Masturbation Myths

Masturbation Myths - Why?

There are several different reasons why myths about masturbation come about. On this page, we try to investigate them as best we can. We explain why they are not the truth and why they are such popular rumors in the first place.

The Truth - What Is It?

The truth is this: Masturbation is very common among men and women of all ages, including mature people and the very young. In fact, it is the most frequent method used to produce an orgasm in the world. There are many ways it can be done. It is also true that there is nothing wrong with people who do not masturbate. The Advanced Masturbation.com website is only a documentary on the topic, so we're not interested in getting you to masturbate more or less often (or at all for that matter). Our goal is only to present an advanced and wider viewpoint on the subject.

Masturbating Myth	Why It Can't Be True	Where the Myth Comes From
MYTH: Masturbation will cause you to go blind	Stimulation of the sexual organs causes no deterioration of the ocular nerves or any other parts of the body involved in the function of eyesight.	This myth goes back many years. Blindness used to be one of the ultimate forms of punishment. It was often an alternative to the death penalty if the judge was trying to avoid allowing the guilty man from becoming a martyr. The further back in history we look, the more serious of an issue blindness was. The blind have a long history of mistreatment, institutionalization, superstition, and stigma. It has only been in recent decades that societies realized there are ways for blind people to live normal lives with the use of adaptive inventions like Braille.
MYTH: Masturbation causes hairy palms	In general, there are no active hair follicles on the human palms. It is not a typical genetic feature at all regardless of masturbation.	This myth is a mix between a joke and a tricky way to see if a friend masturbates. This joke is especially common among young men. One guy says to the other, "Did you know masturbation causes hair to grow on your palms?" The other may respond (without thinking) by looking at his palms to check. If he checks, then he supposedly must be a masturbator. If he doesn't check, then he probably has not started masturbation yet or simply does not know what it is. If he challenges the statement with an argument and proof that masturbation does not cause hair on the palms, then he may be someone who is willing to talk further about his own masturbation. Some people just think this is a funny trick. Others use it to see if a person is willing to talk about their masturbation knowledge. Of course, it has been used a bit too much over the years. Most people have already heard of it.
MYTH: Masturbation causes acne	Pimples are mainly caused by a combination of natural skin oils and microscopic bacteria. Masturbation (or lack of it) does not cause a change in these two factors.	During puberty, the frequency of masturbation usually increases. It is just a coincidence that acne also tends to increase during puberty. They are usually fist noticed around the same time, but that does not mean one has anything to do with the other.
MYTH: Infant or toddler masturbation is a sign of poor parenting	Infant and toddler masturbation is actually much different from adolescent and adult masturbation. Although toddler / infant masturbation is not motivated from the desire to achieve a sexual climax, it is a normal and major part of psychological and psycho-sexual development process. Biologically, as the nerves in the body develop, a baby starts to notice that the sexual organs are more sensitive than other parts of the body. Human brains crave stimulation and it is natural for a child to feel themselves down there. Ultimately, most children learn through parental guidance that touching themselves is not to be done in public or at inappropriate times. It's best to simply teach a child the meaning of privacy. Help them understand that touching down there is private rather than punishing or them making them feel guilty. This lesson should be along the same lines as teaching a child not to take their clothes off and run around naked. The same line of reasoning can be used with a child who may not understand at first.	Parents usually feel very conscious that their child is a reflection of themselves. It can be quite embarrassing when a child masturbates in public or at inappropriate times. This parental fear turns into rumors, and sometimes parents use this event to start gossip about other parents, etc. However, it happens while a child is learning and developing. It happens more often in some children than in others.
MYTH: Masturbation before puberty causes problems	About 50% of people surveyed have already masturbated to orgasm before puberty. Of these people, there is a normal range of development and puberty sequences. Puberty is caused by the body's genetic and hormonal program to grow from a child into an adult. This is like an internal "clock" that kicks in regardless of masturbation, lack of it, past experiences with it, or the frequency of it.	The majority of people have concerns about whether they are growing to fast or too slow during puberty. Often, they blame it on increased masturbation or past masturbatory behaviors. However, there is no real connection between masturbating and actual development.
MYTH: Everyone Masturbates	Like any other thing that people do, it is rarely true that "everyone" does it. It is true that the majority of people masturbate. It is also true that almost all people have done it at some point in their life. However, it is not true everyone masturbates regularly. The reasons for not masturbating range from spiritual inspirations to plain lack of interest in it (and many other reasons too).	There is an old joke that says: "95% of men masturbate. The other 5% are either lying or don't have hands". In reality, the majority of both men and women do masturbate, and most of them enjoy it. However, 95% is a very high and unlikely number. It is simply not true that 100% of people do it regularly. Additionally, it is also not true that you need hands in order to masturbate. Rubbing the sexual organs against a pillow, bed, or other object for the purpose of sexual stimulation also fits the definition of masturbation.
MYTH: Masturbation causes disease, health problems, or mental problems	The physical body and brain simply can not tell the difference from sex or masturbation. Generally speaking, if masturbation caused these problems, than sex would also cause them. Neither is true.	Lots of people suffer from health issues and there are many products on marketed for problems they do not actually cure. A scammer knows most people masturbate, so they figure they can sell you an "herbal pill" or some other substance that is supposed to help you stop masturbating in order to cure a problem that was never caused from masturbation in the first place. Meanwhile, neither the masturbation or the unrelated health problem stopped, but the scammer has already spent your money. Nobody bothers to sue in a court of law because they are embarrassed, and the cost of litigation usually costs much more than the product scam.

