What are the advantages and disadvantages of Mastrubation?

Question:

Answers:
I don't believe there are any disadvantages. The advantages would be relieving stress or blue balls, helping to be able to concentrate, etc.

you get pleasure then it ends right away

advantage: u get all those urges out and feel relaxed, calm, controlled

disadvantage: its sticky, u may get caught, gets on stuff

advantages of masturbation is you feel and little pressure lifted off of you disadvantages are it's not enough. you still need some good stimulation, if you know what i mean.

I don't see any disadvantages unless you become excessive with it. It's the safest sex there is!

it depends. if your a girl there are studies that say that even infant and fetal girls masturbate but you could possibly injure yourself if your to hard on things down there. but the advantages for girls are that it feels good. As far as guys go if you do it to much you can cause a hormonal problem *ie acne or even cysts *had a friend that had a real problem with mastubating and developed cysts on his nipples. but he did it 6 or 7 times a day* but on the plus side it can help you gain control and increase your stamina *ie getting your self to the point where you would orgasm and making yourself stop* but it also lets you get to know yourself better. *this is true for females and males* everything in moderation i say. its something natural that shouldn't be something your ashamed of its your body. But as far as the moral reprocutions go that totally up to your upbringing and religous background. For example my family has always said that there is nothing shameful of masturbation its just something you should keep to yourself. Don't be afraid of your own body. hope this was the kinda answer you were looking for :)

It is good to release tension, pressure, and even just to feel good about yourself.
Mastrubation has been shown to help "clean out" the prostrate.

However, mastrubation can be addictive and furthermore, mastrubation when combined with pornography, can desensitize you to healthy relationships with real people.

You can remain a virgin, no stds, no pregnancies. Disadvantages: not as fun as sex.lol

Connection between ejaculation frequency and prostate health
http://www.goaskalice.columbia.edu/4961..

QUESTION:
I 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 used to daily +, I often have the urge to do it even more, but hold back. Are there any physical problems with over ejaculating?

ANSWER:
What a fabulous New Year’s resolution to pay attention to your body! Your efforts are worth applauding, as being in tune with yourself and your new masturbation schedule seems to have paid off, as you note that you feel “balanced” and “much better for it.” Happily, no physical problems are associated with over-ejaculating, so don’t worry about giving in to the natural urge to enjoy and pleasure yourself more often. You clearly have a strong awareness of the positive effects of masturbation on your body, so go ahead and experiment with masturbation frequency – in this way, you can determine what frequency feels best for you and your regular routine.

You also ask why people aren’t made aware of the “need” to masturbate often. Good question – especially in light of the study’s findings that frequent ejaculation helps reduce the risk of prostate cancer. Unfortunately, self-stimulation – as with most sexual acts – is often viewed as shameful, dirty, immoral, and all sorts of other negative adjectives. Wouldn’t it be great if masturbation could be seen as the healthy, enjoyable, and beneficial activity it really is, openly talked about and (gasp!) endorsed? Perhaps one day it will be – with more people like you who are open-minded and bold enough to talk about it in a positive light.

Enjoy – and pass that article along to friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, and anybody and everybody else!

MASTURBATION MYTHS:
from http://www.jackinworld.com/library/myths.

Chances 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.

MYTH:
Masturbation causes hair to grow on your palms.
FACT:
How many people with hair on their palms have you seen?
MYTH:
Masturbation causes hair loss, chronic fatigue, and other problems.
FACT:
Internet 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.
MYTH:
Masturbation is bad for your eyesight.
FACT:
Masturbation does not affect eyesight. This myth probably originated because boys often start having to wear glasses at about the same age they start masturbating.
MYTH:
Masturbation causes your penis to stop growing (or) to get bigger.
FACT:
Masturbation has no effect on penis size whatsoever.
MYTH:
Masturbation causes your testicles to shrink.
FACT:
Absolutely 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.
MYTH:
Masturbation causes acne.
FACT:
It 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.
MYTH:
Masturbation causes sexually transmitted diseases.
FACT:
Hello? "Sexually transmitted" means from one person to another. You can't give yourself a sexually transmitted disease!
MYTH:
If you masturbate too much, you'll run out of semen and become sterile.
FACT:
Semen 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.
MYTH:
People can tell whether you masturbate by how your penis looks.
FACT:
Masturbation does not change the appearance of your penis. (It does tend to cause an erection, but that usually goes away when you're finished.)

