Effects of masturbation?

Hi, my name is rakesh... I am 22 year old male... I very often mastrubate about four times a week... Is it healthy??? Last week I just freaked out, when my friend said that it would lead to impotency... Is it true!!!... Please help me out...

oh you poor thing..you dont know the effects? lol...peace! ;O

Its healthy for a guy to masturbate (just dont get obssesed) becaus it flushes out old sperm leaving your body to make new ones and thats why its healthy !!

you guys should get educated. masterbating has no bad effects. yes you can make it bent but only if you are really rough. and also if you dont, then your old sperm would come out in other ways. and sometimes you get wet dreams which makes you ejaculate. so dont worry, its all healthy.

I think every answer on here so far has some sort of untruth in it, so lets start at the beginning and go from there

1) Bent penis -- untrue. The shape of your penis has everything to do with your DNA and nothing to do with with how much you touch it. If this were true, 90% of the penises on earth would be crooked.

2) Regular sex means no masturbation -- I don't know anyone, male or female, married or dating or single, who doesn't still masturbate despite the availability of sex. Sex feels one way, oral sex feels another way, and taking care of things yourself feels a third way, and what you do to achieve orgasm often has more to do with your mood than with what's available. Just because I have a pizza in the fridge doesn't mean I can't get hungry for a taco.

3) It flushes out old sperm -- sperm never has a chance to get old. When sperm are not ejaculated, whether through sex or masturbation, they are reabsorbed into the body. The process is never-ending, with new sperm being made to the tune of millions per day. It isn't as if a batch is made and the body sits around waiting for them to be used.

4) It leads to impotency -- never heard this one before, but also untrue. What it CAN lead to is an inability to achieve orgasm except through whatever masturbation technique you employ, but these cases occur only with those who do not vary their technique or use the Death grip style. Anyone with a modicum of sexual creativity avoids this trap.

Haha! This question was so funny, and the answers, even funnier! lol Thank you mikeh for setting people straight! hahaha

LOL funny!

Well basically theres nothing wrong with masturbation rakesh. In fact it is quite healthy. The penis is a muscle, the more you use it the better it functions. If you don't use your muscles at all then they usually tend not to work as well...think of it that way. However masturbating tooo much can also be unhealthy - takes longer to achieve orgasm, etc. But 4 times a week is okay.

Hey it's fine. Do it as much as you want. Nothing harmful can come of it so relax.
