There's no harm,\notherwise we all should have problem or be impotent even!\nOn the contrary, scientists says that a regular sexual life (mastu*bation too) helps the reproductive system to keep healthy, increasing the performance (libido) too.\nSomebody even plays more time in a day and there’s no correlation with impotency or erection.\nSo, don’t worry for that, while you only ought to care to don’t become too much addicted.\nMastu*bation is a normal event, and with the age and stable relation should decrease till vanish.\nGenerally a couple of mastu*bation in a day shouldn't give pain, unless your penis doesn't get a skin inflammation.

I have heard where masturbation can actually improve your sex life in that masturbating right before sex will enhance your performance by making you take longer to ejaculate. I'm not sure this works for everyone though but I say hey give it a try.

none what-so-ever, you don't get hairy palms, or go to hell or all those other myths out there. Masturbation really puts you in tune with your body, so that when you are with a physical person, you know what you like and can communicate it with him/her, verbally, or subtly, your choice. Personally, I think it makes you a better lover. Keep it up! =) (if your male, pardon the pun)

Masterbation doesnt always mean sticking your fingers right up there. In fact, it feels much better just having clitoral stimulation

I'm 30-something yrs. old....and I still mastubate from time to time.  It's not possible to ruin your sex life by mastubating all those.  You say no man can please you, I don't think that's possible.  You just haven't found the right man to hit that certain spot yet.

No.  Mastubation is not bad at all.  There are no medical risks in mastubation.  Why do you think our hands can reach all the way down there?

Health and psychological effects\nIt is held in many mental health circles that masturbation can relieve depression and lead to a higher sense of self-worth. 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.\n\nBoth from the standpoint of avoiding unwanted pregnancy and that of avoiding sexually transmitted diseases, masturbation is the safest of sexual practices. There is no credible scientific or medical evidence that manual masturbation is damaging to either one's mental or physical health.\n\nA man whose penis has suffered "an invasive procedure, blunt trauma or injury during intercourse"[2] may suffer later in life from Peyronie's disease. Usually in the context of an abnormal tunica albuginea, the rare event of penile fracture[3] may occur. Phimosis is "a contracted foreskin (that) may cause trouble by hurting when an attempt is made to pull the foreskin back"[4]. In each of these cases, overly aggressive manipulation of the penis can be problematic.\n\nContrary to popular myth, masturbation does not cause blindness. There is some basis, however, to the myth: zinc is required both to transport vitamin A from the liver to the retina and is excreted in relatively high amount in semen. Thus, it is not inconceivable that in zinc-deficient or vitamin A-deficient environments excessive male masturbation could have caused night blindness (in which case sexual intercourse has an equal probability of causing blindness). Given a normal contemporary diet, however, this is extremely unlikely to happen. There is also the more modern issue of staring at a computer screen while watching pornography for extended periods of time as the pupils tend to dilate during arousal.\n\nThe only side-effects recorded are that repeated masturbation may result in tiredness or soreness, which tend to make repeated masturbation self-limiting in any case. For men, the volume of ejaculate is temporarily reduced after multiple ejaculations until normal seminal volume is regained in a day or so. Nevertheless, people may experience feelings of guilt during or after masturbation, especially if they come from a socially conservative or religious background.\n\nSolitary masturbation carries no risk of pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases. Masturbation involving both a man and a woman can result in pregnancy only if semen contacts the vulva. Any masturbation with a partner can theoretically result in transmission of sexually transmitted disease by contact with bodily fluids, and such contact should be avoided with any partner whose disease status is uncertain. Objects inserted into the vagina or anus should be clean and of a kind that will not scratch or break. Care should be taken not to fully insert anything into the anus—any object used should have a flared or flanged base; otherwise retrieval can require a visit to the emergency room. Most modern dildos and anal plugs are designed with this feature.\n\nIn 1994, when the first woman appointed Surgeon General of the United States, Dr. Joycelyn Elders, mentioned as an aside that perhaps it ought to be mentioned in school curricula that masturbation was safe and healthy, she was forced to resign, with opponents asserting that she was promoting the teaching of how to masturbate. Many believe this was the result of her long history of promoting controversial viewpoints and not due solely to her public mention of masturbation. Her case led to the coining of a new and humorous slang term for masturbation: Firing the surgeon general.\n\nOn July 16, 2003, an Australian research team led by Graham Giles of The Cancer Council published a medical study [5] 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 ejaculati

Masturbation cannot, and will not harm your health in any way. It will not make you go Blind, Bald and/or insane. Actually Masturbating will release the hormone endorphine which makes you feel more chilled out. That's just rubbish. for more on Masturbation follow the link below:

besides its primary role in reproduction, sex relieves hormonal tensions. since our bodies produce eggs and sperms during our sexually active age, we need to have sex to release such tensions within. some people have resorted to masturbation to achieve this but ideally have good and clean sex with the one you love. another benefit of sex is it draws a couple closer. when the Bible says that two shall become one, it suggest that for sex too when a couple is enjoined physically, emotionally and spiritually.

I've got no issues about that particular topic. I'd guess that women are less likely to do it at a given opportunity than men are, but I think it's equally healthy for both men and women. It not only allows for personal exploration, but can be a very natural release. As for the difference between the percentage of women who mastrubate versus the percentage of men, I suspect there is a significant difference and that the reason for the difference is a combination of societal expectation, religious belief, and general differences in sex drives.  Good luck with your project... sounds like an interesting class!!

The only side effect I'm aware of is that women who masturbate have better sex generally, as they are more comfortable with their bodies and knowing what gets them off helps them steer men in the right direction.

.the brain does not usually know the difference between masturbating,and actual intercourse. What makes sex good is usually an emotional thing for the person u/r with. Being male is a physical characteristic, so if u were born female, u still are.Anyway, masturbating is a poor way to have an  orgasm. Not only poor, but private and sick. I hope this does'nt't lead to problems with u/r life in the future, such as a pedophile in the making... so stop now, please.

Well some doctors say that if you masturbate then you lower your chances of testicular cancer, which is awesome, so I guess you could assume that since porn makes people wank it then it is definitely good for you.

it's not nasty...\nyou can have sex while you are having your period, it's just a little messy. mastubation is when you touch yourself and/or put something in your vagina like a dildo

Maturbation involves touching, stroking, yanking, and/or rubbing your genitals to acheive satisfaction (generally in the form of orgasm). You are probably quite young, but don't worry--masturbation is pretty risk free. Try it if you want. Just don't do anything stupid. Don't pull out scissors or nothin'. Stick to stroking and yanking.