Masturbation Frequency:
http://www.jackinworld.com/misc/faqtree1.

How often does the average male masturbate?
It depends on a lot of factors, the most important being age. For an 18-year-old male, a rough average is once a day or so. This is slightly higher for younger teenagers — maybe 10 or 12 times a week, and slightly lower for older people. You might be surprised by how often adult men masturbate — even happily married men.

I think I'm addicted to masturbation. Is that possible?
It is, although many, many people think they're addicted when they're really just doing what comes naturally. For more on this topic, read the article Is Masturbation Addictive?(http://www.jackinworld.com/library/artic.

How can I masturbate less often, or quit altogether?
It's tough; it takes a lot of will power. It can be done, especially if you're driven by very strong religious feelings. However, JackinWorld's position is that it's not worth it. We think you should enjoy the harmless pleasures your body can provide.

HOw old are you have you done it or are you trying to decide if you should?

Why do you ask about it?

this is a conservative approach to the question.

DO you beleive ther eis a GOd. Do you belevie he created you nd ahs a special interest in you as an individual?

Sex is something God created. He made it and he made it so you could have great pleasure throughit.

God would not create such a compelling and pleasurable activity without providing you with a great way to satisfy it.

the way he wants to do that is that you should have one sexual partner for your life. I believe that becasue God likes yo so much and loves you so much he made one person who if you wait for her and have your first sex with her and only ever have sex with her that you will get the best long term sexual life and the best all around life.

IF you mary the person God made form you you willhave less fights and problems than if you married someone else than that special person made to fit your personality and that you were made to fit hers.

Life is hard to be successful in. It is wise to give ytourself all tha advantages.

ONe great adantage you can give yourself is safety fomr AIDS And STD'd ( sexually transmitted diseases) another thing you can gove your self is to spend the next years focusing your sexula life and interests on this idea that if you wait for this one person and seek to have ll your sexual desires satisfued through this one perosn that this will be a great life and it will be a great reward for you to follow that way.
In order for it to work youneed to have a strong faith that GOd does exist and that he cares for you and that he loves you so much that he h=both gave you this great way to have a really great pleasure many times for 50 or 60 years, and tht the best way to enjoyit will be to do it with that one person made especilly for you.

Almost every person who has sex or thinks about it thinks about it in terms of Oh you are so wonderful and you are my only one and you are my best one and I want to love ytou s i lloved no onther perosn. You can not have sex with more thatn one perosn and then ever say that again. Yo will be a liar.

If you focus on this idea you will never cheat on your wife and she will never sheat on you.

Your apporaich to sex will be much more healthy that the approach most in our society take.

Those who belevie what I am speaking about realize they must respond to sexual motivation by using it to make them work hard and prepare themself hard in mind and psirit and character so that they could be the best possible husband to that specasil perosn GOd made to be their wife.

If you woudl accept the idea andbeleive that there is a gGod who locves you and that this God made you and gave you the ability to enjoy an orgasm so that you coudl be thrilled in a very exciting way and if you can belevie that the same GOd who made that also gave you one safe and satisfying way to get this pleasure fulfilled you will establish healthy expectatinos for yourself and build yourself the sort of character that wil help you to have the best possible life.
You are welcomed to email for a discussion back and forth to help you get more ideas and to support you in trying to do this.

