Is masturbation harmful

[Particulate]

Masturbation is in no way harmful. In fact NOT doing it can cause serious psychological and body-image issues

i disagree doing it too much can also cause issues with your day to day life. In the way that instead of doing something new or learning things in your time your burning it away. Not to mention if you do it too much you may lose the drive to go flirt and get some partner for life ^^.

As is the key with all things in life MODERATION.

If it takes you so much time to Masturbate that you can't accomplish basic life tasks then you should probably seek serious help.

"A real time waster?"

......how many minutes per day is this taking you exactly?

Depends on the goal: whether you are just trying to let one off or feel good. Just like real sex.

Well my personal best was 11 times in one day and a buddy of mine claims 24...personally I couldn't touch myself for a few days after that.
P.S. I average about 2-3 times a day and have an awesome girlfriend but then I am a horny bastard.

Best part, if true, is that you could get away without using a condom, because at this point you are mostly shooting blanks.

All true and I haven't used a condom in years...at this point I shoot about one lonely sperm per ejaculation...

Hmmm im a girl but i masturbate. Ive never seen it as harmful.

Psychologically it's as harmful as you make it.

Physically, there's science to suggest it's actually good for you if you're not getting any actual tail. Apparently regular ejaculation prevents prostate cancer. I should probably step up my regimen...

if it is humanity would have died out long ago

It's not harmful per se but you do have to trim your palm every time afterwards and that makes it quite annoying (not annoying enough to stop me tho)

seriously, anyone who claims that masturbation is harmful should stop eating Kellogg's crapflakes and go fuck themselves. They should try it. It's fun.
The most harm that might be caused by excessive wanking is chafing.

Do you think masturbation can be harmful to your life even though its a natural function(well with a little help) psychologically and how you act socially(primarily interactions with the opposite sex).
How much is too much or often is too often?(how often do you?)
Should you even? for it can be a real time waster.
When does is go from healthy to bad?(in your opinion)


Edit: I never said physically, but do you think youd be better off doing it every now and then than often everyday(like people usually admit to).
Like having more focus than you would on tasks.

NO

that is a lie.avi

the reason being that all religions want to generate a ton of babies born into that religion
so they ban masturbation and ban contraception and ban abortion and ban ( kill ) anyone who harms children
( even though they're annoying little gits that need to be put in their place now and then )

clear enough about the cynical plot yet?
kay.

there is scientific evidence that masturbation is a very healthy thing to do especially for males because it ejects chemicals from your body known to cause cancer
and generally promotes a feeling of well being and competitiveness

#edit#
i read a study that states 3-5 times a week is the 'sweet spot' for health and well being
as with most things do what you want to.

Not harmful. Who needs weights when you've got two arms, a penis and porn.

All I would say is that if you do it often, you should consume foods that have a strong zinc content, as when you ejaculate, you are losing a lot of zinc.

Just make sure you don't accidently squish something unintended... Sorry, must have created a horrible image in your head.
