Can masturbating a lot cause problems?

NO!
Masturbation is actually physiologically useful!

I’ve quoted this before, but here it is again:

“Sex physiologist Roy Levin explained to me that sperm which sit around the factory a week or more start to develop abnormalities: missing heads, extra heads, shriveled heads, tapered and bent heads. All of which render them less effective at head-banging their way into an egg. Levin speculates that’s why men masturbate so much: It’s an evolutionary strategy. ‘If i keep tossing myself off, I get fresh sperm being made.’ Thereby upping the likelihood of impregnating someone and passing on your genes.”
-Mary Roach in The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex

Not if you do it behind closed (or if need be) locked doors.

One caveat: don’t use it on a routine basis for relieving anxiety (rather than just self-pleasuring), it could then potentially become obsessive.

Having an orgasm 3 times a week can improve the health of your heart greatly. I am not joking, I’d give you an article if I wasnt on my iPhone. Also, the hormones that it releases can make you feel better in every way.

No. Only solutions.

@delirium + marina

I think this question was intended for men to answer.

No, masturbation is totally natural. Just don’t over do it.

hairy palms!

Wow, so many eager and enthusiastic experts! Ok, now who’s going to be creative and think of ways it can cause problems?

Why would this be just for men?

Theres thiskid in one of the classes in eighth grade (I’m in eighth grade but not in his class) well any way he always had his hand down his pants and played with himself in the middle of class.he was always creepy well anyway the teachers told us that he was sent to a rehab because the hall monitors were cleaning out his locker and since then nobody has seen him….....

jstring: I was talking about men. I can talk about women too. its necessary for girls also, it helps you teach yourself about your sexuality and makes it so that you enjoy intercourse when you do it.

@jstringham21 Why? Women masturbate. How chauvinistic of you.

@stuff12 Thanks for sharing. Your avatar looks very relaxed.

@ Zaku, I read somewhere that intense orgasms can put excessive pressure on the blood vessels in your eyes. That is, it can make you go blind.

@stuff12 ya thanks for sharing…..

remember the renegade cheerleaders on SNL? there cheer was “Sex can wait, Masturbate!”

one arm could become bigger than the other if you dont switchhit enough.

@kevbo – Thanks for the balanced reporting.

Here is one of my all time favorite musical numbers from Hair.

Apologies in advance. You have to be 1:13 into the video before the song starts.

Yeah, if you’re wearing spiked gloves.

I once burned both my hands and couldn’t use them for three weeks. I was very depressed…

@Eambos A “friend” would have come in handy then. (Ack, even I am wincing at the pun.)

@all: is slinkey34 another pseudonym for our banned friend of many names? This avatar joined today.

I think he is a returning friend.

Give me a “Z!”

Not again. Sigh.

@gail, he’s certainly a candidate.

Only if you do it on the train.

@Blue; and are also the engineer.

New slogan: “Ride your underground and tame the tube!”

i remember being afraid of it too sometimes, but hey, 5 years of once or twice a day and im still fit as a fiddle, you could even say it takes some skill to keep it up, hahaha

if you do it in public a lot, then yes.

You can get ‘yourself’ chapped.

Only if you are trying to type at the same time.(Does warranty cover this?)

masturbation joke: A guy goes to his eye doctor for an examination. They start talking as the doctor is examining his eyes. In the middle of their conversation, the doctor casually says, “You need to stop masturbating.”

The guy replies, “Why Doc? Am I going blind?”

The doctor says, “No, I am trying to examine you.

@buster Damn, you beat me to the arm size joke
@evelyns_pet_zebra Oh, man that’s Hilarious!

I read in Men’s health having at least three orgasms a week promotes prostate health.
