I'm not bored, I'm happy. I don't drink alcohol, and try to eat healthily - so what? You don't need to drink alcohol to be happy, or you can drink in moderation and be happy. I drink alcohol sometimes, it's getting drunk every night or drinking every day that's bad for us. Sweets are generally bad for us but again like alcohol are fine in moderation. The same is true with fatty meals, actually these are the least worse on your list. Fatty meals aren't bad in themselves, but if you were to over-eat and eat 'junk food' and get not enough exercise you'd be unhealthy. Masturbation is an addiction like smoking - you need neither to be happy, you just 'need' to keep doing it if you're addicted. Both give the person some pleasure for a few minutes - that's it, no lasting pleasure or happiness. You really do talk a lot of crap.
well- I'm gonna' do it (or stop doing it actually) This thread has made me think that i might be excessively tired from jerkin' the gherkin. therefore, I will stop for a significant amount of time and see what happens. Unfortunately, when I don't wank often, my sex drive becomes excruciating and hard to control. Ie; I pop huge boners that I can't get rid of. I guess I'll have to wear briefs again so I don't walk around with a tent below my belt.
A person can give up many ,many things/activities to hopefully extend life(I assume that would be the purpose of your ideas/research-that is unless what you advocate--abstension -comes from religious drivel ,which it sounds like to me) for a few years,but where would the pleasure come from?Short of being ridiculously reckless with our bodies,enough to- say-bring on a premature death due to grossly over eating the wrong foods or smoking,or risky behavior like hangliding,rock/cliff climbing,ect,basically I think it comes down to genetics when our time comes,we're all going to end up dead-that's for sure.Am I missing the point here-are we to ,according to some folks ideas of chemistry,just supposed to sit in bubbles,indulging in nothing that is risky(?)pleasurable,and hope that the quantity of our lives is as important as the quality?We're not born with guilt--it is taught.-------As to your question about my being stupid---yup-sometimes.Sometimes not.
You're brave enough to not be a sheep like 99% of people on this forum. I can guarantee that if you adopt a 'hand off' policy your health will GREATLY improve AFTER four weeks. It's usually really bad for the first few weeks because it's like coming off Heroin - so at first you'll feel like shit, but hang in there because after four weeks you''ll feel great and realise what a pathetic addiction you had. There is a lot of support at wetdreamforum.com
Well- I don't disagree with you, buddy. However, if some of this was directed at me, I believe you misunderstood my intentions. I'm trying to spend my life doing things that make me feel good (without significantly shortening my life span). The following statement is not aimed at you: Personally, I believe that masturbation has very little to no effect on one's life expectancy, etc... I'm just abstaining, because I feel like total shit every day. I've been to doctors, had tests, tried everything imaginable to bring myself out of this funk. Masturbation is just something else I want to rule-out. Fibre: Thanks for the support and information. It's much appreciated. To those who habitually masturbate: enjoy it.
No,I understand you hip.It's just that these kinds of "don't do this,don't do that" stuff seems always to come from religious naysayers when it pertains to anything to do with sex.For Fibre to use the words-"stupid--sheep--pathetic--and addiction"is not a rational way to sell a point.
I see what you mean. Though I choose not to smoke dope or drink alcohol, I don't judge those who do. I even have a lot of friends who do that shit. It kinda' bugs me when people judge that kind of behavior. In otherwords, I agree with you. Edit* Ooh la la! my 69TH post! Everyone loves 69.
I'm not selling anything. I'm giving people the facts, since 99% of you are ignorant about how unhealthy masturbation is. I've already said I'm not religious and what I've said is based on scientific fact, which I've linked to.
Why do you care so much about what others do?If you don't want to masterbate--don't.Yes ,I think you're religious.
hmm, this all seems very logically to me. i know that my boyfriend masturbates, but i don't know how much, and i don't really want to either. in my opinion, that is something between a man(or a woman) and himself to know. should i be worried? does this go for girls aswell?
Hey Naoki! If you're BF is masturbating he's not giving all of his sexual energy to you, he's disrespecting you. He's being selfish and maybe fantasising about other people. You'd be better off without a creep like that. Your relationship with him will fail unless he quits.
well, that didn't make me feel very good, but i guess it is better to know the whole truth than to live in a fantasy world. does this mean that i am a bad girl friend to him if i...well, yeah ya know too?
I think masturbating gives you less desire to have sex or kiss your boyfriend - why would you want to be sexual with him if you can have sex with yourself? It's bad for relationships.
Having sex with another person is entirely different from masturbation. Giving pleasure to your partner has a positive effect on you.
This is true. I have been with women who have been through failed relationships, and every time it seems that the reason the relationships failed has been simply because, as far as sex was concerned, the man merely as a hole with which to release his own sexual tensions. I must admit that when I first lost my virginity I was guilty of much the same thing, with no finesse whatsoever, believing that intercourse must physically be exactly the same thing as masturbation & when hammering away, believing this to be the only possible way to reach an orgasm. Within seconds she cried out for me to take it easy, as this pounding with my more than generous girth was causing her discomfort, so I did as I was directed & concentrated on following her lead - a motion that was so slow that I wouldn't have thought it possible to climax, but the sensation was electric, and the eventual orgasm was out of this world. Since then, it has always been my aim to bring the woman to her first orgasm before even attempting penetration. What pleasure you focus on giving is returned tenfold. Masturbation, whilst an essential part of avoiding an overload of sexual frustration and extremely pleasurable does not provide the same sensations as having sex for real. However, although the sensations may not be the same, they can be just as enjoyable.
