Masturbation Do it or not questions & Answers

 Hi, GUYS...

Here I am to answer many questions that I usually encounter with. And some of the facts and myths.

1) Masturbation is a bad thing and is it not healthy? : It is wrong. It is not a bad thing. It even helps to relieve stress, releases endorphins which give natural pain relief and puts you in a good mood. It helps to keep the sexual urges at check and prevents one from doing any wrong activities. It is self pleasure and does not require another person to aid in it. Many persons even get relief in their headache or other pains by doing masturbation. 

But it is not always the case. As us humans have habit of abusing all the good things, we don't spare this also. Many young boys and even men get into the habit of doing it every day and even to an extreme of 3-4-5 times in a day. This is harmful. Semen is also considered a vital fluid and loss of semen too often causes weakness. It also drains lots of energy and that's why many people start feeling weak, low, depressed etc..

2) Whether one should do masturbation or not?: It is completely an individual choice and mainly depends on their sexual desires. If the desire starts to get to a boiling point then it is good to relieve now and then. It is absolutely ok and there is no harm in it. But never do it as an escape for other emotions. Like many people starts doing it whenever they feel stressed, or depressed. It is not a solution. It will just divert your mind for a time being. Also, if you start doing it too often and form a habit of doing it too often then, it is again a point of stress.

3) What age is right to start masturbation?: While there is no standard age suggestions for masturbation, it can be done as soon as one starts to feel sexual arousal. There are persons started masturbation at the age of  10 years or earlier. Ideally it is too early. As these are the formative and developing years of life where you grow both psychologically and physically. At this age one does not understand the meaning of excess and many times falls into a habit of doing too often as it simply gives pleasure and initially one does not feel any bad effects. Better to avoid such habits until 17-18 years or even later.

4) What is the right method of masturbation: There are no text book methods, most of the male prefer to massage their penis with their hands but many find pleasure in rubbing the penis against an object like bed, or with the bedsheet or pillow... either way is ok. As long as you are happy. 

5) How many times is normal?: Again I hate to give an ambiguous answer, but there are no right or medical range fixed for normal numbers. Here also general rule of anything in excess in poisonous rule apply. Also it depends on individual's health, stamina, lifestyle, diet etc,. And my advise is to keep as lesser as possible in frequency.

6) What bad effects one suffers from masturbation?: This answer comes from experience of many patients. Excessive masturbation can lead to various problems some of which are, premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, complete failure of erection, hair fall, excessive hair growth on body, depression, weakness both physical and sexual. Many patients suffer from peyronie's disease also.

7) Is religiously wrong to do masturbation?: While it completely depends on the specific belief of the religion and their teachings. And I will not be able to right answer for that. But, as a personal advise I will say, if you are not harming anyone there is nothing wrong in it.

That's it boys.. I guess I have answered to many questions and to best of my knowledge. In case I have missed any or if you have any personal questions, you can write in the comment section.
