People has said so many things about masturbation, masturbation is as old as man, as it is one of the first sexual manipulations humans usually get involved in.

90percents of adults have masturbated in one time or the other.

A study conducted in the united state finds out about 74 percents of males and 48 percents of females between the age of 14-17years do masturbate and about 63 percent and 32 percent of females do masturbate in adulthood.

American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology recognize masturbation as a normal component of child and adolescent development and recommend that health care providers educate their patients that they are perfectly normal if they finds themselves masturbating.

There are no medical side effects of masturbation except it may become an unbreakable habits, which may linger on even in marriage, it could led to guilt because of our belief, it may results to penile skin excoriation if harmful substances are used as lubricants.

The females however may use instruments which can cause cervical injury and introduction of infections to the uterus, some may react to Dildos.


Outside this people believes masturbation causes the following:
1. Infertility: this is absolutely not correct as the commonest cause of infertility are PID, PCOS hormonal imbalance, noona syndrome in males and there is no journal pointing masturbation as a cause of infertility.

2. Premature Ejaculation: masturbation has no connection with premature ejaculation. in fact, people who masturbate tend to last longer in sex.

3. Body weakness: this is also no correct as masturbation also releases natural body endorphins which helps to cushion pains relaxing the nerves.

4. Blindness: another lies the commonest cause of blindness today is refractive errors, diabetic retinopathy and uncontrolled hypertension

5. Poor memory: this is another big lie masturbation doesn't make you have difficulty in recalling if you are dull see a neurologist.

6. Penile curvation: many men have penile curvation and its not because of masturbation although a more serious one called peyronies disease exist still its not caused by masturbation.

7. Low sperm count: its doesn't cause low sperm count however if you want to do sperm count you are even required to abstained from sex, but your testosterone will replenish the sperm.

8. Mental illness: masturbation has no connection with illness infact masturbation even elate individuals and relieves stress.
If you hear people talking to you or you hear voices see a psychiatrist.

9. Cancer: masturbation is not carcinogenic and research has it that men who ejaculate frequently has a lower risk of prostrate cancer.

Next time you are about to discourage someone from masturbating use Religion Either Islam or Christianity to discourage the person and not using unfounded medical myths.

Who says Alcohol is not dangerous? Do you know what Liver Cirosis is?

have you heard about diabetes?

Have you heard about hypertension and obesity?

This are all caused by takin in excess of food.

Alcohol use only cause liver cirrhosis in excess and very prolonged abuse just as excess sugar causes diabetes.

And just of your head, do you think people die more from liver cirrhosis or diabetes?

themaestro08:


I disagree. Guilty of what exactly? Ashamed of who? And you say it affects ones self esteem? That's laughable not debatable.

Can you provide any scientific evidence to back up your assertions? I'll wait.

Staggering statistics. Personally, I've never done this before and I've been around for almost 3 decades, it's funny because I've literally watched my senior cousin brother do it when I was little. There's not even any inclination towards making an attempt. I'm sure they're many people like me. Sometimes I ask myself 'what if I'm into this shit?', if I were, believe me I wouldn't see women the way I do now, whether that's a good thing or not, I'm not fapping any time soon. The numbers for Nigeria may be less than these though.

Do you feel the same way after having sex with a woman as well?. I'm just curious.

never under estimate the power of sexual fustration

thatthing111:


HAHAHAHA! This made me laugh out loud...just the other day, one of my friends was telling me how his wife had been denying him sex for three weeks, so one night, when she said her normal, 'please, I am tired' he brought out his dick and started masturbating right there on their bed. She got disgusted and asked him to stop. He didn't, so she left the room. lol! I understand why girlfriends might want to deny their boyfriends sex, but wives denying their husbands sex is something I just dont understand.

there could be other underlying factors. your signs may not be directly linked to masturbation

Please get your facts right. Dopamine in all it's glory is esential to everday movement etc.

