Can Masturbating Too Much Affect You Later in Life?

Can masturbating anything from 2-5 times a day effect anything years down the line?

I'm 19 years old and I'm basically addicted to having orgasms, sex probably makes up 1% of my orgasms each year (the other 99% sadly being masturbation.) I have heard it could cause erectile dysfunction 15-20 years down the line and also lower my chances of being able to have kids. I do masturbate to porn which I've already identified as a problem, which I'm planning to sort out.

Am I masturbating too much (porn aside)?

Dear J,

The problem with masturbating 5 times a day is always having quick ejaculations instead of building up any sexual excitement so the body can have a fuller orgasm. This is especially true for guys jerking off to porn. Those quick releases are not all that satisfying and a big reason why you do it again and again.

It's great that you are weening yourself off porn that has damaged our youth with images meant to entertain men without teaching them anything about the kind of sex women desire. Or even the kind of sexual release that would be satisfying to men. Porn is just another big greedy corporation raking in the cash.

As for getting more pleasure in your sex life, a good rule of thumb would be longer sessions of masturbation 3 to 5 times a week. Spending at least 10 minutes or more while learning come control and always using some massage oil. Creating your own sexual fantasies in place of canned porn also stimulates the creative side of your brain so there are many benefits from quality masturbation. Not those fast nervous little jack offs that are more like scratching an itch. Also reading about sex and gathering more information is a worthwhile endeavor.

[= 10.5pt; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif]Let me splice in
something after "As for getting more pleasure in your sex life, a good
rule of thumb..." I concur with Betty that longer masturbation sessions
provide a great benefit on physical(stimulation of the endocrine glands ) and
mental(stimulation of the visual, emotional, sexual arousal and activity areas
of the brain and endorphin production) levels. This will lead to heightened
episodes of sensuality and eroticism enhancing how you experience life and
ultimately how you interact with others. You'll probably be promenading around
with an aura of happiness and confidence, alongside a hefty dose of self-love.
However, I would offer a different perspective with respect to the frequency
and how you masturbate. I advise you to masturbate all you want but to limit
your full-body or peak orgasms to once or twice a week. Why? Your sex glands
are an integral part of a team of hormone-producing glands called the
endocrines. The endocrines manage all our major body functions and for them to
function well on their own they also have to function in balance with the other
endocrines. All the endocrines extract their needed nutrients from the blood to
make their hormones and do their jobs effectively. Our sex glands, while
providing the super-important testosterone and estrogen for healthy bones,
muscles, and brains, can also muck up the endocrine system when they ejaculate
too much. If the sex glands are pumping out too much semen, then the endocrines
are 'stuck with the bill' or a lack of nutrients in the bloodstream so what
results is that the system crashes. Yes, this can lead to erectile
dysfunction(guess why so many older men are buying Viagra, Enzyte, etc.), early
onsets of menopause and osteoporosis, depressed libido or sex drive, as well as
a slew of other health problems. One easy-to-use guide is the ".2
formula": to find out how many days you should wait in between
ejaculations just multiply your age times .2. Since you're nineteen, this would
mean intervals of about 4 days. But, during this interim, wank to your
heart's(or cock's) content but keep the lid on your cannon. Enjoy![/]

Enjoy yourself, but vary your pattern

Please don't believe the nonsense about 'excessive' masturbation causing ED or reduced fertility. There is no truth to this at all. Also, please don't believe the anti-male-orgasm propaganda that claims that ejaculations are somehow harmful to your health. In fact, studies show that men who ejaculate at least daily have a much lower rate of prostate cancer than men who limit their ejaculations. Dr Betty has a good point about commercial porn, however---it's disrespectful and unrealistic. However, there are a lot of hot amateur solo and couple's videos that show real sex, real orgasms, and real mutual enjoyment. You might also find that you can create your own fantasies that are hotter than anything you see on a screen, too.

Dr Betty's suggestion about having longer sessions sometimes is a very good one. There's nothing wrong with having quickie sessions if you're in the mood, but it's also important to learn to take your time and enjoy longer, slower, deeper forms of stimulation. Knowing how to treat yourself to these longer sessions will also help you learn to give more satisfying, less rushed partner sex. So from my point of view, there's no need to give up quick orgasms when you need them, as long as you also practice learning to take your time.

Featherlight Touch is the key

The main problem with over masturbating, is a lot of guys grip, is to hard, when it comes to sex they cant get it off, there so used to a hard grip, real sex fails them.

So in masturbating they need a featherlight touch, this is what its like when we have sex, a women may be able to grip, but it cant be held, the inside of the vagina its smooth, delicate, so masturbating should resemble that.

But over masturbating is a problem, and its getting bigger, I do some work on these guys, the best advice is to take an 8 week break, its the same as porn enduced ED, the break give the body a chance to reboot, and get out of the habit of masurbating, then things should slowly come back, noctural erections and morning woods, if these start coming back, then things are working, then they can get back to masturbating, but just twice a week but with a featherlight touch, till they can find some real sex, and then they should be able to get it off.

Good Luck
