Before I run I have to ejaculate, it helps me relax prior working out (especially running). I can't really explain why but I guess it's how I am.

This is my answer:

If you believe that masturbating is unhealty, then it is and if you believe it to be healthy then it is healthy. Both ways you're right.

Just an example:
David masturbates three times a week, and when masturbating he does it fast and thinking that how bad it can be for his health. When masturbating he thinks of pornstars and other women which he hasn't slept with. After the masturbation David feels guilty for doing it and thinks it will affect his body badly.

Bob on the other hand masturbates three times a day, and when masturbating he thinks that it is healty. He imagines women he knows and which he may or may not have had sex. After that he feels relaxed and has no guilty feelings.

Your body reacts to your mind.

My experience:
A couple of years in the past, i masturbated a lot. Thinking it was bad, but i still did it and thougt i couldn't live without it. I really saw how bad this was for my health (feeling tired a lot) and for my mind (not engaging in social interactions, sarging etc). Then i cut back, didn't masturbated for about 2 months! The first 3\4 weeks were hard, but i felt really good. Not tired and it was much easier to approach girls.

But the 5\6 week, without any sex for 2 months i began to feel again tired and i wasn't masturbating (think my testosterone levels were going down).

So now it is sometimes, first listen to your body. How does it react and do you really need it. If you're having sex 3 times a week sex.. then don't masturbate. But if you on a dry spell, then i think it's better to do from time to time. But take your time, and try to not come to fast and fool your mind in thinking it's real sex. It must be a learning experience with your body.

The whole point about this is, that your body reacts to negative feelings!

QQ: No one said anything about abstaining from sex. Just masturbation, which brings me to:

This is a sponsored message by your community friend SamePendo

I invite you all to take part in my 6 month thingy. In case you haven't read the first post, there are 2 rules.

1) NO masturbating.

2) Push yourself to be a man.

Emphasis on 2. There is no use in just abstaining from masturbating, but thinking about doing it with your eyes like an owl looking at porn even more time than you did before.

Angelus brings very, very good points. Don't get all sassy on our asses. We're not telling you to stop having sex. When you think about it, mbing isn't worth it. There are much better things to do with your time.

Don't believe everything you read.

It does drain your energy and as in boxing - 'will make your legs weak'.

If you work out alot, your energy is drained. If you work out and don't jack it, you have that extra drive, not only at the gym, but for taking action and getting girls. If a hunter is starved, he'll go hunting.

Don't knock it till you've tried yet. You'll feel super ..like rust in the veins when not jacking it. It's a good feeling and keep it controlled and use to your advantage.

"A team in Australia led by Graham Giles of The Cancer Council Victoria in Melbourne asked 1079 men with prostate cancer to fill in a questionnaire detailing their sexual habits, and compared their responses with those of 1259 healthy men of the same age. The team concludes that the more men ejaculate between the ages of 20 and 50, the less likely they are to develop prostate cancer.

The protective effect is greatest while men are in their twenties: those who had ejaculated more than five times per week in their twenties, for instance, were one-third less likely to develop aggressive prostate cancer later in life (BJU International, vol 92, p 211).

The results contradict those of previous studies, which have suggested that having had many sexual partners, or a high frequency of sexual activity, increases the risk of prostate cancer by up to 40 per cent. The key difference is that these earlier studies defined sexual activity as sexual intercourse, whereas the latest study focused on the number of ejaculations, whether or not intercourse was involved.

The team speculates that infections caused by intercourse may increase the risk of prostate cancer. "Had we been able to remove ejaculations associated with sexual intercourse, there should have been an even stronger protective effect of other ejaculations," they suggest. "Men have many ways of using their prostate which do not involve women or other men," Giles adds."
Expert doctors also tell us not to eat fish, meat, fruit, bread, salt, sugar because it can lead to cancer oh and margirine because it can make us blind. These experts tell us not to wash our cloths in washing powder because it can lead to cancer. They tell us we should not drink any alcohol at all because it is a poision the even in miniscule amounts can damage your liver, they then tell us that we should drink alcohol because it slows down the ageing process. They say X-RAYS are bad for you and give you cancer, then they say X-RAYS are good for you and prevent cancer.

I remember when I was young, I was taught that masturbation and looking at porn was wrong. Somehow during my late teen years I aquired the belief that porn was not bad for your, unless it was an addiction. The same goes with masturbation.

Fast forward countless years later. I am now convinced that there is ABSOLUTELY no worth in porn. All porn does is sell a fantasy, and all masturbation does is release the tension from said fantasy. Years ago, my rationale for watching porn was to find out how tab A fits into slot B and how to manuever said tab A. Now that I have enough experience, there is absolutely no reason I should be jacking off to porn anymore...

...Except for one problem, I am addicted to porn. There, I said it. Two weeks ago I decided to engage in an experiment of my own. I know there have been countless guys here who have sworn off masturbation and porn, but I wanted to see the results for myself. For a whole week (not long, yeah I know but I used to jack off multiple times a day), I went without looking at porn or masturbating. The next week, I masturbated and looked at porn just like I regularly did. Here were my findings...

I found out that during the week I did not masturbate, I did feel a lot more confident. I could think clearer and my severe ADD did not affect me as much as it normally does. I could converse better, I was in a better mood, and most importantly, I wanted to be around people. However, I did still feel a bit shy around women.

