Ripple-effect, there are many studies completed on masturbation and to my knowledge a huge huge majority of the medical community sees no problem with it.
I really don't think there are....I could be wrong(I'm not going to check), but I remember reading somewhere that there aren't very many considering the touchiness of the subject. I mean who would want to volunteer for a study like that? I certainly wouldn't want someone studying me jacking off. And YES, I am 100% well aware of the backing of medical science on masturbation. I even used these findings as my excuse to continue this habit. One reason they give that I really don't like is when they say "it prevents STD's". Lol, maybe this prevents someone from getting an STD in the short run, but later on, he or she is going to want more and more to the point they are going to want the real thing. It's almost like a drug....once you start....it's difficult to stop, and it may lead to things that will create an even higher stimulation. Sex may stimulate the body in a healthy way when you do it once in a while, but it's when you over-stimulate is when it starts becoming a problem.
I also have a news flash, masturbation involves essentially the same process as sex and the medical community not only has no problem with sex but considers it a healthy part of an adult's life.
Thanks for pointing out the obvious. I'm pretty sure we all know masturbation involves the same processes as sex, and yes it should be a healthy part of a married couple's life. If you're not married and having sex with a bunch of people, that's when it isn't healthy.
You clearly have some repressed emotions concerning your sexuality and perhaps (like many westerners in particular) have become victim of a society that imposes a degree of "guilt" about sex which in most cases is an unconscious emotion based on a old religious bounds. Now it must be stated that what I am talking about is responsible and protected sex between consenting and emotionally stable adults.
Well, that's pretty funny. I'm getting accused of having repressed emotions from a guy that supports masturbation. Masturbation is a sign of insecurity and almost always a sign of deeper need. What is motivating you to masturbate? Are you depressed, lonely, afraid to find a relationship? Whatever the reason may be....it takes a person with repressed emotions to feel the need to let it out. You are right about my religious views, but never once did I mention those views as a basis for my view of masturbation.
This topic of masturbation and sex comes up on cue at least once a month on this site, do a search! In every case the argument ends with absolutely no definitive evidence linking masturbation and hairloss despite the fact that this topic is discussed constantly.
Yup, that's true, and that's why I'm finally posting in one because EVERY time I see one of the posts that deals with masturbation and hair loss, all I see is critisism from posters who absolutely refuse to believe that there there is any relationship and hairloss. Now, I'm not saying that male pattern baldness is caused by masturbation at all. I never once said that, but I do believe that there could be a possible link in people who are genetically predisposed to hair loss who masturbate which possibly might speed up the process or even slow it down. We don't know for sure yet, but I'm am just against all these people who all of a sudden dismiss a post like this, and look at the poster in disgrace when they are not sure themselves. You should be ashamed of yourselves :nono: . <<lol
I'm supporting the question, not the unsupported answer.
GHG, read the above, stop putting words in my mouth, and yes I'm well aware of your lame indirect attack on me concerning circumcision that was not worth responding to....it was about as lame as flim flam who hides behind Johnny's post.