Masturbation shrinks the penis?
Masturbation Myths
I heard masturbation causes the penis to shrink each time it is done.
---------
RE: Masturbation shrinks the penis?
True, but not really. Shrinking happens within moments after masturbating as the erection goes down and afterwards. Fortunately, the phenomenon is temporary and goes away anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours. However, it is not true that masturbation will cause the penis to shirk in any permanent way.
Editor's Note: Absolutely not true. Masturbation will not affect penis size permanently. It causes an erection to subside, but the penis does not actually shrink because someone masturbates often.

Editor's Note: There is scientific data that has concluded masturbation and/or sex is healthy for the prostate in several ways. However, these studies are from a perspective that compares men who masturbate or have sex regularly over a period or years or throughout their lifetime. Most of the studies say men that masturbate or have sex a a few times a week (about 3 to 5) generally have healthier prostates than men who masturbate or have sex less often (like once a month). Your specific question would be hard to answer in general for all men. However, there certainly would be no harm in trying it. I'm just not sure every man would experience immediate results by masturbating more often. I think it's a long-term type of thing.

Bent Penises
Masturbation Myths
I've heard that masturbating can cause your penis to bend to the left or right.

Editor's Note: Absolutely not true. It is natural across the spectrum of all men that approximately 30% of men have a noticeable bend in their penis. This is usually only noticeable during and after puberty, but it is a coincidence. The curve or bend just happens to develop around the same time the penis grows at puberty, which is also around the same time masturbation becomes more frequent.

Editor's Note: Pheromones are emitted from certain areas of the body. These chemicals are believed to increase arousal by way of subconscious smell. But I'm not sure about "foul odors" related to masturbation. I don't think the masturbation would have anything to do with it even if the pheromone theory is true.

Period disorder from masturbation?
Masturbation Myths
I have recently started masturbating a lot, mostly with the shower, deodorant cans or by riding pillows. I noticed that I haven't had my periods since January now, I am worried but I don't think I am pregnant as I haven't has sexual intercourse with anyone, I am worried masturbation has stopped my periods. Please help.
-------------
RE: Masturbation and periods
I am saddened to see the entry by the girl who thinks her periods are stopped by masturbation. I am 29 years old, and have been masturbating since before my teenage years...and enjoy it very much. I masturbate on a very regular basis, and have sex regularly with my live in boyfriend. I have NEVER had a stop in my periods because of masturbation. If her observation were true, I would NEVER get my period. If there was a stop, it was for lack of ovulation. You're young, and your body will continue to change every year. This will not be the last time your periods are out of whack. Masturbation is healthy and fun. It shouldn't scare you.
Editor's Note: Some young women experience erratic or changes in their period cycles during development. This can be in the form of missed periods or more than one period per month. Most girls begin masturbating more frequently around the same time they begin developing into an adult, but this is just a timing coincidence with the fact that their periods may not be on time at that age also.

