Sexual Relationships 
Sexual Health 
When I was in puberty and going through my sexual precociousness, masturbation became a recurrent wonder for me. I wanted to do it, but wondered if it was really okay. By definition I am a “Christian” and grew up in a biblically spiritual household, so part of my wonder was would it be sinful for me to masturbate, but I also had big wonder about it being healthy or not. My mom said she really wasn’t sure if she thought masturbation was really evil either. So looking for answers I would spend obsessive hours at the library reading through adolescent body development books and also secretly combing through adult sexuality books for the answer, and trying not to get caught.
Just about every source I’d read said masturbation is an okay, normal human behavior as part of our sexuality and sexual development, and is the safest way to have sexual pleasure. The books would also detail old terms like “self-abuse” and old wives tales about how you’ll go blind from masturbating or grow hair on your palms and all that stuff, as a way to make it sound like it’s crazy to believe it really is bad. So at 14, when my sexual hormones were really raging, I couldn’t take it anymore and started masturbating. And it felt good. I couldn’t stop. Many times I would masturbate 3 times a day. And other times I would feel guilty for how much I was doing it and needed to stop, so I would go periods without it. But through the years I mostly maintained the frequent habit, no longer doing 3 times a day anymore but still pretty regularly.
Over time though I learned that there is a such thing as too much masturbation, or what is called ‘over-masturbation,’ and how some of those old wives tales actually are not that far fetched. A lot of people think it’s funny or ridiculous for anyone to believe that masturbating can be dangerous or harmful to you or to worry about it, but it really can be. I one day decided to Google ‘too much masturbation’ and found quite a lot of stuff about it, that happens to both men and women, that I want to share. Maybe you’ve wondered why you feel funny lately, or tired, or off balance in some way, or notice even some physical problems. If you’re someone who masturbates a lot, these things could be why.
The dangers of excessive masturbation for males…
Hair loss
Some time back I noticed that the hair at the corners of my hair line by my temples had seemed thinner, as if it was the start of a receding hair line. My grandfather, my dad, my brother, and other men in our family have never suffered with hair loss, so when I started noticing that with me I wondered why. Was it stress from everything I’ve had to deal with in the last some years? Is my diet not as good as I thought? Am I not getting enough sleep? Those things actually were the least of it.
Masturbating excessively can lead to hair loss in men. And that was beginning to be the problem with me, and one of the symptoms I found when I’d Googled ‘too much masturbation.’ I’ve often wondered why it seems to be that so many young guys in these times are balding so soon, and now I wonder if it’s because of the American male’s chronic whacking habit. Hair loss happens because your hormones are in a deficiency from over-masturbation that causes stunted growth in hair follicles, and lucky for me I caught it early.
Chest pain
Chest pain is also another symptom I had once, and noticed it after having really heavy masturbation periods. This too is something I found other men on the forums complaining about, and is documented as an adverse affect of over-masturbation. It worried me when I first noticed it, but when I gave masturbation a rest for a while and drank some wine one night before bed, I did fine after that.
Blurry vision or eye floaters
This is where the old wives tale isn’t entirely false either. Excessive masturbation can also cause vision problems for men. For me it was the eye floaters thing, those really annoying foggy spots you will see in your eyes sometimes. As a teen I definitely noticed getting them from beating off so much, but they usually went away after awhile. But some time ago I had one that was the worst ever and stayed for some weeks.
Over-masturbation can cause eyesight problems because the hormones in your body are going through a terrible imbalance that even affects the blood cells in your eyes.
Depleted body fluids
One of the things that too much beating off can really hurt males with is the heavy loss of semen and its nutrients. When you’re masturbating several times a day added to several times a week, you deplete your bodily fluids and stress your hormones, sending them into a terrible frenzy and danger zone where your body now suffers a deficiency that will take a long time to recover from.
Infertility/sexual dysfunctions
I haven’t experienced these, but they are said to be another adverse effect of too much masturbation, and victimizes both men and women. Over-masturbation can kill your sperm and your outlook on sex, making you feel like real sex is boring, or make women sexually inhibited. This is because of it’s psychological effect. Self-pleasuring really can be a form of mental abuse on yourself.
Other symptoms I read about are fatigue, loss of energy, a feeling of being hung over (probably from the drugging sensation of orgasm), prostate problems, involuntary semen release after urinating or having a bowl movement, poor sleep, nervousness, porn addiction, and no interest in real sex.
