The Good and Harmful Effects of Masturbation

[ranger]

Well I've been researching quite a while about this From what I learned so far, masturbation is not a sin, and though unproven, it is said to be quite beneficial to the body. It does burn a few calories, that's guaranteed. And besides that it's said to have nearly all health benefits one gains via sex. It boosts the self confidence, especially that of teens. Though unproven, it's said to boost the immune system. Anyways it definitely helps to stay away from those embarrassing sleep ejaculation episodes.

As its proven that it's not bad, why all these religions are unnecessarily proclaiming that it is a big sin or something? I can't understand this. I think it's ok unless one doesn't get addicted to it. And everybody should atleast did this 'sin' once. So what about you guys? Do you guys think it's evil too?

EDUCATIONAL GUIDE

Frequent masturbation and ejaculation stimulate acetylcholine/parasympathetic
nervous functions. Excessive stimulation can result in over production
of sex hormones and neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, dopamine
and serotonin. Abundant and unusually large 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 masturbates.

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 ON THE BODY INCLUDE:


Lower back pain

Thinning hair / Hair Loss

Weak Erection

Premature Ejaculation

Eye floaters or fuzzy vision

Groin / Testicular Pain

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


Masturbation plays a big role in a normal sex life. Some of us discover it as
children because it starts to feel so good between our legs. Others are
shown by our friends. We continue to masturbate because it feels so
good. It gets us ready for mature sexual relationships when we reach
adulthood, and it helps us take care of those raging hormonal urges and
surges when we are teenagers. Masturbation can enhance mature sexual
relationships where two partners use it either as a prelude to other
sexual activity, or as the main fare. And it keeps us going when
relationships falter, such as when a partner is ill or away. It is a
great equalizer in a relationship where one partner needs more sexual
activity than the other.


HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH MASTURBATION?


depends but it's suggested men keep their ejaculation frequency down to
2-3 times a week. However, sexual activity can be experienced more
often if men learn how to orgasm without ejaculation. Doing so can
actually store bioenergy into your system and make your penis firmer,
your erections last longer, and your ejaculate volume bigger.

Masturbation is a part of life and our sexual practices. In fact, most doctors
recommend it, not only to improve sexual experiences but to also
promote good general health. However, like most things in life, too
much of a good thing can be bad. Excessive masturbation can lead to
symptoms like stress, fatigue, and memory loss. In extreme cases,
sufferers fall into the pitfalls of impotence and hair loss. Under most circumstances, masturbation is neither good nor bad

One recently published study reported that 87% of women and 95% of men have
practiced masturbation but when done to extreme, it causes drastic
changes in brain and body chemistry. Masturbating too much can
over-stimulate acetylcholine/parasympathetic nervous functions and
disrupt the liver's release of enzymes that synthesize
neurotransmitters acetylcholine, dopamine, and serotonin. Additionally,
the liver's ability to release enzymes that aid in hormone production
is affected. As a result, the brain and adrenal glands produce too much
dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine, and other hormones and neural
transmitters.

SYMPTOMS

(also called Sexual Exhaustion) is distressing liver and nervous system
functions, include youthful impotence/erectile dysfunction (including a
soft or weak erection) and seminal leakage. While more than 30% of men
have experienced impotence at one time or another, impotence in youth
is more rare and can often be attributed to the above factors. Over-masturbation can also cause problems such as seminal leakage, which can cause sperm to ooze or leak out of the penis with no accompanying erection. Both semen leakage and youthful impotence are embarrassing, uncomfortable, and signs of Sexual Exhaustion.

Semen leakage is a sign that the parasympathetic nerve, which keeps the
ejaculation valve shut and holds the erection, is weakening as a result
of over-masturbation. With a weakened nerve, maintaining an erection is
a problem.


GET RID OF THAT ADDICTIVE BEHAVIOR


The first step to getting better is to reduce masturbation and ejaculation
frequency and try to overcome this bad habit. Eat more soybean products
and eliminating excessive caffeine from your diet. Focus on nutty foods
like sunflower seeds, and peanuts and eat more sea foods, seaweed,
vegetables, and try to minimize red meat and dairy product intake.
Instead of soda, try drinking orange juice or cranberry juice and, of
course, drink plenty of water

This practice can exaggerate IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME too

there may be scientific benefits to masturbation but morally masturbation is very wrong. It is just like forcing nature to go faster than normal.

i agree with you, however its hard to get people to support this idea. can you offer any supporting sources.

[granola47]

i don't know if its evil, but i think that its usually tied with porn and that's not healthy. i have met someone that does it and he is up in age. he's been doing it since youth. i don't think that he is evil. however, he doesn't have a lot of stamina and his interest in sex isn't good. he seems to masturbate instead of having a healthy relationship. i don't think its good. don't know if this happens to all, but it doesn't seem to be a very healthy practice. the notion that it is healthy sounds misleading. if one is a christian, then one would know that the world is alienated from God, so basically when the world says it right, i would caution anyone, claiming to be a christian to be careful, and not trust outright what the world says.

I enjoyed that.