Editor's Note: You are correct. Women masturbate because of the same sexual urges. However, masturbation is a different experience for men from the beginning of their lives. The most sensitive and sexually arousing part of the male sex organ is the head of the penis. The head is constantly being stimulated by the foreskin, or clothing, or water in a shower, or anything on the man's lap, etc. In addition, the penis shaft and the testicles are also both very sensitive and constantly being stimulated by rubbing against clothing, etc. Even when a man urinates, he has to handle his whole penis. Therefore, the entire male genital is exposed to whatever it comes in contact with. Since men have this "outdoor plumbing" the stimulation, importance, and sensations are constantly being focused on the penis. The man has no choice but to always be overly aware of his penis, and he can sometimes get an erection even at unexpected times. These facts motivate a man to experiment and masturbate more often because the genitals are just sticking out there right in the center of the body. With women, the most sensitive and sexually arousing parts tend to be more "undercover" because of the protective layers from the labia lips and the clitoral hood. Women's "indoor plumbing" is less exposed, and getting inside the vagina usually requires some tender foreplay prior to the ultimate sexual stimulation of the clitoris and the interior vagina.

Too much masturbation causes premature ejaculation
Masturbation Myths
I have a high sex drive but am not currently in a physical relationship so I masturbate a lot. Sometimes 3 or 4 times a day. I also suffer from the ever embarrassing premature ejaculation and wondered if this may be caused by too much jerking off. I've been doing it since before I was even producing seminal fluids. I'm 43 now, talk to me about the myths and truths.

Editor's Note: The masturbation in and of itself is not increasing your chances of having premature ejaculation. However, sometimes the specific masturbating types of habits or the methods a man uses to masturbate can increase your chances of having premature ejaculations. Often when men are masturbating, they want to get to the climax as soon as possible. This can be due to a variety of reasons such as limited time for privacy while living with parents and siblings. Many men even engage in masturbation contests with their friends to see who can ejaculate first. The man who ejaculates first is considered the "winner". Some men also tend to want to reach a climax fast when masturbating because it feels more intense to them, like a quick rush of pleasure followed by an explosion of orgasm. There is also a theory that premature ejaculation can be a hereditary phenomenon that can be traced far back to the days of cave-men. After all, if a pre-historic man could quickly ejaculate into a female, his chances of impregnating her would be greater in pre-historic times when there may have been physical competition for females and an urgency to complete sex quickly due to the immediate threats of other things like possibly being attacked by a wild animal at any time. Theoretically, the fast ejaculators would pass on the trait to their male offspring (if it is a hereditary possibility). All of these factors can lead a man's masturbation habits to increase the likelihood of premature ejaculation.

The best and most common treatment is to try to re-train the body through the stop-and-go masturbation method. This technique can be effective by allowing the man to prolong and control his orgasmic response time. Another treatment option some men choose is to masturbate a couple of hours before they plan to have sex. They get the premature ejaculation(s) out of their system and find that when the time for sex comes around, they have already relived the urgent sexual pressures that may be causing the premature ejaculation, and they can last longer during sex. Other options include prescription medications such as antidepressant SSRI pills like Paxil, Zoloft, and maybe Prozac. Some men have found an over the counter solution for premature ejaculation by taking a cough suppressant medication called "dextromethorphan". If you choose this option, make sure the medicine doesn't have any other ingredients besides dextromethorphan. It's best to start with a small dose about an hour before sex and work your way up to more if needed in the future. Too much dextromethorphan will cause you to not be able to ejaculate at all. An overdose of dextromethorphan can cause many temporary (but very scary) problems, so never take the anywhere near a whole bottle!!! It will probably take a few tries to get it right.

Editor's Note: Absolutely not true.   85%+  of us would be bald if it were true!  However, Male Pattern Baldness can begin at puberty or afterwards due to the over-production of a chemical called DHT "DiHydrogenTestosterone". The over-production of this chemical is almost always a hereditary phenomenon. Baldness can skip generations in the family and surprisingly may be inherited from the mother's side of the family rather than the father's side. Some scientists say it can come from either side of the family -- mother, father, grandparents, etc. There are other causes of baldness such as malnutrition, side effects of medication, medical illness, or simply natural aging.

