Come on!!\nMasturbation is not a crime, and it's not bad, and it won't kill you, make you ugly, get your knees inside or whatever...\nIt is said to be good for not having Prostate Cancer because you get rid of bad stuff that accumulate in your balls... if I can say so...\nI got great answers for you, but they are in french... you can always do google translation as I did with the link i give you...\n\n"6 - Is the masturbation dangerous for health?\n\nIt is what generations of teachers wanted to do to believe to move away the young people from these practices. And the beliefs in this field are many and tough. However, the proof is made today that the masturbation cannot be held for person in charge for physical or mental disorders. Let us repeat it high and strong: the masturbation makes neither deaf, nor blind man. It involves neither sterility, neither cancer, nor psychosis."

No, absolutely!\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.

Check with your doctor, first and foremost. Then maybe change the way you masturbate. You could be causing harm to your body.

If you meant the masturb*tion, I say:\nNo, you should run no significant risk.\nAnybody acts according to his sexuality and lust.\nA friend of mine had anaemia after one year he was been mastu*bating 3-4 times in a day.\nBut it even depends by your body-build too. \nMasturbating can be done as frequently as you wish as long as it does not interfere with your life.\nDon’t worry, just act as you feel and enjoy!

Research's been done, too much masturbation causes you to lose interest in sex. That's overexcessive i mean, probably like 5 times daily ??

Dear Alice-\n\nIf a person masturbates once or twice a day, for approximately over a long period of time, like two to three years, would there be any side effects for this person? Or maybe, are there any long-term side effects?\n\nSigned-- Curious Student about Masturbation\n\n \n\nDear Curious Student about Masturbation,\n\nIndividuals vary tremendously in the frequencies with which they masturbate. There are people who never masturbate, those who masturbate two or three times in their lifetime, and those who masturbate three or more times a day, as well as everything in between. Many people masturbate throughout their lifetime without any side effects, other than pleasure. If there is no significant stress in your life (work, school, relationship, family, etc.), and the amount you are masturbating isn't hurting you, why not just enjoy yourself?

No, in fact, increased ejaculation (through masturbating or sex) decreases the risk of prostate cancer.  Read about it here: http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn4861

Masturbating doesn't have any effect on your physical health.  If doing it (or anything else) compulsively it may cause you a problem though.

There is quite a bit of evidence that it is VERY good for your mental and physical health. The incidence of prostate cancer is apparently considerably less on guys that masturbated frequently, especially in their younger years. No doubt that it's normal, healthy and fun...so go for it and enjoy!

I was once told in the clearest possible terms that I had to stop masturbating. Normally I wouldn't have worried but this urgent advice came from my very own doctor!\n\n"Oh, come on, doc!" I said. "I have to give up masturbation? Why? Don't give me all that nonesense about pimples, blindness, hairs on the palms ... "\n\n"It's nothing to do with that." he said. "It's just that you're upsetting the other people in my waiting room."

Actually, the reverse is true.\n\nThe reason I know this is the personal experience of a 38 year-old male friend of mine a few years ago.  He has been without a partner for some time (8 years in fact) and relied on "self-service" during that time.\n\nWhen he did begin a relationship with a partner, he could no longer function properly and required medical treatment.\n\nThe doctor advised him that effectively the blood vessels had atrophied over the time primarily because masturbation does not sustain an erection for long enough to keep the blood vessels healthy.

Actually choosing a diet that suits your blood group is recommended for controlling prostate cancer.But I guess masturbating will relax you and take your mind off your problems so it might minimise the risk.

