If viewed through a sociological and developmental standpoint,One would come to understand that the alarming prevalence of masturbation can be chalked up to the pruddish way in which the society in general and our African parents specifically view male-female relationship especially during our teenage and adolescent phases of our lives.Although they have a good intention for doing so in order to prevent complications of excessive teenage exuberance like unwanted pregnancy and so on and so forth,Overdoing it only encourages the evolving teenager to take a default path to explore his/her sexuality.That is where masturbation comes in.

At OP, dont blame masturbation fro you woes.

Even many straight guyS are in deep shit .

Cool down and know the cause of your problem.

Its from your nature.

Naturally you are just like that, you lack guts and confidence. Thats the reason you chose masturbation over puna. The first one is easy to get.

Na your nature - You are a comfort zone person, you are shy,etc and grew up from may be a religious background.

Its time the get rid of all the sexual seduction and dogma given by your parents and religion and you will be fine.

If you like quit masturbation, nothing special will happen in your life.

Make I tell you something like your fellow man - Try and consult a powerful Oracle for your life problems.

Somethings we inherit many rubbish Karma from our families and our enemies also add their own.

This resonates with me so much.

Lol, don't blame your problem on masturbation, blame it on your lack of motivation.

I worked with a billionaire CEO,that jerks off before every board meeting to get the steam off. He still goes home to bang his wife and side chicks , and still hit the money numbers. Don't be naive, your problem is not masturbation your problem is lack of motivation, you jerk off for the wrong reason, and after that you sleep off, and dream/ lust after women you can't approach.

Change your view, chase your dreams ,don't use masturbation as an escape for loneliness and responsibilities. Dazzal..

Overindulgence: How Watching Porn Is Actively Ruining Your Life

5 Major Ways Porn Addiction Affects Your Brain

Curious345:
Maturbation is a sin. It's bad and not good . Although 93% of men indulge in it , that doesn't make it morally right.

Masturbating a sin Show me where in the bible it says it's a sin.

Smh

AngelicDamsel:
Just like I said in another thread long ago. I masturbate to ease sexual tension. Judge me all you want, but if I tickle my ear, nose, rub my breast or my below, it makes no difference to me. They are all mine to serve me and when I feel any urge that I can fulfill without hurting anyone, I fulfill.

It has not affected me negatively because I have settled it with my conscience. If I have cramps and I pleasure myself, should I judge myself guilty of immorality!

Although I won't admit in person, I masturbate and I am doing well.

One or two sessions per week is not addiction.

Your genitals is like any other part of your body. Be moderate, that's all!




Don't be naive.

This you??

I dunno what the heck he was on about. Nigerians can be uber dumb sometimes. So a guy who self services regularly will have "issues" but a guy who bangs vagina regularly won't? Nor be the same kum dem dey kum? Where self service affect a guy is when his gbola gets too used to the feel of his rough hands so that soft inside of a vagina will not stimulate him enough to kum. Hence the banging for hours syndrome, especially with a new partner. You could go a whole month without Kumming unless handjob or Mouth Gig is involved. Also the psychological guilty impact of engaging in the act. Other than that, nothing. In fact it helps prevent prostrate cancer in older men, most especially those not having sex regularly due to marriage issues, but don't want to sleep outside.

Don't mind them..
Nigerians are a bunch of superstitious wreck..
There is always a spritual angle to everything..

But the devils scientists said masturbation has no side effect. This goes to show why reasonable people like us no longer take biased scientists serious. They publish scientific journals to support or refute an idea based on vested interest. Ask the association that was formed by tobacco manufacturers to counter the study that found out that nicotine in tobacco is deadly.

Small minded people wont understand this cos they swallow everything they are told in the papers.

I am a Christian.

To be fair and less dogmatic, masturbation, just like sex, has no side effects, except when practices excessively. In other words, if there is any side effect of masturbation, it comes from practicing it excessively. However, in simple terms, masturbation is, like sex, without side effects.

As for tobacco, it has to do with a product. Hence, tobacco-producing companies may lie to keep the monies coming. This doesn't relate to masturbation at all.

We should learn to separate our convictions from science. Simply say masturbation is a sin. Don't try to cause people go desist from it by trying to force the narrative that it has side effects...

You seem quite schooled. That's great!

Now, if these side effects you attached to masturbation are true, does it apply to sex too? Addiction to sex would prolly have been worse. Don't you think so?

BTW, I think masturbation is wrong. That's my opinion. Not medical science.

I am not dogmatic.

When you have time read this post- http:///dkVF.

On masturbation, the poster just shared the side effect of addiction to masturbate. What do I need someone to tell me again?

Lol. Go and read up and do a proper research. Come with concrete stuff, sir. Something scholarly.
