Masturbation - \n\nIt is not a sin. it is one way of enjoying sex by oneself with out going to any other person of the opposite gender.  God will not mind if you Masturbate as he is now aware of what is masturbation and your will be doing it in the bathroom or in a separate room with doors closed. \n\nIt will not hurt anyone as you are not going to  beat anyone with your action. Secondly you are not going to do it in front of others. So why worry. i find your worry is baseless and there is nothing harm to do it.  \n\nNow you should know something about Mastubation. What is it?Masturbation 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 (see mutual masturbation). 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 (for example, many people find the sight of their partner masturbating highly erotic). Some people are able to achieve orgasm only through masturbation and not sexual intercourse.\n\n[edit] Benefits\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. 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-.

According to literature, it stimulates the prostate in men and the back side of the clitoris in women.  Some people just like it because it's "bad" or "dirty".

Are you sure this is seminal leakage?\n\nSometimes there can be too much of a good thing. For many young men, masturbating creates more problems than it solves; it doesn’t make them grow hair on their palms, but too-frequent ejaculation can cause youthful impotence and seminal leakage. \n\nUnder most circumstances, masturbation is neither good nor bad—and one recently published study reported that 87% of women and 95% of men have practiced masturbation—but when done to extreme, it causes drastic changes in brain and body chemistry. Masturbating too much can over-stimulate acetylcholine/parasympathetic nervous functions and disrupt the liver’s release of enzymes that synthesize neurotransmitters acetylcholine, dopamine, and serotonin. Additionally, the liver’s ability to release enzymes that aid in hormone production is affected. As a result, the brain and adrenal glands produce too much dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine, and other hormones and neural transmitters.\n\nSymptoms that over-masturbation (also called Sexual Exhaustion) is distressing liver and nervous system functions include youthful impotence/erectile dysfunction (including a soft or weak erection) and seminal leakage. While more than 30% of men have experienced impotence at one time or another, impotence in youth is more rare and can often be attributed to the above factors.

Nothing really. If you're curious, go ahead, but I strongly suggest that you should resist the temptation to continue doing it. I'm sure you know that it's very bad for you, in many different ways.

• Masturbation is not bad for your health. It won’t make you go blind, insane, or bald, give you spots, stunt your growth, or turn you into a pervert.\n\n• Masturbation can be good for you as it helps relieve stress. It also causes your body to release endorphins (pleasure hormones) which make you more chilled-out.\n\nFormal info, I don't know, but follow the BBC link below:

Masterbatin sounds like something you'd find at a pharmacy. Masturbation has no effect on the length, width, or girth of your penis. Studies have proven this. And it doesnt make you go blind either ;)

Ways of masturbating common to members of both sexes include pressing or rubbing the genital area, either with the fingers or against an object such as a pillow; inserting fingers or an object into the anus (see anal masturbation); and stimulating the penis or vulva/clitoris with electric vibrators, which may also be inserted into the vagina or anus. Members of both sexes may also enjoy touching, rubbing, or pinching the nipples or other erogenous zones while masturbating. Both sexes sometimes use lubricating substances to intensify sensation.\n\nReading or viewing pornography, or sexual fantasy, are often common adjuncts to masturbation. Masturbation activities are often ritualized. Various fetishes and paraphilias can also play a part in the masturbation ritual; potentially harmful or fatal activities include auto erotic asphyxiation and self-bondage.

There shouldnt be. In fact, it is better than having sex to get the orgasm you need if you are not yet married.I've heard that if man masturbates too much,its bad for their eyesights, possibly due to the too much flow of Vit.A from the sperm. But as for women, they dont release like the men. But try not to do it too often because anything done in excess is bad.

Masturbating may protect against prostate cancer\n\nIt will make you go blind. It will make your palms grow hairy. Such myths about masturbation are largely a thing of the past. But the latest research has even better news for young men: frequent self-pleasuring could protect against the most common kind of cancer.\n\nA team in Australia led by Graham Giles of The Cancer Council Victoria in Melbourne asked 1079 men with prostate cancer to fill in a questionnaire detailing their sexual habits, and compared their responses with those of 1259 healthy men of the same age. The team concludes that the more men ejaculate between the ages of 20 and 50, the less likely they are to develop prostate cancer.\n\nSee rest of article at link below

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!

