unhealthy for men to not masturbate?

i've been hearing that a lot, but i don't know if there's any validity to it.

anyone?


i'm trying to see how long i can go without it, but not if it's unhealthy

oh. and also i've heard that smoking cannabis seeds sterilizes men.
anyone? anyone?

 

It's definitely been recognized that, for men and women, a healthy amount of orgasms a month improved health. There are a lot of reasons for that. There's no health risk though, per se, in not doing it. People sometimes go through less active periods sexually. Nothing to worry about.

Also, the "healthy number of" was like twenty something a month i believe... but i don't recall reading that more than that was harmful.

 

A recent study revealed that men who consistently have orgasms 15-20 times a month have healthier prostate glands later in life than men who don't use it as much - they tend to lose it more. That could be mutual or solo orgasms - either works.
I do think, however, that too much masturbation makes it difficult to switch to heterosexual sex. Moderation is best.

Your testes continually produces sperm, and if it is not released manually or during intercourse, after a week or so it will take charge and you will have a wet dream. So regular sex or masturbation (at least every three or four days) is good for your prostate.

Smoking cannibis in moderation can heighten the sexual experience, since it relaxes you, but like alcohol, use too much and you can't get it up. I am a lay sex therapist, and I have not heard that cannibis could sterilize you - if so, a lot of '60s hippies are now shooting blanks.

ack smoking alot of pot wont help erections and make u shoot blanks later in life? i smoookeee alloooott and now im scared, i want a shit load of kids when im older.

 

one time i went without masturbation for 2 weeks
and i didn't get a wet dream
does this mean that i don't produce enough sperm

 

Tropicana and Thizzlemain -I know some guys who smoked a lot of pot when younger, and they have normal kids. My only point was that if you smoke a lot of joints and then try to have sex right away, it's like drinking a lot of beer and then trying to have sex. Both pot and beer are depressants, which first relaxes you (good) and then if you take too much, it dulls your senses (bad).

If you have not had a wet dream for a while, you won't have one until your body readjusts to the new schedule of no intercourse or masturbation. However, if you masturbated or had intercourse regularly, and then stopped both for two weeks or more, the supply of sperm produced by your testes continues at an elevated level, and you will get a major case of "blue balls", which makes you feel edgy and your testicles will be full and hard as a rock. You will get more erections too, sometimes when you don't want them. If you are worried about your sperm count, and have access to a microscope, jack off privately and put your sperm on a glass slide right away and watch the little fellows squiggle in the microscope. Every time you ejaculate, you expell at least 100 million sperm, and often more. Or you can go to a urologist and have your sperm count tested. Cutted

 

Why, them's tormentee's words.

 

Well to correct the whole having a wet dream thing, you won't have a wet dream if you don't masturbate for a week, or 2 weeks, or 5 years. They've actually have studies that show that's not the cause of it because they're not fully sure why wet dreams happen. Unused sperm actually gets degenerated by the body and absorbed back into it.(kind of nasty, huh?)

 

i forget where i saw this but i remember hearing somewhere that some men who don't ejaculate go to the doctor with pain and it turns out their prostate is filled to the brim, and actually is ROCK HARD because it hasn't been emptied in so long. this is a bad thing, i would assume

 

I went to the doc once when I had an infection of my prostate .He gave me a shot of penicillin and told me to keep it emptied as much as possible.I've tried---lordy how I've tried!

 

maybe if we're discussing "this" or "that" study, it's a good idea to CITE the actual source. just because this or that study found "X", doesn't mean "X" is true - it means there is supporting evidence for it. studies can be conducted poorly, not have a big enough sample group, be biased, etc etc. having a source of a science journal, reputable website (such as a university one that ends in .edu) can at least be a start to finding out what info is actually "out there".

 

yea but i dont smoke

 

Sperm is actually manufactured in the testes, and stays there until just before ejaculation when it travels up two tubes into the prostate where it is mixed with semen (the sticky white stuff) and ejaculated down the urethra, which has been cleansed and lubricated by the fluid from the Cowper's glands ("pre-cum"). You can feel the tubes above the testes in your scrotum.

Both the testes and the prostate have to be exercised regularly to remain healthy, so it really is "use it or lose it". Some sperm is absorbed back into the body, but it is healthier (and more fun) to take action to expel it from the body yourself. Cutted

 

so the testes and prostate get excercised with masturbation rite?

 

Tell me about this pre-cum thing? My girlfriend says that it can still get her pregnent. Is this true? She said she read somewhere that men can pre-cum while having sex and not even realize it. I think it's bull. I think it want get her pregnent, and i think that i'd definitly feel it comming beforehand.

 

pre-cum can contain semen. so yes she could get pregnant from it.
but you should be using a condom to protect from STDs anyway.

geez...the risks some ppl are willing to take to get off...if you care about her and yourself GO AND FIND THIS OUT FROM A PROPER SOURCE! not an internet forum! your health isnt worth taking risks with - and neither is hers!

and how about cititing sources for these "studies" and "facts"? otherwise, quite frankly, anyone could make up anything.

 

To Thizzlemain and Desert Nightmare - Both the testes and the prostate are in action when you masturbate or have sex. The sperm travels up the tubes and mixes with the semen in the prostate and is ejaculated down the urethra - both men and women have 6-8 orgasms 8/10s of a second apart (count them if you can). So orgasms probably don't feel much different for men and women, except for men there is a feeling of releasing something as well.

Pre-cum is the clear fluid from the Cowper's glands which cleans the acidity out of the urethra since it is used also to pass urine, as well as to make a
"slippery slope" for the ejaculate to pass through. It can contain sperm, but in small quantities. Of course, if you have previously had sex to orgasm, and not peed in between, and then have sex to orgasm a little later, some residual sperm could also be in the pre-cum.

Due to pregnancy concerns and STD transmission, always wear a condom. And be careful how you take off the condom after sex so none of the ejaculate spills out, and throw it away. Don't wash it and reuse it, and wash your penis and hands thoroughly after sex.

Boy, i no i should use condoms, but i sure do hate them. I feel like i'm fucking a peice of plastic rather then her. Everytime i have put on a condom i would immediately go limp. I'm serious! Then she gets embarrased for me and puts her close back on.

Also I know this sounds stupid but i'm new at this whole sex thing. Say i cum in a condom, but want to go another round after that. I would need to take off the condom and put another on first, right? I souldn't just leave it on with the cum in the and go again, right? I'm not wanting to waste a shit load of money on condoms, or get her pregnent ya see.

 

Desert Nightmare - There are extra-sensitive condoms which you can buy, which give you a lot of natural feeling. Also, as I said before, do a lot of foreplay first and have her roll the condom onto your penis. And every guy has some times when he cannot perform. There are some positions which are better when the penis is not entirely hard, such as "woman on top". She can guide the penis into her vagina, and is in control.

And each condom is good for only one time - never reuse it or leave it on after cumming - you might squeeze some of the old cum out the second time you go at it and get her pregnant. A little extra money is worth it rather than an unwanted pregnancy. If you have other questions - Ask

no offence but there is nothing to show that the testis and prostate need to be exercised regularly. u're spreading a lot of disinformation here.