Masturbation Myths
I've heard that if someone masterbates too much, his balls will inevitably turn blue or be swollen. It's just lies of course.

Editor's Note: Absolutely not true. In fact, the opposite is more likely. The term "blue balls" is often a figurative term used to describe a man feels like he is really so horny that he needs to masturbate or have sex soon because he is feeling some discomfort down there due to the build-up of the fluids and sexual tension. However, the testicles do not really turn the color blue. It's just a figure of speech.

Editor's Note: Medical people already assume that the vast majority of their patients masturbate. Believe it not, even medical people masturbate. If they are properly educated professionals, then they know masturbation is simply a fact of life. In addition, there is no way a doctor can definitely tell if a young man has started masturbation yet. But chances are, if the guy has started puberty, he has also started masturbation.

RE: Only Gay People Masturbate?
Well since the majority of people masterbate and the majority of the people in the world aren't gay I'd say your safe to masterbate, it was probably just their effort to stop you doing something they didn't agree with and didn't have a legitimate reason to stop you. It also has the added bonus of not being able to give your self a v. d. (venereal disease) or a S.T.D. (sexually transmitted disease).
Editor's Note: I agree, the majority of people are heterosexual and the majority of people masturbate. Straight and Gay people do it, and all other sexual preferences also do it.

Masturbation Myths
Contrary to what people think of the medical profession, most sensible doctors encourage you to masturbate. I say this because at the age of 11, I had my first nocturnal emission (wet dream). Off I went to see the doc because I was alarmed and because in Asia where I come from, such things are not normally spoken of. All he said was, you're getting old! And its time you learnt how to take care of such things. Whereupon he taught me (and showed me!) how to masturbate. I'm happily in a relationship now, but I still take time out to masturbate when my partner isn't in the mood, not up to it, or not feeling well.

Editor's Note: You are correct. Properly educated doctors realize masturbation is a natural phenomenon.

Editor's Note: Yes, any sexual activity, including masturbation, can cause temporary testicular discomfort (pain). The pain should be temporary. Some people find that taking breaks does help, but others do not.

Editor's Note: There are no known health related consequences from prolonging a masturbation session by the stop and go method. There is a difference between 'stop-and-go' and 'injaculation'. Often they are confused.  There is some evidence to suggest that physically stopping the ejaculation by blocking the hole (injaculation) is not a good habit.

Editor's Note: You are correct.  The habit of fast male masturbation is a leading factor in premature ejaculation over time. This also can be true for masturbation contests where the man who ejaculates first is rewarded. This tends to condition males who participate in such things to ejaculate faster. The good news is, there is plenty of hope for reversing this condition. Premature ejaculation can be treated by retraining the ejaculation response. Masturbating slower while working on prolonging the period before ejaculation and/or working with your partner in foreplay situations can help.

Editor's Note: Usually men who don't masturbate at all tend to ejaculate faster then those who do it in moderation.  However, problems can arise when a man is only interested in masturbating as he denies his partner sex.

Editor's Note: Usually, that is true. However, some men still have wet dreams even with masturbation and/or sex.

does masturbation cause weight lose?

Editor's Note: Sort of, but not much. A typical masturbation session would burn the same amount of calories as jogging for about 4 or 5 minutes.

Editor's Note: No. The leading causes of bad breath are diet or lack of oral hygiene. There are also cases of medically related bad breath.

Editor's Note: It is definitely a legitimate medical concern, but not a medical emergency. It's usually due to a broken blood vessel, but can be a sign of an infection. Both can heal on their own, but it is recommended that you see a doctor if it remains a concern for more than a couple of days.