The next week, I masturbated like I used to regularly do. At first there was not really any noticable difference. As the week progressed I noticed a distinctive personality change. I became more withdrawn, and less sociable. I started to stammer more, I started to lose confidence in my job. Whereas before I would go out for walks and bike rides, I would stay inside and watch TV, or worse sit in front of the computer and...you know. Worst of all was my ADD symptoms and my anxiety. I started to lose concentration, and became more absentminded. Even worse, I became more stressed out and high strung. I became defensive and even my co workers finally said something. In the end I will go so far as to say that excessive masturbation cost me my job (no big loss).

Conclusion: I firmly believe that masturbation by itself was not the cause of my shift, however excessive masturbation was. My problem was that after I jerked off for the first time in a week, I remembered how good it felt and therefore wanted to do it over again, which of course led me down that familiar and rather unpleasent road. This experiment also solidified my belief that porn, no matter what context its in, is bad in all forms. I am now convinced that we as men, should be the ones creating the porn, not jacking off to images based on bloated fantasy.

I am going to go without masturbating, but for at least two weeks this time. And I am going to do whatever I can to prevent myself from the temptation to look at porn again.

Yes, you should ejaculate 2-3 times a week as a healthy adult.

Is there any scientifical proof for this?

That is just a myth I have actually consulted 2 doctors on this subject and they say there are no definitive studies that prove masturbation lowers the risk of prostate cancer.
It's not about masturbation itself. It's PROVEN that not releasing sperm for a whole week increases your chances of getting a prostate cancer. Obviously, this is not something that concerns people in their 20s, but after you are 35, why would you want to risk this stuff?


Anyway, I disagree with the whole purpose of this post. I've been fùcking AT LEAST once a week (usually 2-3 times per week) for the last 2 years and I masturbate even more. Masturbation does not prevent me from fùcking. Hell, it often happens that I have sex 5-6 times in a day and that night I go to bed and masturbate (and I had already masturbated when I woke up that morning and I will masturbate again the morning after).

Usually, the more I masturbate and the more I want to fùck and viceversa. Obviously, it's not that I have the urge to fùck immediately after I masturbate, but a hour later I'm hornier than before and I will do anything to have some real sex.

All in all, I think this is too subjective of a topic to say that "masturbation is good" or "masturbation is bad". Try not to do it if you want and see if it helps you or not. It's all up to each one.

Well, I'm 31 years old and I do it 2 to 5 times a day for about 6 years now. I am a complete slave to porn. I've never had contact (kiss, hug, etc.) with a female so I'm constantly horny. I beat off to any attractive woman I see every day. I take a mental snapshot of her and I use that to "complete" later on. It's really hard to be out and about in public because I will get an erection ANYTIME I see an attractive woman. I need to think about a video game or comic book to lose it. (these two for some reason tend to work the best.)
So my advice is not to even do it if you can help it. Like "Noob" above me, Ive started looking at specific fetishes and they change daily becase I think it may be coming desensitizing to me.You'll end up like me in time. I've kind of accepted it. But it does suck and this can't be healthy.

Saiyan, you need quit substituting porn for the real deal. There is no comparison when getting the real thing as opposed to porn when you're really attracted to said girl.

A grown man should not have to (or be reduced to) jacking it. A grown man should be able to have his access to that which nature provides, a female for sexual pleasure and companionship.

Believe me, If I could get the real deal, I don't think I'd be reduced to masturbation. I've been through more "life plans", makeovers and "boot camps" than I can count. Man was I desperate for a relationship around age 20-28 so I tried everything. The way I see it, my right hand, at least, won't reject me. :mad:

Re:

I see nothing wrong with infrequent masturbation.

Frequent masturbation, defined as daily, or multiple times daily, can create the habit of requiring pornographic sex or super intense sex over the type you have with your woman/women. If you burn up that drive, I can tell from experience that it diminishes how hard you can be when boning your woman. It can diminish the sensitivity you experience with your woman/women. If you don't have a woman, it's motivating to get one. If you do, it's motivating to keep you sexual and super hard. My girl definately notices when I haven't versus when I have. And when I haven't, my mood is very much more aggressive than it already is.

I'm just posting my experiences though. Just my facts. Buy or sell them as you please. When I was younger, it was the only and best option. But when you have a woman, or the ability to find one, it seems it serves me best to preserve it. From time to time, I will if I see great pics or something, I haven't been with my girl. But by and large I preserve the ENERGY of it for other things. Not to mention, the moments you feel yourself CAVING into the desires, do something you want to do. Go read. Go lift. Go practice. DO something. Hill called it sexual transmutation.

It's a matter of balance, like anything else. If you're getting enough action, it's unnecessary. If you're not, too much can drain your energy, and too little can enable desperate AFC tendencies to surface (trying too hard to get laid). Balance, grasshopper.

I would like to clarify something I get laid 1-4 times a week so that’s why I can relax on the jerking off. If you never have sex and/or get head then you probably need to masturbate once a week or else you will become and AFC. So if you are not getting laid at all jerk off once a week but don’t do it too much once a day is bad for you (counterproductive).

Damn son, you need to make up your mind. I hope this indecisive trait is not due to some excessive jerkin'.

Don't take this personally, but it almost sounds like a confession at Masturbator's Anonymous. The bluntness cracked me up quite a bit.

Well I'm just saying a decision's gotta be made towards good or bad, or neither. If you have been saying it's bad but then turn around and say it's okay to do once a week, that's like saying it's okay to smoke as long as you get a new pair of lungs every once in a while.
