• 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:

M@asterbating?\n\nNo physical effect except for relief.  No, you won't grow hair on your palms, lol

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?

Nope, it doesn't! Masturbation causes no adverse health effects at all- in fact, it's rather good for you! It's a fabulous way to relieve stress!\n\nThink about it this way: masturbation is pretty much exactly the same as sex when it comes to the way your body acts and reacts. If masturbation caused health problems then sex would too!

Masturbating does not cause the body to become weak or you to become blind. It keeps you safe until the right person comes along.

No this is not true.  Whoever told you this probably was trying to scare you out of having sex.  Parents tell children/ teens that if they have sex that their hair will fall out, or that there arm will fall off...\n\nBut there is absolutely no connection with butts getting bigger and sex.  Your butt however may get bigger if you ingest to much fat, sit on the couch forever and never exercise.

The only thing masturbating does in terms of your weight is expel a wee bit of fluid out of you once or twice a day. And even if you didn't masturbate, you would still lose it through wet dreams or other means. So given it is such a minor amount and weighs so little I don't see how it is goign to affect your overall body weight unless you are one tiny person.\n\nIn reality masturbation on a daily basis does nothing to interfere with exercising or gaining weight. It feels good, keeps your equipment tuned up, reduces the risk of prostate cancer and even allows you to get in touch with yourself in terms of sexual feelings. But it won;t cause you to lose or gain weight or otherwise be detrimental to working out at the gym.

It has been scientifically and clinically proven that masturbation does in no way what so ever do any bodily harm!!\n\nThat's an old wives tale, to keep boys from masturbating, and to save parents from the humiliation of walking in on them.

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-.

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.

No, normal masturbation will not harm you, regardless of m/f, nor will it hurt your children.  It is natural and has proven health benefits.

Well, consider this: a man loses a third of his RDA of zinc with every ejaculation.  Zinc deficiency can lead to lowered testosterone and irritability.  Also, on a psychological level, too much masturbation can isolate you socially, both because you spend too much time alone and because you can become known as that guy who jerks off all the time.  \n\nAt the same time, masturbation makes you less likely to get prostate cancer and allows you to be more comfortable with your sexuality and body in general.  Just keep it to a reasonable level and you'll be fine.

Yes, the excessive masturbation always affects adversely on sperm production. But you can replenish the sperm by eating oysters, meat, eggs, and drink a lot of milk.

Both 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\nMore information\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.

No way! Working out with weights will not stunt your growth. Being 5'2" at 15 is no big deal...Most males shoot up between 14 and 18...No need to worry! Keep lifting...it will help you from packing on unwanted pounds around your middle when you do hit your growth spurt!