You will get erections and you will masturbates some . BUt not very much. If you think of this idea tht God loves you and that is why you are able to do this and if you develop in you the idea that every way of having an ograsm is disgusting except when it is accomplished by you being together with the special wife GOd made for you you will establish an expectaino that GOd will be sure you have satisfued.

the popular idea that you should fantacize about whoever or whatever you want and dream or fantacize about whatever girl comes to your mind is to set yourself up for disapointment and to establish fantacies that you can never fulfill. Then you have to keep getting more and more of them. That is the way the human mind works ointhat subject.

However if you set up in your mind the habit of thinking that their is one special perosn for you and all other person it would be disgusting to even ever have them touch your privates then you will be desirein to have a wife and be satisfied in your orgasms when she and you accomplsh them together.

YOu will satisfy the desires of your heart and you will be pleased and so will GOd.

He gave you virginiity and you should save it and give it to the wife he made for oyu.

Busy yourself so you can bve the best possible husband to that wife and God will see your faith and be pleased by it. Faith is pleasing to GOd. (Faith means that you beleive that GOd will satisfy your needs and desires if you trust in hiom to do so.)

Every human being has hundreds of thousands of different microbes in their sexual parts of their body.

Whe you join your parts with anyone else's you pick up many new germs that were never in your body. ( The one;s youhave coem form your parents.)

If you do not have sex till you marry then the only ones that get joined are the germs in your body and your wife's they are the only ones you pass down to your children and their children forever.

That makes it harder for what ever diseases or deformities those germs might be bale to cause to be passed down to your descendents.

Be a responsible person with your sexuality and keep it for yourself and your family and do not share it with everyone.

The first time you have sex with anouthe person somehting happens in your brain. If you wait for a wife and anticipate it and if you prepare yourself to be the best husband in the mean time whenyou and your wife have their first sex that will cement your relation ship together. You will experience sex in a way anyone who had sex before marriage can never go abck to and experience.

In several serious surveys tha have been done Those who have had sex with only their wives ( or husbands) and never with anyone else report the best all around sexual experiences for their lifetimes than those who did other wise.

Masturbating has some benefits. But not many. It has some negetive side effects. It can slow down or prevent full growth. It can create emotional problems. It can seem to help you relieve stress unless you reqalize it is sahmeful to do then it will release some stress and make new stresses worse than the other.

Not every boy in the world masturbates and some answering these questions asume.
sex is not supposed to be som edirty shameful thing. It is supposed to be a wonderful thing that helps you realize how ery much God loves you and cares about you.

That happens best when it is done in the way I have explained here.

there are some who say that when you have an orgasm a piece of your soul gets broken of and goes wioht the perosn you are having the orgasm with. Then one wonders what happens when on e masturbates.

MOst important sex takes place in your mind more than in your body. If and when you masturbate it is your mind that creates the mystique and much of the ideas that make itrmore or less pleasant.

Mopst of the love songs and poems that humans have written speak often of love in terms of two persons faithfull and wholey loving eac other and exclusively.

SOme wonder they could get teh wrong mate. Those are those who do not sincerely believe there is a God who has made a special mate for them.

A very wise manin the bible makes it clear that there are three sexes not two. MAles females and eunuchs. Western humans do not understand eunuchs at all.
Many who end up thinking they are interested in their same sex are perosn God intends to be eunuchs.
They would have littel or no interest in sex. Masturbationg might not even be interesting to them. NOt becasue they can not do it but becasue they just don ot appreciate it as much as those who GOd made a mate for. Eunuchs who are saved will enjoy some sort of a special blessing in heaven than those who had spouses and gave up or lost their sexual virginity.

When you do masturbate you r mind and thoughts and fantacies are gogin to then sort of develope your sexual life.

It is very important for you to be in charge of whaat those fantacies to be. If you try to masturbate with out fantacies it is not such a great pleasure. Ther is the pyhisicla pleasure but also the emotional and or societal pleasure.

