Health benefits of masturbaion for men: helps prevent prostate cancer, helps with erection quality(makes guys harder), helps immunity, battles depression.
FunFact: The makeup of semen is different depending on if the guy had sex or masturbated
there's waaay more negative side affects. addiction to it is extremely bad for you (and btw before i'm accused of just being a prude or something i dont think doing it is immoral)
Can you name some? Aside from addiction? From what I've read most negative side effects stem from getting too carried away..like being too rough and causing tissue damage or internal damage.
Full addiction can cause: Hormonal imbalance causing increased acne and receding hairline for men, decrease in focus, erectile dysfunction, damage to to relationships (many people start to not feel empathy or care about people or things in general, and ive seen some studies showing a significant correlation between porn addiction and divorce), psychological damage (seeing people as just sexual objects among other things) and everything that comes with addiction are just a few I can name offhand. Read this. Theres lots of stories like this on nofap https://www.reddit.com/r/NoFap/comments/62bad5/im_starting_to_find_out_why_i_was_depressed_for/
People can get addicted to food, that doesn't mean that food it's bad.
There are plenty of scientific studies showing that masturbation is healthy, a site called "nofap" is not a reliale source
Almost anything in excess is bad. And it's a subreddit from a website thats based on scientific and secular findings. You didn't even click the link, its not a citation for the things I said it's a guys story about how addiction to masturbation and porn ruined his 4 year relationship and lost him his job. There are many similar stories lon the subreddit
I know, I've read It
I can write a simmilar text about my experience and it's perks, and it would, still, not be a scientific study.
But again, you can get addicted to things, such as food, that are naturally good for the body, the same goes for masturbation
If you are so afraid of It to deny yourself access to your own sexuality, I'm sorry for you
It's not just the addiction I just listed a lot of negative side affects. I don't see anyone here claiming healthy benefits citing sources and I'm too lazy and don't have the time to look all this stuff up and cite it. That wasn't a scientific study, and its not a fake story or something. I'm just saying there's tons of stories like that. And, uh, I masturbation but I'm trying not to as much. Its only healthy in moderation but it also has an addictive nature
Look, I'm not here to teach you or to go and try to change your life, but it's not healthy to be affraid of your sexual life and desires, as long as they don't hurt anyone. If you are ok with no masturbating, and you don't feel like doing it, that's fine, if you feel the desire, don't feel guilty or try to fight against it, because that can certainly hurt you.
Good luck :)
Dude I'm not afraid of my sexuality and I dont feel guilt masturbating. I was just saying how harmful it is in excess when you're completely addicted to it
@needmorec4 I know the story you're talking about. The mental disorders mostly stem from porn not masturbation..I know the 2 go hand in hand but not always. That guy in the story was introduced to porn at a very early age..4 if I remember correctly. That was even his main point, that porn made it impossible to have a normal relationship. As for horomonal effects, those are caused by excess ejaculation. Masturbation doesn't always end in ejaculation and you can still get the positive effects.
Well I see stuff like this, and I'm just wondering is masturbation somehow different from sex in those respects, or do they just say it because it's more accessible?
On a more serious tone
I guess sex has simmilar benefits, but masturbation (and particularlly, female masturbation) has always had an stigma on It, so I suppose they are trying to promote it with it's benefits
