I think there is a crucial difference of perception of health benefits based on the behavior of the individual.

If someone never did it, I would say they would be healthier to do it.

For men jerking off twice a day, I would not say "good for you! You must be getting so healthy!"

I'll tell you something shocking: I didn't start jerking until I was 22. Not that I was a prude, I just didn't feel the urge to do it. I had wet dreams before then and my dick would just cum by itself. As late as 2005, I was still having wet dreams. Now I hardly have one anymore since I had started masturbating more regularly. Now I kinda miss wet dreams.

That is quite suprising Timmy84! Didn't you get curious and try to touch it before?

I 'discovered' it at age 15, when my friends told me about it, they had started it earlier than me, say 12/13. I'd played a bit with it but never brought myself to orgasm, figured I was too young and couldn't yet.

I then had a wet dream and for me that was exciting if a little inconvenient!

The first time i properly came was from dry humping when viewing a porn magazine. It felt good prob one of my best ever.

Since then i have been doing it manually (when not with an actual female lol) and never really had wet dreams.

As to safety, everything in moderation. Scientific studies say different things but I recent one I read is that its good as if sperm is kept in the body too long it gets damaged by free radicals so it needs emptying (and apart from lack of room this is why you have wet dreams sometimes). I find the more you do it the more you 'recharge' and lust increases and you want to do it and the less you do it the less you need to do it - its like the body adjusts, but it can be a vicious cycle. Moderation is key and if you are red raw then you are doing it too much LOL.

If you are 16-25 say those are the peak years of horniness IMO!

Doing it too much might make you feel tired and will result in weaker erections over time.

I guess most guys can pull off masturbating on a daily basis all the way up to mid-age. What's the right amount for you will have a lot to do with your overall health too. When I was writing my graduation thesis several years ago I spend a lot of time inside just reading and writing. I was also very stressed out during that time and masturbation started to have very negative side-effects. If I did it on a daily basis it resulted in an awful buzzy feeling as feel as in nausea from time to time. I wasn't really having sex with anyone at the time, but of course having sex would have resulted in much of the same.

Having an orgasm demands quite a lot from the body and a continued state of hormonal imbalance(*) can result in diabetes-like symptoms. Several of the problems listed on the top post can be caused and / or aggravated by hormonal imbalance (*). You'd have to whack off quite a lot to have such problems due to whacking off alone, but in combination with other factors it can certainly contribute to such a condition. Another aspect to consider is how used to reaching an orgasm by masturbation you are going to get and will it make it harder for you to get an orgasm during intercourse.

[*edit - this is mostly speculation on my part, don't take it as a medical fact. Normally I would steer away at all costs from using expressions such as "hormonal imbalance" or "chemical imbalance", but for some reason I've ended up using that here (no, I really do dislike those expressions). There are also many other potential explanations for what I describe in the second paragraph - irregular heartbeat / bloodflow during excitation, whatever could be associated with the stress etc.]

Yeah but I decided "forget it". I'm always a late bloomer though.

Maybe that's a good thing. That said, I never got desperate for sex either.

Interesting.

I should emphasize that I was in a bad physical state in overall at that time. It's just that I felt the worst after masturbation (typically 30-45min after it and it could continue for hours). I know that my condition was a combination of different aspects that contributed to it, but I really find those "masturbate as much as you want" comments quite irksome. Even if I can't deem it as the cause of my problems, there was definitely a link between the appearance of the symptoms and the frequency of masturbation (or, rather, having orgasms as a result of that).

When you do some research on this issue on the internet there are plenty of comments that claim that masturbation has no effect on hormonal levels (typically on bodybuilding sites). However, the way the human body responds to these things is far more complicated than just "masturbation decreases your testosterone levels" or "masturbation increases your testosterone levels". There are the short-term and the long-term effects and then there are the aspects of how our bodies react to changes to be taken into account. Testosterone and its derivatives also play a role in such different tasks as helping the body to handle insulin and the regeneration of peripheral nerves.

I don't claim to understand it all, but when I had those problems I did some reading and at least was able to do some changes to my lifestyle and my condition improved (doctors weren't willing to do shit). Those changes went far beyond controlling how many times a week I masturbated, of course.

Timmy...were you a virgin until 22 too or did you have sex before you 'self-discovered'?

Just curious...

Would it have mattered?

^ No, not at all, just interested.

I've said it here and not ashamed to say I'm a virgin.

AGAIN I'm not a prude at all. Just saying.

I'm not totally innocent either as you probably noticed but I'm not desperate for anything be it tits/pussy or dick or whatever lmao

It has been very healthy for me, I started masturbating 7 years ago. I do it at least 5 times a week. It's both emotionally and physically relaxing. Had I not re-visited masturbation I don't think I would enjoy my sex life as much as I do these days. I consider it a part of my weekly activities like eating right, exercising, and self loving~keeps a girl happy!!!

That's fine Timmy84 I know of 2 friends who didn't lose their virginity until they were late twenties.

Are you attracted to both sexes? Sounds like u are.

Same here. Well, I am a guy. But feel the same way.

I'm also at five times a week.

Fair enough...u got that to look forward to but yes lust can be dangerous so I guess its good you are holding out although bet you are curious about the act too aren't u?

Always. Like I said I'm not at all innocent. I've thought about it every now and then. Hell I look at pictures and videos of it most of the time anyways.

I can't remember how, but I discovered "feeling good" by accident on my own when I was about 4, and it all started there, but it was on and off since.

This thread is disgusting.

He said I'm a fucking degenerate who most likely caught a really bad cold. Then he gave me a high five and congratulated me on the twin thing and with his other hand gave me a form he had filled out so I could get tested just to make sure everything's okay.

a trip and a half

IMO masturbation is a disappointment. While the end result is a type of release, which does help to de-stress. The act itself leaves me unfulfilled.

You see I fantasize being in Las Vegas, I've just won much more than a million dollars. I have the money brought to my penthouse suite. The money is in denominations of 50's and 100's and is emptied upon the bed. Jude Law is doing a sexy dance for me. I'm all laying on the bed. There's a giant TV in the room. Prince is singing "Sexy Motherfucker." He's all bare chested and looking sexy as hell. I have on a designer lingerie outfit. It all seems so real.

Then when I come back to my senses and look around the room they aint no money, no Jude Law, no Prince and no Las Vegas. Wheres the justice?

I guess if masturbation did not require a fantasy, I could get into it.

2 solutions:

1) Porn
2) Try fantasizing about more "realistic" things than Jude Law and huge piles of money!
for example: about hot colleagues, in more "normal" situations like sex on the desk, ... Ah what the hell, I'm sure you can handle yourself!
