side effects of masturbation ??

I am 18 year old boy who masturbates around 3 times a week... i dont have any problem apart from temporary weakness and i dont want to go to gym for workout on dat day if i masturbates.. But my question is that ' can masturbation lead us to problems in future such as premature ejaculation,lack of hardness,weak eyesight, hairfall ,etc ?? I have heard these things from some people who suggests me to stop masturbation but it is very difficult to completely stop it !!! So anybody who can help me on this issue and tell me if I shud continue masturbation or not?? OR does masturbation have any sideffects ??? PLEASE HELP !!!

Abstinence (from MB, that is!!) will indeed pay off and there will be high vigour and strength and sexual endurance.

To the thread poster, too much MB will indeed lead to premature,ejaculation because your internal penis muscles will be weakened from too much MB and thus it won't be able to hold the semen for long - it may be over b4 it's even begun!

I don't know. All i know is that right now if I had sex I wouldn't last long. But what I hope will happen is that I will be able to recover faster. Usually when I had sex with my ex I could only go once. I couldn't go again for a couple hours and even then my erection wouldn't last and wouldn't be as hard.

I can tell you that I'm enjoying this new found vigor in my personality since i haven't done anything. I hope my celibecy pays off the next time I have sex.

There are actually side effects from TOO much. If you limit it to say once a week, then it should be fine. Personally, I'm stopping for a very long and indefinite time or until I meet someone - then I'll be stronger, fitter, more healthy and generally feeling better.

But if you must do it - at least only once a week.

As I've mentioned before - do it too much and you will see drops in hormones which lead onto weakened immunity and tiredness etc.

As a woman, I can't personally address what you're feeling. But, from all the men that I've known... and I've known and been with quite a few... I've never heard any attribute weak eyesight, hair loss and lack of hardness to masturbation. Those symptoms sound more like biological "aging" issues that one would expect to see in older males... or, issues associated with someone undergoing severe anxiety and stress.

But, if you think masturbation is the underlying cause... cut back and give it a rest and see if you experience any improvement. Given your young age(s), my sense is that the mentioned "side effects" have more to do with what's going on between the ears than what's happening below the belt line.

btw, don't masturbate as much as '3 times a week' - it'll drain you. The drug like high from masturbating shatters you. Minimises it - to do this, keep yourself busy everytime and take control of your brain and not vice versa.

No, what are they all on about?? Masturbation definitely has temporary and permanent side effects-click my profile ans read my post on masturbation - all of it, obviously the sexuality issues won't apply to you but the masturbation issues will - my post is the most recent, August 2010.
Masturbation currently accounts for my tiredness and headaches the next day after doing it and is the cause of my teumporary uncontrolled (almost schizo thoughts!). It lowers the attention span and focus. My leg muscles feel weak after and general muscle tiredness. Look like I'm tired or hung over after masturbating. Later side effectsas you get older - loss of libido earlier than most, half erections, muscle loss - basically all due to low hormones caused by TOO much masturbation.
If I were you, I'd only do it a few times a month. Also, take small doses of L-arginine amd ZMA supplements to maintain hormone levels and good health and eat more veg than usual.
See my post to see my real life side effects.

Those side effects are not true, don't worry about what they have said.

Masturbation is perfectly normal, and everybody masturbates, it's normal to feel confused about it, but it's perfectly harmless.

Generally people don't like to talk about it, so it leads to people getting the wrong impression and maybe even feeling guilty.

It's a very personal thing and probably none of us feel comfortable talking about it openly until we meet that very special person :)
