The effects of masturbation (in poll format)

Recently there are two raging threads about the long defunct notion that masturbation causes harm to the body.

can masturbation cause :
hair loss
atrophy
bent necks
bent spine
bad posture
aging
sexually transmitted diseases
???

Just for the sake of demonstration, let us take a poll on this issue to make sure everyone has a little graphical reminder on the top that shows the dominant position on this issue, and to respect precedent.

Of course it's not harmful, in any way. In your list of commonly referred-to myths about it's harmful affects, you forgot blindness. This makes me laugh. Masturbation harmful?! Ha!!

Nope. Many people on this board are living proof of the fact that it doesn not cause adverse effects.

 

hehe you said "poll" =]

 

roflz~~

 

I don't think masturbation causes any sexual diseases. It contributes to the breakdown of the body initiated by any disease the person may have.

 

Who's the idiot that said yes??

Here is an article from the newscientist that indicates that masturbation may well help protect against prostate cancer.

Masturbation instead of being in any way harmful is the safest form of sex possible and should be encouraged.

Health attributes to Masturbation

It relieves stress, tension and menstrual cramps, releases endorphins, fights yeast infections by increasing blood flow to the pelvis, exercises and flushes the prostate gland, strengthens pelvic muscles, is a good cardiovascular workout, burns calories, gives you sexual self confidence which boosts self esteem and allows you to remain sexually active throughout your entire life. Masturbation is a great way for pregnant women and people with physical limitations to enjoy sex. If you’ve never had an orgasm before, many sex therapists prescribe regular masturbation. Usually an hour a day for several weeks is all it takes. And basically your goal is to relax, to free yourself from all your worries and distractions and pay attention to yourself and your own pleasure.

I read that alcohol is good for the heart.

Even children know that too much alcohol makes you an alcoholic and you get liver disease and die.

Too bad scientists don't have the wisdom of children.

 

Just what I said. And while you are freed from all worries and distractions, paying attentin to yourself and your own pleasure, the overlords come in an take over you country, your businessess and your women.

After all. You are so busy playing with yourself, you don't have time for the women right? We can see the effects on your culture of this plot already. All the white women are leaving the white man for the black man. The black man is not stupid enough to buy all this masturbation baloney. He still has what the white woman needs. The white man has squirted it all away because some news article said it was good for his prostate.

Excessive masturbation will make you gay, weak and effiminate. Half of Britians politicans are being revealed as homosexuals.

What does it take to wake you guys up?

And while you are freed from all worries and distractions, paying attentin to yourself and your own pleasure, the overlords come in an take over you country, your businessess and your women.

Overlords? Too funny. Happeh, you watch way too much TV.