The dangers of excessive masturbation for females…
Science and the media still tends to be more biased about female sexuality and has basically taught women that it’s mostly men who suffer from sexual dysfunctions. Our modern day sexperts, feminists, YouTubers, and authors are still on a kick of over-glamorizing female multiple orgasms, squirting, and the right for women to sleep around “like men,” but won’t really teach women much reality. Although doctors and researchers have talked about sexual dysfunctions in women - and you actually can find out about it if you Google it - the main stream media is not really going to educate women about it unless it falls under situations of rape, or if they can still somehow find a way to blame it on the “sexual repression” of women by society over the years, or if they can still try to imply that women are sexually superior to men in some way at the same time.
However, with masturbation, there are also many cases of it affecting women negatively like with men. Most are the same as men's but some are different. Females have been documented as not touching themselves as much as men, but the average girl and woman is just as much of a masturbator as a man.
Damage to the clitoris
One of the things I found in reading about over-masturbation in women is how it can desensitize the clitoris or cause pain and soreness to the point where even wearing underwear is uncomfortable for women. Over-masturbation can damage nerve endings in the clitoris and even cause deformity. I’ve heard chronic female masturbators call in to late night adult radio programs in total panic about how they noticed their clit is turning in on itself to one side, while others on web forums are asking what to do because it hurts so much or they can hardly orgasm anymore.
Loss of bodily fluids
Just like with men, females can also lose much of their bodily fluids from overdoing whacking off. In fact too much masturbation or too much sex period can hurt women in this way. Unlike the penis, the vagina needs to lubricate itself first when it’s aroused before anything can get inside. So when a woman has depleted her fluids from too much whacking or sex, she increases her risk of poor lubrication which leads to pain.
Josephine, who authors the site Natural Health Protocol, says that women don’t deplete their fluids as badly from too much beating off as men do, though it may actually be worse for women because their bodies use more fluid for sexual activity.
Damage from vibrators and sex toys
Although they’ve been glamorized and fed to women through TV and movies as great solo sex tools for women, using foreign objects like vibrators and other sex toys can actually destroy the clitoris and vagina as well over time, cause abrasions, and lead to dryness and even infection. These objects are inhuman and inanimate, nothing like a flesh and blood penis that’s meant for the vagina, so they put women at risk for certain damage. They have even caused overactive bladder a lot more than most women realize because the vibrating sensation stimulates deeper than just the clitoris or G-spot, hitting the urethral nerves. But neither the vibrator makers, Kara Sutra, Dr. Laura Berman, and all the others who want to empower women sexually are ever going to tell you this.
No interest in real sex and difficulty having orgasms
One of the ways masturbation has been glamorized is in it’s ideology that it can help women better learn about their sexuality - which is somewhat true, but women who masturbate excessively can reach a point of feeling like that’s better than real sex, have little or no interest in sexual intercourse, and have numbed themselves to a point where orgasm is harder and harder to achieve even with a male partner providing stimulation.
Hormonal imbalance
Just like with men, women also can suffer from an out-of-whack hormone imbalance that causes irregular periods, ovarian problems, back aches, eye floaters, poor memory and concentration, and even migraines.
Start reversing it while you can…
In some sense, we really have been lied to through the years when we’re told that masturbation is a normal, healthy habit we all can maintain. I question that now. In our modern sexually decadent culture, we are oversexed, and I really don’t think we’ve realized how masturbation may actually play more of a role in our health problems than we think. It has been pretty amazing for me to read about.
If you’re someone who masturbates to excess and you know you do, now would be a good time to cut it back or even cut it out altogether. They say that the maximum you should beat off is about 2 or 3 times a week, not several times in a day, and not every day either. If you can get it down to those few times that's good, but if you can have the strength to stop completely that's even better, and I think that's what I'm gonna aim for myself. Some of you - especially if you’re young - will probably say, “Nonsense, I’ve been masturbating for years and nothing’s wrong with me,” but that’s because you obviously are not at the threshold of serious damage or danger yet, but it doesn’t mean it won’t happen. If you already are dealing with some or all of the symptoms I described in this Take, you can get a head start in reversing them now by taking certain supplements and getting active.
Zinc
Zinc helps with the deficiency of the body's natural hormones and components that have been depleted. It also supports eye health and is one of the best uses for eyes, as well as helps with hair growth.
Yoga
Gives your mind something else to think about and helps put you at ease, and calms down that need for so much orgasming.
Excercise
Also helps brings the body's strength, immune system, and hormones back into shape.
Green tea
It's antioxidant properties and health benefits will also help in restoring what's lost.