Editor's Notes:
(1) Please be careful when discussing neurotransmitters and sex/masturbation. The line between fact and fictional theory is not all that clear when it comes to these things. First of all, not everyone responds the same. Those things depend on specific experiences and specific individual preferences. Also, other types of neurotransmitters are involved (besides just serotonin and dopamine). Having said that, it is true that the body does release neurotransmitters during sex and masturbation. This does affect mood and can cause an array of feelings during a sexual experience, including relaxation and tiredness. However, these are not permanent consequences unless there is such profound preoccupation with sexual activities that there is a sexual addiction. Every single possible thing that we do or feel in our life also causes the release of neurotransmitters. A typical sex or masturbation session causes no more neurotransmitter release than a 5 minute brisk walk/ jogging session/bike ride.
(2) We looked into the issue of DiHydrogenTestosterone (DHT), hair loss, and masturbation (once again). There is absolutely no evidence to suggest there is a correlation when it comes to DHT and masturbation. There is simply no conclusive evidence to suggest that they are related. Male pattern baldness and DHT are genetic issues rather than masturbation issues. Most men lose hair as they age. Premature baldness in young men has been proven to be a genetic trait related to high DHT production. That's still the story and we're sticking to it.
(3) We don't need any more commentary about acne and masturbation, so that part of your entry was deleted. The bottom line with acne and masturbation is the fact that quitting masturbation won't cure acne!
(4) Yes -- There are negative side effects to excessive masturbation and sex if it is used as a primary source to try to escape from problems, "medicate", cope, etc. Any addiction can lead to isolation, loneliness, shyness, self-centeredness, and many other problems. However, these are rare and extreme cases.  Anything in excessive quantities is not good, including masturbation. However, when masturbation is moderately used to alleviate sexual urges or to enhance sexual experiences, there are no negative consequences.

Masturbation Myths
Many young males think this as a lot of women feel uncomfortable talking about the subject. However, a lot of women do in fact masturbate, although perhaps not as often as men. They don't always achieve orgasm either.

Editor's Note: Yes, that is correct on all accounts.

Editor's Note: The first part of your entry is a myth. Tasting or "drinking" your own semen is not dangerous. But when it comes to drinking someone else's semen, you are increasing the risk of infection transmission, however most experts agree that oral sex is not as dangerous as vagina or anal sex. Nevertheless, there's still a small chance.

As for the second part of your entry, there are no predefined "signs" of homosexuality. According to surveys, the majority of men have tasted their own semen but the majority of men are not homosexual. In my opinion, tasting your own semen is not straight or gay.

If you're reluctant to try it, maybe I can save you the trouble. Most men say it tastes somewhat salty. Therefore, it's not any kind of mysterious or special flavor.

Editor's Note: This applies to uncircumcised males -- It's actually just the moving of the foreskin up and down that can loosen up the skin to allow it to eventually fully retract.

Masturbation Myths
Yes masturbation (done in a certain way) is often prescribed by doctors as a theraputic remedy for primary phimosis. This allows the foreskin to stretch gradually over time. However surgery or remodelling of the foreskin is prescribed for more severe cases. In fact boys who masturbate frequently (using techniques that invlove pulling the foreskin back) seldomly suffer from severe phimosis.

No. ED (Erectile Dysfunction) is due to a blood flow and blood pressure problem in the penis, usually occurring in older men (sometimes in younger men).

It's not going to injure your health, but if you have a wife or partner, you may with to include them in on some of those sessions if they wish.

It is not good if you press so hard that it prevents an erection or ejaculation from occurring. As long as there is not a lot of weight or pressure on the penis, everything should function normally. Doing it against a hard surface like a floor is not recommended. The scientist is correct, but seems to have exaggerated it. I think the article was called Traumatic Masturbatory Syndrome or something like that.

Yes, often it becomes less as the proportion of the size of the prostate changes with body growth. Younger males usually have tight cramped prostates and seminal vesicles causing more ejaculation. As you become fully grown and older, things tend to have more room from growth and "gravity" over the years. Less pressure is on the glands, which means less ejaculation.

No, but it can stimulate the bladder and sometimes cause a urge to urinate or a false urge to urinate.

No, having sex is losing virginity.

Masturbation Myths
Hi! First of all, thank you so much for the great amount of information available on this site, I think it's just great.

I have been masturbating a little too much for years, I mean it was too much because I used to masturbate twice everyday or even more, and it was not always because I was really longing for sex, but rather as a way to relax myself.

