Migz asked in HealthMen's Health · 1 decade ago

Why do some of you guys think?

that masterbation will damage your health? Are you not aware that it is great for you to be active as it helps maintain a healthy prostrate, and if you can maintain a healthy prostate then the theory is you should be better off as an older man and shouldn't get prostrate trouble.

Or is this just something the kids on here don't know yet and still think they will go blind if they play with it too much?

I would just like some opinions as I have seen this question loads on here.

Update:

Esq, before you judge I am also parent with teenage son, don't you think I asked for a reason!

No your right I am not a guy, but doesn't this make me a better person to ask so I know, so I am not as narrow minded as some people, and as to mind my own business, well when a guy is 50 and cant perform and has Prostate trouble and I have to wash his undies and nurse him after operations then I think it will be my bussiness if I haven't been taking care of my man properly.

We was all teenagers once and as a parent I do get it, I just wanted a male perspective on this, so I can be a better partner and mother.

    There is a strong taboo against masturbation and a lot of myths have been spread. But actually masturbation is very healty. It's good for both genders but especially for males - it is good for our prostate to have a "release" at least once a day.

    There are no conclusive studies that state that masturbation will help the prostate. For every one that does state that, there is one that states the opposite. In my medical opinion overmasturbation would make it weaker. It is a gland and not a muscle, so using it more would not make it stronger. Overuse would just make it weaker.

    Frequent masturbation and ejaculation (usually more than 4 times a week for most) stimulate acetylcholine/parasympathetic nervous functions excessively, resulting in the over production of sex hormones and neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, dopamine and serotonin. Abundant and unusually amount of these hormones and neurotransmitters can cause the brain and adrenal glands to perform excessive dopamine-norepinephrine-epinephrine conversion and turn the brain and body functions to be extremely sympathetic. In other words, there is a big change of body chemistry when one excessively pratices masturbation.

    Note: Masturbation is a healthy sexual behavior. Like other behaviors, when over practiced or addicted it can lead to both psychological and physiological imbalances.

    The side effects of such changes to the body include:

    Fatigue. Feeling tired all the time

    Lower back pain

    Stress / Anxiety

    Thinning hair / Hair Loss

    Soft / Weak Erection

    Premature Ejaculation

    Eye floaters or fuzzy vision

    Groin / Testicular Pain

    Pain or cramp in the pelvic cavity or/and tail bone

    If above symptoms are experienced, you need to restore the balance of brain's acetylcholine / parasympathetic ratio, reduces the level of sex hormones in the body, and sedates sympathetic nervous function, or the symptoms would become worse.

    It all depends on how your body reacts to the stress of ejaculation, everyone is different.

    nothing Wrong With masterbating i don't know of any ill affects from it either. And Was Told It Is Healthy for Prostate.

    i don't think men's "prostrates" would ever cause trouble as the guys would be lying horizontally, on the ground or in a bed.

    Please use the right terminology.

    BTW , mind your own business, you are not a guy and guys have concerns about masturbation, especially as teenagers (thinking it is abnormal or fantasizing). They know that parents just would not "get it" if they talked about it !