I mentioned the woman Jospehine from Natural Health Protocol earlier. The article she wrote on over-masturbation I think impacted me the most because she did talk about it in more depth, though I still advise you not to take everything she says entirely as truth, especially because she talks about certain spiritual disabilities and ‘entity attachment.’ And she is a female, so she still wanted to make it as if over-masturbation is worse for men than women. https://www.naturalhealthprotocol.com/masturbation--dr-lawrence-wilson.html
“In my experience as a healthcare practitioner I have found that socially, culturally and physically it can be a debilitating, brain-altering act. When I hear the word ‘masturbate’ I think of how it can take a person away from another human being’s touch and affection, what we truly want as pair-bonding beings, and how it has the tendency to throw us into a neurochemical spiral without the benefits of human touch, cuddling and kissing.” - Masturbation Myth: How to Overcome Addiction to Solo-Sex https://www.opposingviews.com/i/health/addiction/masturbation-myth-how-overcome-addiction-solo-sex

What Girls & Guys Said
22 54Wow. that is pretty crazy!
The no interest in losing sex is not true. too much of anything is bad of course and everything you mentioned can happen when you are having sex too so your logic is invalid sorry don't mean to be rude to you I am sure you thought out this take very thoroughly but truth is truth.
Oh, I don't mind.
Can you cite your sources?
*Reminds self to fap only when hormones (funny how "horniness" was a/c to "hormones" on that first one) wake him up in the middle of the night.*
Well for some of us, sex is impossible to get, so masturbation is all we have
Same here
I've never really over masturbated, so I don't know about the physical damage it can cause. To me, therefore, the danger of over masturbation is psychological damage, when the addiction interferes with your regular daily life.
I don't have any of those issues and I used Zinc before when I was sick and all it did was constipate me lol
If your dick begins to look like this, then you may be doing it too much
The moon shots were fake and 'rasslin is real !
Great take, finally someone did this. people should know this it should be taught in sexed.
I love this
Thank you.
I believe this was meant as sarcasm!
@douride2 no, it wasn't. I love it and agree with him 100%
My mistake Sorry
Can't that happen with every sex act?
Yes. But with masturbation it's different, because you're abusing yourself, not exactly engaging in real sex.
Absolutely. People need to realize that masturbation in excessive amounts is bad for health.
Too much sex is dangerous.. got it! Glad I don't have to worry about that.
There can never be too much! I love it!
baldness? masturbation is over for me, i am becoming a saint
I would like to know how much you can masturebait without causing problems like is once a day to much? You didn't really say how much is to much or how much is ok.
Actually I did near the end. It's safe if you keep it to a minimum of 2 or 3 times a week. Not every day. If you do it like 3 days in a row that's not exactly bad but you probably should spread it out.
I can never get laid so yea I jerk it a lot
Better cut it out now, man.
Why?
Because it's a body-killer. If you have no faith in being able to get laid, that's a mindset you can change. But the damage of heavy whacking off will be hard to eventually.
But every girl turns me down and my dick is like going crazy if I don't jerk off I'll blow in my pants
Then you're already in some deep shit.
Well no one will have sex with me
What utter rubbish. Firstly you make claims about 'facts' with no valid references or evidence. You trot out debunked myth after debunked myth. For example, hair loss as in male pattern baldness is genetic (look it up folks). Other causes exist true but to think anyone that is bsld 'over' masturbates or thise with hull heads of hair dont wank is insane. Also we know males and females are on a parr regarding masturbation frequency but howmany bald women are around? As for depleated fluids and nutrients. Unless yiu are a freak as well as a simpleton you ejaculate all of a couple of teaspoons of goo when you masturbate and in terms if calories, minerals and proteins its tiny. Its about the same as an equal volume of cows milk so drink a pint and be fine to masturbate 60 times? Changes to personality and energy is junk. Orgasm helps with stress and to sleep and maybe releases sexual tension but it dies not tranquelise you or anything like it. Look at metical info sites if you want chapter and verse. Causing injury. Neh. I have done it to mayed extreme levels to see what I could manage and 38 in a day is the record. My clitoris was fine the next day thankyou. Basically you have written a conspiracy theory to scare normal people from doing normal, safe fun things. You are sick.
I have this vibrating wand thing. It plugs into the wall and is very powerful. On the day it came my boyfriend was out and I decided to have a little morning masturbation session to try it out. Any my boyfriend comes home with his parents to take me out to dinner opens the bedroom door in our flat and there I am in a t-shirt, no underwear unconscious in a pool of my own wetness, the wand still goin. I'd cum so many I blacked out.
A pool of your own wetness. I like that.
My future inlaws weren't impressed
Forget that. I just wish I had've been there to eat you😈
