Is masturbation unhealthy? I'm getting much better at social

don't do it too much. Once every 2 weeks is fine

Physiologically speaking masturbation is 100% identical to sex to the male reproductive system. If masturbating too much was unhealthy then so would be having sex too much. It's not.

masturbation is completely healthy

certain methods are healthier than others. you can desensitize yourself by being rough or by being circumcised. you can also do some things with your mind by watching very specific porn or very extreme porn.

it's all pretty easy to undo. most of sexual gratification is mental, so even a person who masturbates roughly to videos of beheadings or something can recondition themselves to have proper sex in under a year

poster above seems to have the idea that sexual release is unhealthy, that or they have some misunderstanding of what masturbation is

>Is masturbation unhealthy?
Inherently, no. It can become unhealthy if you let it, but so can everything else in life.

>I don't want to be a limp dick.
Has it given you a limp dick so far? Because you just complained about how horny you've been. And for the record, abstaining from orgasm actually lowers your testosterone.

>Also, I hear stories about how woman can sense weakness in men who jerk off and find it repulsive.

Don't be a retard. That's a much bigger turn-off.

No. Watching porn is unhealthy. Masturbating is no more unhealthy than having sex.

It's extremely unhealthy you fucking idiot.... you're probably the dumbest motherfucker to walk the earth.. this video is your only salvation

I don't know. A while ago, I was with an 8/10 but had trouble staying erected. I wasn't sure if it was because I masturbated, or something else.

Nerves most likely

Don't jerk off every day

Everything in moderation annon,

>>18389366

quitting masturbation was the best thing I've ever done

>>18389366
Masturbation is not unhealthy (as long as you don't overdo it), but porn is.

How can porn be unhealthy but fapping isn't?

>>18390015
over use of porn causes ED

and if you lack critical thinking (which most people do) it significantly changes your expectations and perspectives about sex

>>18389366
Physically no. Its supposed to ward off prostate cancer even.

Mentally, depends completely on the individual.

Could do nothing, could make you sexually withdrawn from realistic experiences and over idealise women. As in play out of your league.

Can also wreak havoc on your relationship if youre in one. I had to stop watching porn because i stopped having sex with my girlfriend..

And shes a 10. Not braggin this is anonymous i got nothing to prove. Just adds to my point.

I never watch porn, and masturbation was one of the worst habits of my life.

>>18390021
Critical thinking does not influence psychological rewiring from habits.

If anything it helps you recognize warning signs and avoid behaviour. But your brain does aa your brain do.

How dare you throw out critical thinking like you know exactly what it is and think it makes you invulnerable to behavioural changes.

This and no porn

>>18389838
This could be accurate if actually having sex weren't astronomically better than jerking off.

>>18389838
Cool, using a letter from the 30's to say masturbation is evil

>>18389838

Tho this is dated, it does make sense anon.

Masturbation is normal just don't do it to porn (as it'll mess up your brain reward center).

>>18390557
Do it to what then?
Is jacking off to 2D bad?

>>18390021
This. Porn is definitely bad for you. Kills sex drive, creates unrealistic sexual needs and desires become normalized, detaches the viewer from their own need for actual sex with another human being, etc...
I was never against it until I got to college. Always knew it wasn't good, but idk I wasn't puritanical or anything. Doesn't matter that it's smut or distasteful, it's effects on the brain are what matters. No ideological beef with it, it's all about what it does to the user.