In the last years or so I have noticed that my erections aren't as powerful as they used to be, even tough I can penetrate without bigger difficulties (not so much when I am under my sexual partner) and have pleasent sex.

So I have been surfing on the internet and I have found several sites where an apparently scientific study on overmasturbation was published. This study claims that overmasturbation (it recommends not to masturbate more often than 2-3 times per week) can cause weak erections among other symptoms because frequent masturbation and ejaculation stimulate acetylcholine/parasympathetic nervous functions. Excessive stimulation can result in over production of sex hormones and neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, dopamine and serotonin.

Abundant and unusually large amount of these hormones and neurotransmitters can cause the brain and adrenal glands to perform excessive dopamine-norepinephrine-epinephrine conversion and turn the brain and body functions to be extremely sympathetic. In other words, there is a big change of body chemistry when one excessively masturbates.

I have found that this article is often showed on sites where they want to sell any herbs and similar stuff. The study has no real reference to any scientific institute whatsoever.

Since I suffer overweight and I am already 36, I guess my problem might be my general fitness and not masturbation (even tough I will quit masturbating just out of boredom or daily stress).

What do you think about this, myth or science?

In case you wamted to read the whole article, it'us published for instance on this site: 3w ayurvediccure.com/over_masturbation.htm

Thank you!

Editor's Note: I think it is myth because that link you posted is for a site that sells junk. The site may have articles, but they cannot be trusted, and they are not a decent resource.

I am over 60 and still enjoy masturbating. Will masturbation raise my PSA, cause BPH or ever higher risks of Prostate cancer? I have the first 2 of three I mentioned.

Editor's Note: No raise in PSA numbers and masturbation actually may lower the risk of prostate cancer. There are many news articles on that subject. http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn3942   and   http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3072021.stm  Other that those articles, there is no proven effects from masturbation on PSA, or BPH, enlarged prostate, etc.

Masturbation Myths
I dont understand why my husband lies about it. Before and even during marriage, I asked him how often he did and he said he didnt do it. Then 8 years into our relationship, I caught him doing it in the bathroom, he just seemed mad. Then I caught him again. At first I was sad, because he lied to me about it and he didnt feel comfortbale telling me. Later I was elated that he had a interest in releasing himself. I felt like I my sex drive was higher than his. Finding out that he masturbated ignited a flame in me and I wanted him constantly. He still lies about it. I have good hearing and can hear him in the bathroom and when I walked in he said he was doing situps. All this lying makes me feel distant from him and undesired. I feel like he would rather do that than be with me. He gets so uncomfirtable when I try to talk about it. I'm a lot more open about things and Im also the one who has to ask if we can try differnt things. How can I understand why he masturbates when I am home. We do have kids, but I have needs to . For some reason when we have sex I have 3-5 orgasma, but when I try to masturbate it so stimulating i cant take it .It seems like I need vaginal stimulation aloing with clitoral stimulation to achieve orgasm. Masturabting is too powerful for me. I hope you can help , since I cant even talk to my husband about his w/out him getting weird and uncomfortable. I expressed to him, I felt it was perfectly normal , I just dont know why he hides it from me.

Editor's Note: Does he know that his masturbating turns you on big time?  Have you ever said that to him before sex? Maybe you can get him to do it with you!  However, most men see sex and masturbation as two different things. Men have been masturbating longer than they have been having sex. Masturbation has been a part of their private life since about age 12 (or even earlier). It is difficult for some people do go way back in their history and change their feelings about it. No doubt he had to hide from parents and friends and maybe even siblings when he did it when he was younger. It's only natural that he feels he "should" be hiding it from you.
Note - we almost deleted this question because it seems like it was a "personal problem" rather than a myth. However, the writer actually addresses several masturbation myths in her letter.

Editor's Notes:  No.

Editor's Notes: Yes, that is possible. Frequent masturbation will cause a longer period before orgasm. In fact, many men who feel they ejaculate with their partner too fast use masturbation as a therapeutic technique so they do not ejaculate so quickly. Masturbation plays an important role in overcoming premature ejaculation in several different treatments. It is generally suggested that you masturbate with your partner (at least sometimes) so she does not feel left out.