Masturbation is definitely a healthy sexual activity. It is one way for you to enjoy your own body, and to give yourself sexual pleasure. It can also tune you in to your own sexual likes and dislikes. You then have the choice of sharing that information with a sexual partner to enhance a sexual relationship. Mutual masturbation, when two people masturbate in front of each other, can also be arousing, and is a great alternative to intercourse without the risk of transmission of sexually transmitted diseases or risk of pregnancy.\n\n\nMasturbation is a perfectly healthy activity, whether a person is female or male. Although some people may worry that masturbation is harmful, it actually is one of the body's most effective ways to relieve stress.\n\nIt is too bad that so many people worry about masturbation. The majority of girls and boys masturbate. In fact, women and men masturbate throughout their lives, whether or not they are in sexual relationships with other people. But because masturbation is so misunderstood, the majority of people who masturbate have unnecessary guilty feelings and shame about it. This shame and guilt can lead to difficulties in a person's sense of self-esteem and in a person's relationships with other people.\n\nWhile many religious leaders teach that masturbation or any other sexual activity outside of marriage is sinful, it is entirely a matter of personal belief. Their claims that masturbation is physically and emotionally dangerous for young people, however, have no basis in fact.

You could masturbate the entire day and it wouldn't hurt.  You'd be tired, but it wouldn't cause any problems beside that.  Do it as many times as you feel comfortable with.  There's no shame in it.

MASTURBATION MYTHS:\nfrom http://www.jackinworld.com/library/myths.html\n\nChances are, of all the things you've heard about masturbation, most of them were absolutely false. For some reason, misinformation surrounds masturbation like virtually no other topic. How do you spot a masturbation myth? One simple method is to ask yourself if the statement is also true of sexual intercourse. When you're masturbating, your body only knows it's getting sexually stimulated; it doesn't know by what means. So, for instance, if the question is whether or not masturbation causes acne, think of it this way: If it did, intercourse would also cause acne. In fact, neither masturbation nor intercourse cause acne.\n\nMYTH:\nMasturbation causes hair to grow on your palms.\nFACT:\nHow many people with hair on their palms have you seen?  \nMYTH:\nMasturbation causes hair loss, chronic fatigue, and other problems.\nFACT:\nInternet scam artists have tried to invent a concept called "overmasturbation," insisting that you have to buy their expensive herbal pills in order to counteract the effect of masturbating more than a couple of times per week. But the pills have absolutely no effect — and masturbating once or twice a day will not make your hair fall out, or cause anything else they claim.\nMYTH:\nMasturbation is bad for your eyesight. \nFACT:\nMasturbation does not affect eyesight. This myth probably originated because boys often start having to wear glasses at about the same age they start masturbating. \nMYTH:\nMasturbation causes your penis to stop growing (or) to get bigger. \nFACT:\nMasturbation has no effect on penis size whatsoever. \nMYTH:\nMasturbation causes your testicles to shrink.\nFACT:\nAbsolutely false! It is true that if you're highly aroused, your testicles become engorged with blood and may appear slightly larger and heavier, and that masturbating will make them revert to normal. But they will absolutely not be any smaller than after the last time you masturbated. \nMYTH:\nMasturbation causes acne. \nFACT:\nIt doesn't cause acne. Like the eyesight myth, this is a case of two things that happen at the same time, even though one doesn't cause the other. \nMYTH:\nMasturbation causes sexually transmitted diseases. \nFACT:\nHello? "Sexually transmitted" means from one person to another. You can't give yourself a sexually transmitted disease! \nMYTH:\nIf you masturbate too much, you'll run out of semen and become sterile. \nFACT:\nSemen is a fully renewable resource. When you ejaculate semen, your body simply makes more — the same way your body makes more saliva after you spit. \nMYTH:\nPeople can tell whether you masturbate by how your penis looks. \nFACT:\nMasturbation does not change the appearance of your penis. (It does tend to cause an erection, but that usually goes away when you're finished.) \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------\n\nConnection between ejaculation frequency and prostate health \nhttp://www.goaskalice.columbia.edu/4961.html\n\nQUESTION:\nI have been coming across articles on the connection between masturbation, ejaculation, and overall health. I was very surprised about this article from the Cancer Council Victoria in Australia . It was a study that confirmed that ejaculation frequency is important for a healthy prostate. The protective effect was most significant in men in their twenties who ejaculated on average 7 or more times per week. It compared this against same-age men who ejaculated less than 3 times per week. I made a New Year's resolution to pay attention to my body and to ejaculate at least once a day. I feel much better for it and my penis strength and sexual urge has increased immensely. I feel balanced. After a year, I can't imagine going back to my old repressed frequency and probably couldn?t keep from cumming for a whole day if I tried now. Why aren?t people made aware of this need? After getting
