RE: Is too much masturbation harmful?

Hi MC29mc,

I think that you will find that once a day is probably the norm, in a young male and therefore thanks to evolution, probably not harmful.

With regards to the cancer question, it is probably much healthier to ejaculate daily than abstinence would be, as large numbers of sperm is produced to be ejaculated. You will find naturally with age (unfortunately) that the production will slow down and therefore the desire will also decrease in relation.

The way in which ejaculating manually daily could be a problem is if it prevents you from finding a partner to have normal relations with.

The only other thing to watch out for is as the penis grows with constant exercise, that it does not become distorted in one direction or the other. As can be seen in a male porn star, you can see if he is right or left handed if you get me meaning.

Regards,
JC

you'll go blind[:-] lol

once every 2 days is best.

don't forget to take a multi-vitamin supplement if you are at it all the time.

If you don't own an ergonomic keybaord, then buy one! This will help prevent repetitive strain disorder in your wrist, more commonly known as w*nkers cramp.

Better to get your girlfriend to do it for you, she can also check your balls for testiculer cancer at the same time! More fun that way!!

I certainly hope not!! Esp. if it is more than once a day sometimes!!

I don't think it's harmful but as in everything, doing things in moderation is better.

Its not directly harmful, but it can impact your ability to engage in other activities....

This is beyond mere calorific counts - so, as an example, footballers are warned off sex prior to a big game, boxers are warned off as they are preparing for a match...same goes for other sports as well as more advanced spiritual endeavours. Theres no doubt that one gets an 'edge' from retaining that particular type of energy - that edge can then be used for other things - its not a rational 1+1=2 equation, theres things at play that are not well understood...however, this (retaining) in extreme can lead to too much tension, angst and frustration... 😮 😉

Healthy diet will help compensate for any excesses! Lets not forget that the very special mix produced on ejaculation is like 'the best youve got' for reproductive/creative endeavour - if youre gonna spend it randomly be prepared to top up your nutrient levels and possibly feel shortchanged for a few days (unless your a peaking 18-24 yr old) in other areas (sports or and some creative/spiritual practices)...

As someone else said, its very much about moderation, but I would second the statements that it also depends on age.... in a young man, a daily release, or even more than once daily depending on where he is in his testosterone cycle (male equivalent of a menstrual cycle) is not unusual, or unhealthy IMHO. In older men, it will depend on where they are in there testoterone cycle - if its peaking, he may not notice any other effect, if hes not, he may feel lower energy levels for a few days or even be disinterested in it at all (and other things for that matter).

One things for sure - its something that has taken a bad rap over the years (some saying that circumcision was introduced as a way to stop boys from 'doing it' in the days before easy access to lotions/lubricants etc :rolleyes:), when really, if boys didnt engage in it, there'd be WAY more fights, rapes, and other nasty expressions of over-pumped frustrated maleness to the extent our society would be nothing like what it is now! Masturbation has quite possibly saved humanity from an earlier self-destruction from howling young rampant lions....:p

so...ummm...have fun? 😀

For the spiritually/personal developmentally inclined... : Learning to MANAGE that energy, and that impulse/urge/desire, is something that becomes part of a more developed... spiritual path, as one tries to manage the energy and direct it from the second centre (the first creative centre) to the higher equivalent (the second creative centre, the throat - hence the growth of similar hair in both regions in males). This is filled with challenges and shouldnt really be consciously worried about until its something where youve REALLY begun to notice the energetic effects and want to work with it. It is, however, something filled with rewards of new heights, for self and partner for those who do go down that route (this is the basis behind the essence of sexual tantric practice which has received so much misinformation its almost not even worth mentioning).

I think if to much was harmful alot of guys would have found out by now!!

:DI can't see to read the post's and my wrists ache,:D but i love it every day, even if it is sometimes assisted.:034:

PS to pinch a phrase.

Age does not weary me although the years may condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning it still remembers to rise to great me.

Too much or excess of everything is bad. I dont think you should do that excessively as sperm takes a lot from out body to form and also one need to have healthy diet to make it back to our body.

Masturbation is not harmful and is actually very healthy for teenagers and older ones as well. Masturbating once a day is not so much for a teenagers considering that their sexual hormones are raging.

The reason you lost weight doesn’t lie in masturbation although some weakness could occur slightly after masturbation or if you do it more than once a day.

Regular ejaculations will make you weaker (esp the kidneys), however, if you learn how to lift your sexual energy up the spine, that's when you se Heaven 🙂 It's the practice of many that's got to know Tantra or Taoistic philosophy.

Why is ejaculation so important to us men? Because in that fraction of a second we experience something greater then us. Too bad it's just a second (that's why we do it often). With Tantra it's possible to prolong that experience.

Enjoy!

I wouldn't be too concerned. Most teen guys masturbate fairly regularly. It is something you will grow out of when the time is right... Not completely though. I think most guys still enjoy the odd one...
