Q. Masturbation harmful/ impotency? Answer: Dear service user Thank you for contacting Healthcaremagic. Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Let me tell you young friend that there is no such thing as excessive masturbation or over-masturbation. Just as excess of sexual intercourse cannot lead to weakness, so also excess of masturbation. This is a natural activity and I would say a healthy activity and does not either affect or deter sexual performance. Masturbation in private or with a partner is generally considered a normal and healthy part of sexual enjoyment. Masturbation is not a disease hence no adverse effects. There is nothing to reverse. Masturbation causes impotency is a myth. Hope, I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help. Wish you good health. MASTURBATION myths Dear Vinod, Thank you for contacting Healthcaremagic. Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. I understand that you do hand sex (masturbation) two to three times in a week for last five years. Let me address your queries one by one 1. You feel that your penis is not enlarging properly. It seems more due to worries regarding effects of masturbation. Don t worry. Masturbation itself is harmless and will not cause difficulty in erection. So relax and just enjoy pleasurable sensation during masturbation. Do not focus on size and your performance during masturbation. 2. Masturbation doesn t cause HIV. It is myth. 3. Concern regarding penile size is as old as human race. The width and length of penis vary from one individual to another. The normal length of vagina is about six inches. Only outer one third and the front wall of vagina have nerve fibers and hence sensitive to stimulation. Rest of inner two third is largely insensitive. So if you want to arouse your partner during sex, you should focus on the areas of maximum nerve endings hence clitoris and inner lips or labia minora, the outer wall and outer two third of vagina. So for female sexual gratification, the size of erect penis could be anything from two inches or more! You remember that what is important is strength and not the length! Entry and to and fro continuous movements are adequate. It is men s technique, not his penis size that characterizes the lover in him. Bigger is better is Godzilla logic. Hope, I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help. Wish you good health. MASTURBATION Dear Rajiv, Thank you for contacting Healthcaremagic.

Let me tell you young friend that there is no such thing as excessive masturbation or over-masturbation. Just as excess of sexual intercourse cannot lead to weakness, so also excess of masturbation.

MASTURBATION AND SEMEN LOSS ANXIETY Dear service user, Thank you for contacting Healthcaremagic. Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns regarding insufficient erection and lesser sperm count. You feel that your penis is not enlarging properly. It seems more due to worries regarding effects of masturbation. Don t worry. Masturbation itself is harmless and itself will not cause difficulty in erection. So relax and just enjoy pleasurable sensation during masturbation. Do not focus on penis size and your performance during masturbation. Masturbation itself doesn t cause any problem with your memory. The anxiety and worries (related to masturbation and semen loss) causes difficulty in concentration hence you do not recall things properly. Masturbation itself does not reduce sperm count. Semen is a body fluid which keeps on generated in body like other body fluids as blood, saliva and tears. When you donate one unit of blood (350ml) your body makes it again within 1 month. Similarly when you spit the mouth restores saliva soon. When you cry the lost tears get restored by our eyes and they do not get dry. Thus semen also keeps on being generated by our sex organs. Hope, I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help. Wish you good health. Dear service user, thank you for contacting Healthcaremagic.

Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns regarding fear of being impotent. Two streams of urine may be due to structural abnormality in urine tube or foreskin of penis. When patients with similar problem come to my clinic I advise them to consult urosurgeon. This is a treatable condition and can be cured by minor surgical procedure. When penis is erect, slight penile curve is a normal thing either left, right, up or down. Hardly anyone has absolutely 90 degree erections. The DHAT is a fluid of sex organs and tiny glands in the way of urine tube which may come out from penis while straining during defecation. It is not semen. The lethargy, back-pain is due to anxiety and worries related to DHAT loss. This fluid loss itself doesn t lead to weakness in body. Semen is a body fluid which keeps on generated in body like other body fluids as blood, saliva and tears. When you donate one unit of blood (350ml) your body makes it again within 1 month. Similarly when you spit the mouth restores saliva soon. When you cry the lost tears get restored by our eyes and they do not get dry. Thus semen also keeps on being generated by our sex organs. It is not precious fluid as you think. So relax and do not get anxious about it. Usually the right testis is little lower then left one. It is normal. If you have doubt, you may consult urosurgeon for that. Hope, I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help. Wish you good health.

Concern regarding penile size is as old as human race. The width and length of penis vary greatly from one individual to another. The normal length of vagina is about six inches. Only outer one third and the front wall of vagina have nerve fibers and hence sensitive to stimulation. Rest of inner two third is largely insensitive. So if you want to arouse your partner during sex, you should focus on the areas of maximum nerve endings hence clitoris and inner lips or labia minora, the outer wall and outer two third of vagina. So for female sexual gratification, the size of erect penis could be anything from two inches or more! You remember that what important is strength and not the length! Entry and to and fro continuous movements are adequate to enjoy coitus and to reach orgasm. It is your technique, not your penis size that characterizes the lover inside you. Bigger is better is Godzilla logic. An occasional episode of erectile failure due to functional or situational reasons like fatigue, tension or own pressure to perform rather to enjoy is very common. This diminishes arousal level and hence erection too. This seems in your case. Remember, sex is largely something what happens between two ears rather that between two legs. Hope, I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help. Wish you good health. Dear service user, Thanks for contacting Healthcaremagic. I have gone through your question and understand your concerns regarding perceived change in consistency of semen. Masturbation is akin to sexual intercourse. What penis does in vagina during sexual intercourse, same it does during masturbation in your folded palm. Just as excess of sexual intercourse cannot lead to weakness, so also excess of masturbation. Masturbation is not a disease hence no adverse effects. Masturbation causes impotency is a myth. In fact there is nothing like excess masturbation . Consistency of semen depends upon depends upon factors like period of sexual abstinence, age and intensity of sexual stimulation. Color, consistency and quantity has nothing to do with virility or sexual satisfaction of an individual. Neither do they have any relation to the partner s satisfaction.
