Side effects of chronic masterbation

[iam_david]

I've always been of the mind that masterbation is safe and healthy as long as a significant other is not being neglected because of it. However I'm currently writing an article, and would like to make sure I'm not steering readers wrong. Litteraly hours of surfing the net has not yielded any long term side effects of chronic masterbation, aside from chaffing of the skin, which of course is not long term and would only occur with very vigorous or very chronic masterbation.

Please get back to me with any information on the effects of chronic masterbation, what would be a normal range for how many times an average male masterbates, what would be the effects of masterbating a great deal more or less, if any.

I apologize if you have answered this before, I did look at several threads on different aspects of masterbation, but nothing that answered this question directly.

Thank you,

Ive been bateing a ton even at work, i have a younger gf too.  Im really depressed as well, i have no friends no money to do anything productive or fun. I golf when i can afford it. And get drunk on the weekends. So i think spankin it has had a negative impact on my life. I might even be bi-polar, but im afraid to be diagnosed. I had a bad childhood as well, when i was 4 my stepfather disaplined me by having me pull down my pants and lay on the bed and hit me with a leather belt across my butt and legs. Pretty messed up eh? I have 2 kids of my own and have never so much as scolded them , old folks compliment me all time about how well mannered and behaved they are. I only loved them and cherished them. Im all around ****** up i know, but sometimes i get the urge to choke it out of bordom for life . And to keep me from cheating on my GF. But im going to quit jerkin the gherkin to see if it cheers me up and gives me the energy to bone my gf more often.

Masturbation itself is safe there aren't any established long-term actual physical difficulties with reasonable genital stimulation routines. Nevertheless, we are able to most encounter several unwanted side effects, whether they tend to be short-term, long-term as well as linked to long-term genital stimulation behavior.