If GOd made a special person to be your wife. Do oyu want others to be abusing her before youmeet and marry? Do you want a used wife? No you do not. Don;t you already love teh person God has made who lives on this earth and will be your wife. Should she wait till she is married toyou to have sex? Of course she should you would say. thenyou should do the same.

Sex books pornography are wrong to use. Any sort of pornography will harm you and do you no help.

It willset up for you desires to have sex withthe pictures you see. They are not your wife. THis starts a slippery slope that you look for so oftenn at someone and then get tired of her nd go to anoutehr. In fact you casnnot be satisfued naturally form that perosn because you can never meet them or mrry themn or have sex with them.

Make your own picture of the wife you want. Is her outward beauty more important than her character and her personality?

Who do you want to be the mother of your children and your grand children?

Who do you want to have in yuor old age having sex with you and being gentle and kind to you and you to her?

Have you ever had a wet dream? If you nevere masturbate you will have more of them more often than if you do.

Mastubtion makes you lose zinc and zinc is vital for health since we have a defficiency of zinc in our diet we are not in the best health. Among other things a zinc defficiency casues or agrivates acne.

Biggest question. Why do youlike to masturbate?

Why?

Can you explain it honestly to your self?

email me with the answer to that question or say I doon;t know if you cannot put it in words and I will see if I can email you back with what Might be the reason and possibly if you answeer that question you might break the common experience of thinking about doing it ad then sayin g no I am not going to do it. I am going tobe incharge of when I do it and not have my body or my random thoughts or experiences dictate when I am going to do it.
Many end up debating that idea for a period and then ending up masturbating. Then sort of being disapointed withthemself for their lack of self control.

The best reason not to masturbate is becaseu the less often you have orgasms the more pleasureable and exciting the ones you dohave tend to be. That is due to physioligical reasons.

Over the years on these question and answer formats many have emailed me with specific questions and I hope we have helped many tobe in charge of their own sexuality and to practice safe life long rewarding sexual practices.

The internet can be a way you ruin yourself sexually or it can be a way for the old fashioined safe and encoiuraging ideas I am sharing to be lerned and passed on. When we all knew waht I am saying here ther were far fewer divorces. People were safer and happier. Sex was much more fulfilling than it is to those who have too muchof thier personal lives fixed on a sexual addiction.

<asturbating can casue you to form sexual addictions adn that can lead to anti social behavior and will probably lead to more aand more anti-social behavior that in times afects you.

Look at all those being found to be child molesters and rapists.

Look at all the disatisfaction in sex that is spoken about and that is casued by too much too foten in persons who have not really grown up yet. ''The teen age years are a time you are supposed to learn to be responsible with your sex and your lives." a teen is too young to have sex bvecasue physiological things happen and they ruin future sex for that perosn. THis is well established as a scientific fact.

ON the onther hand masturbating and then feeling ashamed is not healthy either.
If you want to talk or councel oon this feel freee to email me.
Howere the best perosn you should talk to abou tthis is your parents. They had you. Helping their teen to embrace and enjoy their sex life is a very special poarent child thing. Those of us who are parents deserve to get the chace to teach our children about it and to be asked those questions like the one you are asking today. Unfortuantely few children and parents have the sort of relationship where they can dothat. This is casued amnong other things by our societies obsession with this topic and that we have turned a wholesome private activity in to a public spectacle and we have lost our reserve and modesty.

If you go the right way some day you will be a parent and you will be able to teach your children and if you learn the rioght way and learn the Love of God you willhave a set of ideas that are encouraging and uplifting and you can teach your children how to lkive in a correct way.

What do yoou think about Masturbatino? Do you like to do it?
Are you ashamed if you do? Are there worries?

Why do you think you like to do it?
Are there times YOu just feel compelled to do it?
when is that in the ocurs eof your life?

advantages are that it feels great! and the disadvantages are that you don't have a friend to do it with...
