Reasons for “Not” to Masturbate

Masturbation – Is it the only way to achieve sexual satisfaction? Or let it be put this way – Is masturbation the “right” way to achieve sexual satisfaction? Don’t fall for the fib that ejaculation could relieve stress or boredom for you. There are healthy ways to relieve stress. In fact, studies have revealed numerous health and social problems too caused due to over masturbation. Science has shown that complete and veracious sexual pleasure and satisfaction could never be achieved with masturbation; it is only achieved through sex. Maybe, God created man that way.

Take a look at these treacherous health results of irregular masturbation:

You might fracture your penis

If you think cowgirl position is the sole reason for penis fracture, you’re still ignorant when it comes to sex education. It is no wonder that aggressive masturbation is also a reason. There have been almost 1600 cases registered since 1924 with other varying reasons like donkey bite, falling out of a chair on the floor, etc. Although the frequency of this penile condition is not that high, you never know that you could add to those 1600 unfortunate men. When the penis is issued to blunt or sharp trauma in erect state, the fibrous membrane tunica albuginea surrounding corpora cavernosa (sponge like chambers located on both sides of the penis) thins out and stretches too far because of unanticipated bending of the shaft. Eventually, the membrane fractures or tears. This usually follows a popping sound at the base of the penis with purple coloration and swelling. As the erection subsides, the man experiences immense pain.

You might mess up your urethra

Inserting thermometer, golf pencil, and of course, fork into your urethra is certainly not a way to masturbate. If you think that’s pleasure, that’s in fact a serious displeasure! Sticking up foreign objects into the delicate urethra is not just a woman’s pleasure, but also a man’s it seems (laughs). An adult man in Australia thought a 4 inch fork could make him cum. Eventually, he ended up in the hospital. The doctor had to use even bigger surgical instruments to put his urethra in order. And now, the man experiences immeasurable pain every time he urinates. The condition is called bleeding urethral meatus.

You might bleed internally

This is more common in women than in men. Some women go too far when it comes to masturbation. Sex toys like dildos are one of the precarious objects to use while masturbating. They could cause a blunt trauma resulting into a painful rupture in the urethra or vagina. A woman in California almost called death upon her until her beau rushed her to the hospital. After successful recovery from the injury, the doctors revealed that a sex toy had caused a dangerous rupture into her lower abdomen causing one of her iliac arteries to bleed severely. Though they may provide temporary sexual pleasure, inserting sex toys into your anus and vagina is certainly risk taking.

Your penis might catch gangrene

It is called Fournier’s gangrene. Occurring mostly in men than in women again, this is a severe classification of infective necrotizing fasciitis which affects genital and perianal areas. It is caused by aerobic and anaerobic bacterial flora rapidly interacting with each other, resulting into organ failure and even death, if not diagnosed early. But, what is it to do with masturbating? Well, a 29 year old male contracted the gangrene after continuous masturbation using soap water/liquid soap. The doctors diagnosed his perineum and scrotum to be infected with necrotic tissue and testicles to be severely chafed.

Your ejaculation might become retarded

Masturbation is a primary cause of erectile dysfunction and also ejaculation dysfunction. Masturbating too much can cause early, late, or no ejaculation at all while having sex with your partner. With no ejaculation, sex could be empty and a source of stress or frustration. Lack of interest in partner, no sexual activity, and low libido are some of the perilous results of ejaculation problems. It may even make difficult for you to achieve climax while actually having sex with your partner. Frequent self-stimulation by rapid stroking, applying pressure, insertion, or friction could very well develop retarded ejaculation in your future sexual life.

You might become absentminded

Excessive ejaculation via self-stimulation could have a perilous effect on the brain. Besides neurotransmitters, hGH, triiodothyronine (T3), DHEA, thyroxine (T4), and testosterone, over masturbation also drains out acetylcholine, serotonin, and dopamine which are important for normal functioning of the human body. These fluids and hormones are also significant when it comes to sex including the endocrine and nervous functions. Eye floaters, lack of concentration, memory loss, and absentmindedness are some of the main complaints of those who masturbate frequently. It is very important to maintain a balance of the body’s chemical levels with a view to fight these problems.

You might become socially diseased

People addicted to masturbation are mentally distressed all the time. They appear to be unsociable, shy, and introvert. Talking about their social life, they live a highly tensed and disturbed life when it comes to family; besides, they lose interest in their favorite activities, perform poorly at work, and basically lose interest in life. Masturbation addicts find it difficult to deal with mental and social consequences than the physical ones. One of the major consequences is depression.

You might become weak physically

Addiction to masturbation could lead to some unwanted physiological and psychological changes in your body such as:

• Weak or soft erection
• Feeling of tiredness all the time or fatigue
• Testicular or groin pain
• Lower back pain
• Cramps in the tail bone or pelvic cavity
• Thinning of hair or hair loss
• Fuzzy vision
• Premature ejaculation