Masturbation is widespread. Reportedly, some 97 percent of males and more than 90 percent of females have masturbated by the age of 21. Furthermore, this practice has been blamed for all manner of ills—from warts and red eyelids to epilepsy and mental illness.\n\nTwentieth-century medical researchers no longer make such alarming claims. Indeed, doctors today believe that no physical illness is caused by masturbation. Researchers William Masters and Virginia Johnson add that “there is no established medical evidence that masturbation, regardless of frequency, leads to mental illness.” Nevertheless, there are other ill effects! And many Christian youths are rightly concerned about the practice. “When I gave in to [masturbation], I’d feel as if I were failing Jehovah God,” wrote one youth. “I got seriously depressed sometimes.”\n\nMasturbation is deliberate self-stimulation to produce sexual arousal. During the bloom of youth, sexual desires become strong. Powerful hormones are released that affect the reproductive organs. A youth thus becomes aware that these organs are capable of producing pleasurable sensations. And sometimes a youth may become sexually excited without even thinking about sex.\n\nFor instance, the tensions produced by various worries, fears, or frustrations can affect a boy’s sensitive nervous system and cause sexual arousal. A buildup of semen may in turn cause him to awaken sexually excited. Or it may produce a nocturnal emission, usually accompanied by an erotic dream. Similarly, some young girls may find themselves stimulated unintentionally. Many have a heightened sexual desire just before or after their menstrual period.\n\nSo if you have experienced such arousal, there is nothing wrong with you. This is a normal response of a youthful body. Such sensations, even if very intense, are not the same as masturbation, since they are largely involuntary. And as you grow older, the intensity of these new sensations will subside.\n\nCuriosity and the novelty of these new sensations, though, lead some youths deliberately to manipulate, or play with, their sexual organs.\n\nThe Bible describes a young man who meets a promiscuous woman. She kisses him and says: “Do come, . . . let us enjoy each other with love expressions.” Then what happens? “All of a sudden he is going after her, like a bull that comes even to the slaughter.” (Proverbs 7:7-22) Obviously, this youth’s passions were aroused not simply because his hormones were at work but because of what he saw and heard.\n\nSimilarly, one young man admits: ‘The root of my whole problem with masturbation boiled down to what I put in my mind. I would watch TV programs that included immorality and in some cases watch programs on cable TV that would show nudity. Such scenes are so shocking that they stay with you. They would surface again in my mind, providing the mental fuel needed to engage in masturbation.’\n\nYes, often it is what one reads, watches, or listens to, as well as what one talks about or meditates on, that triggers masturbation. As one 25-year-old woman confessed: “I just couldn’t seem to stop the habit. However, I used to read romance novels, and this contributed to the problem.”\n\nThis young woman’s experience reveals what is undoubtedly the greatest reason why the habit can be so hard to break. She continues: “Usually I masturbated to release pressure, tension, or anxiety. That fleeting pleasure was like the drink the alcoholic takes to calm his nerves.”\n\nResearchers Suzanne and Irving Sarnoff write: “For some people masturbation may become a habit to which they turn for solace whenever they are rebuffed or feel apprehensive about something. Others, however, may withdraw in this way only occasionally, when they are under the most acute emotional stress.” Evidently, others similarly resort to the habit when upset, depressed, lonely, or under much stress; it becomes a “tranquilizer” to blot out th

No it is  not at all harmful. Why three times a week you can even do it thrice a day, if you can. See the benifits of Masterbatation -\n\nMasturbation is the manual excitation of the sexual organs, usually to the point of orgasm. It can refer to excitation either by oneself or by another. It is part of a larger set of activities known as autoeroticism which also includes the use of sex toys and non-genital stimulation. There are also masturbation machines used to simulate intercourse. Masturbation and sexual intercourse are the two most common sexual practices, but they are not mutually exclusive. Some people are able to achieve orgasm only through masturbation and not sexual intercourse.\n\nBenefits\nIt is held in many mental health circles that masturbation can relieve depression and lead to a higher sense of self-worth (Hurlbert & Whittaker, 1991). 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\nOn July 16, 2003, an Australian research team led by Graham Giles of The Cancer Council published a medical study [2] 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 ejaculation through sexual intercourse because intercourse can transmit diseases that may increase the risk of cancer instead.\n\nMasturbation is also seen as a sexual technique that protects individuals from the risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS. Support for such a view, and for making it part of the American sex education curriculum led to the dismissal of US Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders during the Clinton administration.\n\nSome people actually consider masturbation as a cardiovascular workout.[10] And while doctors have no proof of this actually being true, those suffering from cardiovascular disorders (particularly those recovering from myocardial infarction, or heart attacks) should resume physical activity (including sexual intercourse and masturbation) gradually and with the frequency and rigor in which their physical status will allow. Some doctors will advise those recovering from heart attacks to resume sexual activity (solitary or with a partner) when one is able to climb two flights of stairs without experiencing shortness of breath or chest pain-

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

Actually, it is all mind over matter.  You have to be strong in mind, set your mind to it and take it one day at a time.\n\nHere are steps you can take on top of reducing masturbation frequency:\n\n1. Reduce the intake of hormone-polluted beef and dairy products. Red meat traps too much hormone-polluted blood. Instead, bring more seafood and poultry into your diet. \n\n2. Eat more seeds, nuts, and soybeans, which contain L-arginine (the natural growth-hormone agents) and Isoflavones (the plant estrogen for anti-cancers and tumor hormones and the liver function enhancers), to help cool down the prostate. Shrinking your prostate will have wonderful effects on your body and can aid in stopping a hair loss pattern. \n\n3. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits for more anti-cancerous and tumor plant hormones and anti-oxidants/vitamins/minerals. You can even try taking a multi-vitamin/mineral to get the antioxidant group into your dietary habits. Notable vitamins are C, E, A, and notable herbs that promote blood circulation are ginseng and ginkgo biloba. \n\n4. Participate in more outdoor activities to communicate with nature and exercise more to consume testosterone in the muscles of the body, rather than burn it into DHT. Try jogging or even taking a brisk walk. Any kind of physical activity is much better for your body than sitting around in front of a TV, especially if you don’t normally move around much.
