There’s a lot of conflicting information including some myths and rumors about whether masturbation is bad for you. It’s important to remember that it’s totally okay not to masturbate.

Things to consider

Know this: Whether you masturbate is up to you and only you.

If you do, rest assured that doing so won’t cause any physical harm. And if you don’t, there’s no harm, no foul, for you either.

Masturbating releases hormones

Masturbation causes your body to release a number of hormones. These hormones include:

Dopamine. This is one of the “happiness hormones” that’s related to your brain’s reward system.

Endorphins. The body’s natural pain reliever, endorphins also have de-stressing and mood-boosting effects.

Oxytocin. This hormone is often called the love hormone and is associated with social bonding.

Testosterone. This hormone is released during sex to improve stamina and arousal. It’s also released when you have sexual fantasies, according to a 2011 study

Prolactin. A hormone that plays an important role in lactation, prolactin also influences your mood and immune system.


Masturbating can cause you to release healthy amounts of the above hormones, which is why it can positively affect your mood and physical health.

But the effects aren’t always positive

While there are proven benefits, some people do have negative experiences with masturbation.

You might dislike the feeling, or it might be against your belief system, or you might simply be uninterested in it. That’s fine! Whether you choose to masturbate or not is up to you.

If masturbation is difficult for you, and this difficulty is bothering you, consider reaching out to a doctor or therapist.
