Yes, It's Okay to Masturbate

It's ok to masturbate!

Masturbation seems to get a bad rrap often. On here there have been a couple of mytakes, although satire that have discussed the "dangers" of Masturbation. But there are actually some great health benefits from it. So to me there is nothing wrong with Masturbation and here's why:

Masturbation reduces stress

Orgasms produce a natural high. Plus some medical studies have shown that self love prevents depression and mental illness.

It's good for your heart

Self stimulation is a good way to help get your blood and heart pumping. In fact studied show that women and men who masturbated regularly show less risk of heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. That's all the more reason to enjoy it.

It helps you sleep

Masturbation releases hormones such as melatonin that goes to the brain to cause a feel good sleepy feeling. So after you orgasm, take a nap. Sleep is so important in your twenties!

Masturbation also helps:

Relieve menstural cramps and muscle tension

Provides sexual pleasure for anyone without the use of a partner,including the elderly

strengthen muscle tone in the pelvic and anal areas, reducing women’s chances of involuntary urine leakage and uterine prolapse

And it also improves our body image and confidence.

So in general those are just some benefits to Masturbation. There is nothing to be ashamed of. It is healthy. Don't listen to those who say it will cause you to go crazy,blind, or your penis will fall off. Relax and enjoy yourself.

  • Symptom Overview
    Your body has a reserve of hormones, nutrients and neurochemicals it keeps to power your sex drive. O. M. depletes the body of this reserve. Men who masturbate in excess do not allow their bodies to replenish hormones and neurochemicals needed for sex. Because O. M. occurs in stages, men with multiple symptoms should review the table outlined in Severity of Sexual Exhaustion. The more severe a stage, the more symptoms a man will showcase. Men should always resolve the most severe symptom first.

    Anxiety and Performance Anxiety Attacks
    Sex can be thrilling, but first-timers (and veterans) can feel, well…shy. Men can feel anxious or worried about their technique, size or stamina that causes performance issues.

    Back Pain or Discomfort
    O. M. reduces the production of oxytocin, DHEA, testosterone and DHT. The depletion of these neurochemicals triggers a release of the inflammatory hormone prostaglandin E2, which is one source for lower-back pain.

    Eye Floaters and Fuzzy Vision
    Blurry vision or dark spots that cloud your eye sight are caused by a deficiency of cGMP, nitric oxide and acetylcholine in the visual sensory nerves. These deficiencies are intensified by excessive masturbation.

    Chronic Fatigue
    Cortisol, a steroid hormone meant to increase blood sugar and metabolism, experiences an increase in production after masturbation. Proliferation of the hormone causes an invariable feeling of exhaustion.

    Groin Discomfort or Testicular Pain
    O. M. exhausts the pituitary-adrenal-testicular axis, which lowers oxytocin, DHEA, testosterone and DHT production. Once these neurochemicals experience a reduction, the inflammatory hormone prostaglandin E2 creates pain near the groin and testicles.

    Penis Shrinkage
    O. M. reduces the amount of growth hormones present in the body. Without growth hormones, the body cannot replenish penile tissue necessary to maintain the penis' size.

    Premature Ejaculation
    O. M. depletes HGH, testosterone, dopamine and serotonin, neurochemicals that strengthen both the endocrine system and parasympathetic nerves inside your body. Without these neurochemicals, the parasympathetic nerves that control an erection become weak.

    • Stress and Mood Swings Cortisol elevates blood sugar to help manage stress. Except O. M. increases the production of cortisol to such high levels that it causes more stress. Meanwhile, low testosterone levels caused by O. M. results in mood swings. Thinning Hair O. M. leads to excessive testosterone-DHT conversion. In response to the imbalance, the body produces cortisol, which induces high levels of prolactin and reduces DHEA, HGH and testosterone production. The sudden shift in neurochemicals causes hair loss. Weak Erections Because O. M. depletes necessary hormones for sex, the body cannot experiences a dearth in necessary neurochemicals. Instead, the body is left with a limited supply that renders a male unable to maintain a strong erection.

    • Reverse the Problem Not everyone shares the same symptoms. Age, health, genetics, masturbatory activity determine your symptoms. Experts have found that a high percentage of young people who started abusive masturbation before puberty can have multiple symptoms from several different causes. Combating any type of addiction requires self-determination, discipline and maybe professional help. You must be mentally prepared to quit. You need to discipline your mind and refrain from masturbating. And if need be, you need to seek out professional help. It’s best to start quitting gradually. If you masturbate 30 times a week (roughly two times a day), try masturbating once a day. Each week, reduce the amount you masturbate by half until you reach zero. Is it feasible to quit cold turkey? Sure. But few men have such will power to just give up the self-pleasuring sensation. Each symptom outlined requires a different solution. Some men may have multiple symptoms requiring multiple solutions.

  • you live in a conservative society.. bad rap haha.
