Are There Any Side Effects Of Masturbation?

default
Posted on Fri, 17 Jul 2015
Question: Hi, I am 22 male and I have been practicing prone masturbation for about 8 years now. And I did by watching some videos. But for some months I have been doing it the conventional way. Most of the times I get an erection but at times my hands just get tired. Reading few articles made me worry. And that nervousness doesn't make me ejaculate with a girl. I masturbate weekly 4-5 times. And I have been doing it conventionally now. Is there anything to worry about? Can you give me some techniques to cure it. What to do what not to do.
Thanks

Brief Answer:
This is safe and there is nothing to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

First of all I like to make it clear that doing masturbation is completely safe and there are no harms associated with it.

There are few internet websites who claim adverse effects of prone masturbation but scientific community is clear that prone masturbation is equally safe except situations which is associated with trauma or lacerations which rarely occur to a normal person. It can be said that if your masturbation was painless there is no need to worry.

There is no techniques required to cure it as it is just a normal phenomenon.

I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards

But does it effect the sexual life? Like erection problems. ED. because I have read that during intercourse it doesn't feel like the pressure during prone masturbation.

Brief Answer:
No

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for reverting back to me.

If you are talking about healthy stokes website or some other website please correct your knowledge that website have false information.

There is no scientific truth about what website claims.

When you read over internet go through scientific websites and be aware that not everything is proved. In fact anybody can write anything over internet.

Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