In your case, 2 hours is rather long. You may have been sexually exhausted from masturbating so much. Sexual exhaustion temporarily causes longer time periods for climax to occur.

Does a certain amount of time have to pass between masturbating or having sex, before a man can climax again. My husband was masturbating in the bathroom and so I asked him to have sex with me right when he got out of the shower. His penis still got hard , but not as Hard as it can get, then he took forever to have an orgasm and hardly nothing came out. This is a first . He swore up and down he wasnt masturbating, I said it was ok ,it would explain things.He said that he took a really hot bath and maybe thats what happened.He said he didnt really know he was just guessing. Is it true if you take a hot bath it can effect your ejaculation or hard-on, or he probably masturbated and when he got out, he needed more time to re-cooperate. When I asked him, he tried to use our daughter as an excuse and when I said why not and then he consented.

Editor's Notes: After a male has a climax, there is a period known as the "refractory period". After an orgasm, this is the time when the penis will be flaccid or semi-erect regardless of his own desires or arousal or sex drive. The refractory period varies widely from man to man, and can vary widely even in the same man on different occasions. A refractory period can be anywhere from a few minutes to well over an hour.

It is also possible that a hot or cold bath could cause this. Male genitals respond amazingly to temperature, especially water temperature. Getting out of a hot bath and then standing in the cooler air of the room will cause the scrotum to begin to retract towards the body and the penis to appear to become "smaller". This is affectionately called "shrinkage" in slang. Rapid temperature changes cause the penis and testicles to either retract up or hang lower. Hot to cold will cause a retraction. Cold to hot will cause them to hang lower.

Masturbation Free site includes pictures, a masturbation suggestion area, masturbation myths dispelled, and a masturbation lube advice page.

Editor's Notes: That has nothing to do with "masturbation myths". However, I wanted to include this question because it is somewhat interesting. The "urge to pee" you feel can be caused by the sensitivity you have caused after several masturbation sessions in a row. The male anatomy becomes more and more sensitive after each session if the sessions are close in time. This sensitivity can cause your brain to think that the nerves down there are being stimulated from a full bladder rather than your sensitive and exhausted plumbing.

Editor's Notes: No.  We have living proof nearby of that being false.

Editor's Notes: It depends. If you are a young man, I would say it is understandable. If you're past 20, then it could be a bit unusual. I'm not sure it's really a big deal either way. It really depends on more information that is not listed in your entry.

Is it normal for semen to just sorta... dribble out, orshould it always shootout? Do I have a bend in my urethra, possibly?

Editor's Notes: It is normal to always dribble or always shoot, or sometimes dribble & sometimes shoot, or have a combination of both in the same ejaculation. A film study by the Kinsey Institute filmed many males ejaculating. The mathematical majority of them were doing more dribbling than shooting. The myth that a dribble is less fertile than a shot is not true. The sperm only need to be a few inches inside the vulva to impregnate a woman.

hi, is Masturbation has relation with morning erection? What might cause the symptom that I wake up without erection?

Editor's Note: Waking up without an erection is not something to worry about. The morning erection is just usually the brain's misinterpretation of the urge to urinate as an urge for sex. Since you're asleep, there's no real way to do a reality check. If it doesn't happen, it is not an indicator that something is wrong.

Masturbation Myths
I have been wieght training hard for about 3 months ...to gain size and weight. I have heard the masturbation causes a loss of testosterone an important factor in a bulking cycle of wieght training. Is this true or is it not signifigant enough to matter?

Editor's Notes: The actual testosterone is not significant to matter. BUT many men report feeling less energy if they masturbate before a workout. This is true. An orgasm sends the body into a state of relaxation afterwards. Generally when you're going to work out, you don't want to be totally relaxed and un-motivated. Most men just adjust their sex / masturbation schedules so the orgasming is happening after workouts rather than before.

Editor's Notes: Generally, there will be more semen if you refrain from masturbating for a few days. This will cause your ejaculation to vary.    As far as "masturbating too much" is concerned, that is an individual thing. The phrase is too vague to put an answer to it.
