masturbates the more dissatisfied a person may become. This leads to depression, unhappiness, lack of motivation, and other problems.

If masturbation is so healthy as so many claim then why are so many people complaining of pain and negative effects from masturbating? Religion has nothing to do with it because even non religious people experience the same pains and negative side effects.We live in a world where it is perfectly okay to say that masturbation gives one pleasure and relieves stress but if you say that masturbation gives you aches and pains then you are seen as some sort of victim of conscious or subconscious religious voodoo brainwashing. One Yahoo post here explains this point nicely by saying:

"...People often claim that any perceived decrease in concentration, memory, and motivation is simply a psychological effect caused by guilt. But this implies that "it's all in your head" and thus purely imaginary. However, as Dumbledore said, "Of course it's happening inside your head Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real." Yes, I know the context is off, but the point is nevertheless true: why should our self-perceptions of memory, consciousness, and focus be any less real just because they're intangible? There are still action potentials, neurotransmitters, and synaptic connections in the brain being made constantly as a result of environmental influences, chemical intake, and, of course, the act of thinking. So if I am aware of my concentration and short-term memory being worse, then they actually are, at least for a day or so until they revert back to what is "normal" for me. It isn't "all" in my head (though it is happening in my brain), it really is happening--it just isn't perceivable through any of the 5 senses.

So now we've established that masturbating to ejaculation can cause temporary negative side effects in the brain. Well, isn't the brain the most important organ of the body? And if someone experiences these effects after each ejaculation yet masturbates to ejaculation every day, a temporary effect can become quite harmful...."
What this person correctly pointed out is that both pleasure and pain take place in the brain. If you masturbate without a brain you will get no pleasure and if you burn your hand on a hot stove without a brain you will feel no pain. As pleasure is subjective so is the pain. Doctors, counselors, psychiatrists, and other health professionals often receive complaints from people who masturbate of the following list of negative side effects:


Difficulty in performing real sexual intercourse
Fatigue, Tiredness
Stress
Weak erection
Headache
Premature ejaculation
Semen leakage
Reduced orgasm
Loss of sex drive towards the opposite sex
Interest in Homosexuality, Transgender
Loss of memory
Lower back pain
Impotence
Anxiety
Mood swings
Insomnia
Lack of concentration, Brain Fog
Increased feelings of Loneliness, Shyness, and Desire for isolation
Increased feelings of Guilt
Depression, Less Happiness
Loss of motivation
Suicidal thoughts and tendencies

The negative side effects of masturbation are real. There are physical laws that govern the health of your body, brain, and nervous system. It does not matter if you are Hindu, Muslim, Christian, or secular, violating those laws will produce a guaranteed result. Every day people share their testimonies here about how masturbation has affected their life. The truth is that masturbation is unhealthy but people want to hear good things about their bad habits so they try so hard to numb their conscience with absurd justifications like “it’s normal” and “everybody does it.” 70 years ago they said the same thing about cigarettes, “Hey smoking is healthy, See, everyone else is doing it."
Little innocent children are being fed lies with their french fries in the public fool system. The beauty and benefits of self-control, self-regulation, and fulfilling relationships with the opposite sex are hidden from them. There are now seven, eight, and nine year old girls and boys becoming addicted to porn and masturbation. Once those neural pathways are established in the brain it is almost impossible to break away from these habits. As surely as night follows day those habits bring consequences and the addicted one spends the rest of his life looking for help in all the wrong places. However, nobody needs to give up hope. The tips outlined in How to Stop Masturbation help people to increase their self-control.
