Masturbation

masturbation is self-stimulating your

genitals in a sexual way to the point of

reaching an orgasm this is a very common

Behavior among men and women and is a

very normal part of growing up for

children of both sexes research has

found that among adolescents aged 14 to

17 years about 74 of males and 48 of

females masturbate and in older adults

aged 57 64 years roughly 63 percent of

men and 32 percent of women masturbate

people masturbate for many reasons these

include pleasure enjoyment fun and

tension release some individuals

masturbate alone while others masturbate

with a partner

here are dangers and side effects of

masturbation

1. decreased sexual sensitivity

aggressive or excessive masturbation

techniques that involves too tighter

grip on the penis may lead to reduced

sexual sensitivity and this happens when

the pudendal nerve which stimulates or

provides sensation to both the penis

anus perineal region and scrotum

develops issues as a result of excessive

masturbation leading to loss of

sensitivity in the penis penile numbness

and erectile dysfunction so any decrease

in penis sensitivity will result in less

sexual satisfaction and it's possible

that you may struggle to orgasm which

can be frustrating for both Partners you

may have difficulty getting or

maintaining an erection and it could

even be a sign of other underlying

health conditions try taking a break if

you suspect it's affecting your sexual

abilities

2. prostate cancer

[Music]

even though a study found that men who

ejaculated more than five times each

week during their 20s and 30s were

one-third less likely to develop

aggressive prostate cancer than those

who ejaculated less often as this

prevents the buildup of cancer causing

agents in the prostate gland a recent

research showed that men who ejaculated

more often through frequent masturbation

than sex during their 20s and 30s have

increased risk of prostate cancer

3. edema

if you frequently masturbate too much in

a short space of time you will

experience a slight swelling up of the

penis edema due to the buildup of fluid

in the tissue though this swelling

usually disappears within a couple of

days if the lymph vessels that carry

this fluid around the penis become

blocked there's also a risk of getting a

temporary hard lump lymphocell which is

generally painless

4. guilt

some people who worry that masturbation

conflicts with their religious spiritual

or cultural beliefs may experience

feelings of guilt after every session of

the ACT however masturbation is not

immoral or wrong and self-pleasure is

not shameful discussing feelings of

guilt with a friend Healthcare

professional or therapist that

specializes in sexual health might help

a person to move past feelings of guilt

or shame that they connect with

masturbation

5. disrupting daily life

people who engaged in excessive and

increased frequency of masturbation have

been found to develop issues carrying

out their responsibilities and

relationships duties causing them to

miss work school or important social

events interrupt a person's daily

functioning serve as an escape from

relationship issues or substitute for

real-life experiences some develop

introverted lifestyle leading to

withdrawal from friends and family

Consulting a doctor or a counselor for a

talk therapy to determine ways to manage

this sexual behavior can be very helpful

sore penis

this is just as penis edema caused by

frequent and excessively or too vigorous

handling of the penis leading to your

penis becoming sore and red this

soreness causes the shaft or body of the

penis to have blisters or bumps this

soreness if not treated May develop over

time becomes severe and some might lead

to increased infection

experts and researchers in sexuality

agree that masturbation is completely a

normal process for human beings and is a

healthy sexual behavior but becomes a

big problem when it's in excess and

affecting one's lifestyle and

responsibilities and this has a bad

reputation because it is an intensely

private sexual behavior which no one

discusses even with their closest

friends.
