I'm 21, and I've been masturbating 2-3 times a day for... well, quite a while. I never thought it was dangerous, cuz I've always heard there is no such thing as doing it too much. Well, I just found out that overdoing it can cause parasympathetic nerve damage, seminal leakage, soft / weak erection, etc. Now, I'm not leaking anything, I don't have a premature ejac. problem, and I don't think I have any nerve damage (but then again, I'm not sure if I'd notice a slow decline over time). What I have noticed, and I thought maybe it was just my imagination, was that I'm not as long as I used to be. It doesn't bother me too much, because it's still not a size to be ashamed of, but obviously I'd rather not have shrunk at all... But I hear that shrinkage can also be caused by over-masturbating. I'm not addicted to it by any means, I can go without doing it, it's really only when I'm bored at home and I think "Eh, why not?" So, if I stop, or at least cut down significantly, will any damage that I may have done (again, I don't notice anything wrong, but just in case...) be reversed?
Quit believing those Sunday School rumors. Since the age of twelve, I have had an addiction and enjoyed every moment at about your rate.. I haven't shrunk, leaked, run out, lost the starch, turned to viagara, or lost interest. I've had a healthy sex life with lotssa women, and at last months sperm count I was still up there with the best of 'em. Nor do I have any intention to ever slow down, although death at 90 may hamper my addiction. Compared to drugs, cigarettes, alchohol, or right wing 'propriety,' it's safe as rainwater! Wank away, Random1 - life's a kick.
I've never understood the whole "eh, why not?" thing with guys. I don't want to knock you down on anything, but when I'm at home alone, I either want to masturbate or I find something else constructive to do. Like I said before, I've got nothing against it (my BF says the same thing) it just strikes me as odd
The only thing you are suffering from Random1 is a very healthy Libido, how can stroking your dick harm you if having sex 2-3 times a day doesn't???? You can damage your dick, but not by stroking it. You would have to be one of those guys that likes slapping his dick real hard or beats the fuck out of it. Another example would be guys that are heavy into sport i.e. Karate or Boxing where its common to be kicked or punched in the dick which can result in minor tissue damage, but again nothing that's going to stop you from getting an erection or make your dick smaller or even leak. The only thing that causes a "soft" erection in a guy is a Lack-of-Interest or old age; as the arteries get clogged from years of bad diet the blood-sacks in the penis also get clogged preventing a healthy blood flow. Which reminds me of a joke: An old man is walking down the street and sees a little boy sitting on the sidewalk crying. The old man asks the little boy, " why are you crying?" The little boy responds, "I can't do what the big boys do." The old man sat down and started crying too. Basically if you damage the soft tissue when it heals the scar tissue will cause your dick to bend to the side. As far as masturbating too much I agree with Fastswitch, don't believe the rumors that are created by people who believe "the penis is bad and dirty." As a matter of fact I read a medical report a few years back that stated guys should masturbate at least 5 times a week in order to have a healthy prostate as they get older. As far as the penis getting smaller as you get older is wrong too. Most guys get a big gut as they get older and the extra fat tissue around the pelvic area makes the penis "appear" to be getting smaller. By the way at age 21 if you weren't pulling on your dick 2-3 times a day I'd be worried. Just lay back and enjoy you have nothing to worry about.
Sassssssssss, you are an advisor and confidant after my own heart. Brilliant answer! Then there's the guy, hops outta bed on his 90th birthday, congratulates the rest of his body on making it 90 years,looks to his crotch and speaks softly, "and Willie, if you'd of lived, you'd be 90 too."
Thanks Fastswitch, That’s what I like about our Forum, we can become enlightened as well as give clarity and put to rest misinformation and “ole wife’s tales.”
Sorry guys, I've been on a cruise for the past week and had no internet access. Thanks for the reassurance. I didn't think anything bad would come of it, but I still wanted to check just in case.
