male masturbation

[M_atthew]

I am wondering if anyone knows if a man does not masturbate if this will be bad for his health?

[Meow18]

Most people do it purely for pleasure and to learn about what you like. But it's definitely not going to harm you in any way if you don't masturbate.

[justpaisley]

No - masturbating doesn't affect your health in any way, negatively or positively. It's just something done for pleasure.

i heard many times that it is healthy to do it and better to do it, can be unhealthy if you dont.

[Dako]

Harmless.

I wonder if some guys would develop odd behavior if they suppressed the urge, but I doubt it's a physical need. Some with prostate trouble get relief from pain by wanking.

[M_atthew]

I just wondered if perhaps build-up of cum may be harmful.

[yeawutever]

Masturbating isn't bad whether you do it or not, it's all about pleasing yourself.

[DizzyDoris]

A lad i once knew reckoned if you didnt masterbate, the build up can cause testicular cancer, I have no idea if this is true though, he was probably just pulling my leg!

[Dako]

Like a baker, a prostate stops production when the shelves are full.

Nope. Semen is not like urine - it's not constantly produced by the body with an eventual need to evacuate. It's not bodily waste. It's only produced when needed.

While masturbation is a natural activity, I do not believe that lack of masturbation has any known detrimental effects.

 

Less (or no) masturbation will likely result in an increase in nocturnal emissions (wet dreams) depending on your age.

[Day_Walker]

Well the semen is going to have to come out some way, so either it comes out or you will have nocturnal emissions. As far as it being bad for your health, that is arguable if you want to take your sexual health and mental health into consideration.

Actually, I don't have the article, but I read that men need to masturbate if they aren't having sex regularly. Men who ejaculate regularly have a lesser chance of developing diseases such as prostrate and testicular cancer.

 

It definitely is not bad for your health. But it is bad if you don't get that "release."

There has never been a documented case of a man who doesn't masturbate, so scientists aren't sure...

LOL!

Stole my thoughts there, HP.

Even my quadraplegic buddy manages to rub it.
