Telling Doctor about Masturbation

This is something I have not seen discussed. My Doctor, after examining my prostate and finding it in good shape, told me that men who have sex often have less prostate problems. He said it was obvious that my wife and I still had an active sex life.

It was then that I decided to take a chance and be truthful with him and admit that we were not having sex very much at all. Then I asked him if masturbation could have the same effect, and he said that it could. He asked me if I masturbated often, and I told him that I did, at least twice a week. He said "Well, that seems to be making the difference for you, so keep at it!"

I was a bit embarrassed to admit to my Dr. that I jacked-off, given my age, but I am relieved now that I did. He even said that he believed most men my age did masturbate, but that few of them were as honest as I.

 

How old are you? Most doods jack off man.

Me and my wife don't have much sex either.

 

no biggie.
i tell my female doc that i smoke weed, and jerk off.

 

Your Doctor said that?

Prostate problems far more to do with weight and diet, like with just about everything else in the human body.

I'd get a new Doctor if I were you

 

yea, is ur doc a chic or somthin?
im guessing a male doctor would know better than this.

 

Dr. Vanilla, Dr. Satan,

If the half life of the benzodiazepine diazepam is more than 24 hours, and dosing is recommended twice before the half life has been reached, does this cause build up in the system?

If so, how much? Would it correspond with each daily dosage? Say, 5mg today, 5mg tomorrow (24 hours later) thereby reaching at least 6 hours from half life elimination. Would the amount in the body be 7.5mg? Would this continue until there was a build up?

Thank you! Much needed info!

 

Ahaha; my turn!

Vanilla, scientific study has shown that relieving yourself often (whether through sex or masturbation) far lowers your risk of prostrate disease and cancer, as you are 'flushing' yourself out basically. Over the past 5 years or so, I have read countless articles on the subject.

Satan, I also am open about my marijuana usage with docs. Good man. Don't be afraid to be nice and loud that you support the leaf.

 

good to hear.
i did not know about the prostate thing.

 

Better you tell him than lie about it like most people do. Afterall, there's absolutely nothing to be ashamed of, it's an incredibly healthy activity, as he told you.

 

Well, I'll have to go Googling then, as I usually read the opposite.

Not that they can really be seperated, bad diet -> unhealthy -> more tired -> less sex or lower libido thus not wanting to have a tug as much -> prostate enlargement.

By that logic too it would seem that those born destined to have a low libido end up winning the prostate cancer lotto Hmmmm.

Nothing is that simple

 

No doubt that unhealthy lifestyles will effect you chances quite a bit! I have just read that stimulation of the prostate keeps it healthy.

 

I've read this is a few of my sex books along the way. I believe it to be true, even better if you have a wife that will help out along the way any significant growth they could notice it before hand

 

Regardless of the impact it has, I would not talk to my doctor about it.

 

I don't have any problem at all discussing masturbation with my doctors (group practice), regardless of whether I get to see the male or the female doctors.

It's a subject I've already had to cover because of some growing scar tissue causing it to tighten on my foreskin, which may (although hopefully not) eventually have to result in circumcision, but for now she's prescribed me with a steroidal cream.

The way I see it is that masturbation has to be the most common & natural of all sexual activity, so is bound to be something that doctors are going to be well versed in.

Masturbation is not any kind of perversion, so is certainly nothing to be ashamed of, so it's always baffled me why anyone should consider it as a taboo subject.

 

Yes, studies in Australia have determined that masturbation does help prevent prostate cancer.

Also, drinking red wine is an anti-oxydent that also alleviates heart problems.

So, if you have to take a daily medication why not red wine and whacking off.

Live Long and Happy.

 

I also have a female doctor...when she told me that I should stop masturbating... "why?" I asked...she said "because I need to examine you!"

 

VGor man - you're crazy. The prostate is dependent on orgasm to keep well. That's what it does, jerk. You must be the original believer in hairy palms, acne dicks, and priest purity. Too bad. Try science for a change!