The dopamine from the ventral tegmental area is a reward chemical. It is secreted when you do/receive something enjoyable. This in turn causes the brain to tell you to keep getting more and more of that pleasurable thing that causes a release of dopamine hence an addiction.

So yes, Dopamine is what causes an addiction

https://www.sciencenewsforstudents.org/article/explainer-what-dopamine

You cannot be scared of an addition because you don't even know what you could end up getting addicted to. You know about alcohol, drugs etc because they're common but do you know about the RLS(rrestless leg syndrome), pain addiction, speed addiction as in driving fast, even killing ergo serial killers.

I still maintain that you have a piss poor self esteem and no confidence because of the way you were brought up. Like it or not, many people were abused by their parents in different ways as kids and even by their peers in school (bullying).

It is not shame that causes people to avoid crime, it is FEAR. Ask your peers who studied psychology, it's a whole topic on it's own (I think).





Addiction does not lead to shame. The results of your actions when you're under the influence of your addiction is what causes shame.

I have my own peculiar addictions, these addictions do not make me behave in anyway that society will frown up and for that sole reason alone, I am not ashamed, I do enjoy my addiction.

Everybody has one addiction or the other and many people do enjoy their addictions.

As for addiction causing you to lose self confidence and esteem, look at Robert Downey Junior; he was a hardcore drug addict, he was in and out of rehabs and did prison time on more than one occasion, yet, he is as confident as any person can be.

Let us think and appply proven things to daily living for once. Religion and ancient archaic society has conditioned a lot of people to feel a lot of things are when in actuality, they're not.

Keep an objective mind and don't just swallow everything you're fed.

Very wise submissions...

I was telling someone the other day that users aren't addicted to the substance rather they are addicted to the feelings the substance cause them to experience. Give them some other substance that causes similar/enhanced feelings and you'll see it's not the previous substance they're addicted to.


So much for schooling.....very few amongst men are truly educated!

I never knew there was any side infect whatsoever. But I almost got blind. See en,make I non talk wetin masturbation cause me..

"Addiction does not lead to shame. The results of your actions when you're under the influence of your addiction is what causes shame"

You keep going back and forth only to prove my point again in the end.

Addiction does lead to shame, low self-esteem and confidence. It has nothin to do with your actions.

You talked about Dwayne like he's your average man on the street. Do you know the number of professional therapists that man has met in just his single lifetime?

Look around you when you are making a point. Yes masturbation will not interact chemically with your body but psychologically, most people who masturbate pays great price.

I don't care if it is because of religious beliefs or the way they were raised up. It happens a lot and you shouldn't talk like it doesn't happen.

Most people who masturbate becomes timid, have lower self-esteem and confidence especially after trying to quit the habit multiple times and have less quality relationships with the opposite sex since they will spend most of their time indoors.

Show me a very confident man who masturbates and I'll show you 100 more men who masturbates with low self-esteem.

*sigh

Nigerians.

Anyhoo, it's your opinion, you're entitled to it.

I don't masturbate and I won't criticize those who practise it.
But I think it's because the society disapproves it, that's why most of them have those psychological effects you have mentioned.
Even homosexuals had same issue like that in the past, but now have brazened it out more so acceptance has been given to it by some countries.

you have said it all

U have my respect bro..

Masturbation is one of those things that make me believe that science has it's flaws and still have quite a long way to go.
I don't know whether it differs from person to person. But.. masturbation does more harm. They should stop making wrong generalizations

I can not be deceived,
MASTURBATION IS FROM THE DEVIL

U have my respect bro..

I sincerely appreciate.

Shut up
I masturbate and I love it. I don't have any hollow feeling after I'm done.
I also have sex and my partners are well satisfied

The only guilt that can come is when people have been indoctrinated from religion that such is bad.

Come again self, are you sure you have ever used your brain in your life?
Have you ever had a thought that was original, not branded into you by the culture or religion you were born in?
