Is masturbation harmful?

Masturbation is the common name for men. In the absence of a sexual partner, masturbation can effectively relieve sexual needs. However, many people have misunderstandings about masturbation. The main reason is that many people experience physical discomfort after masturbation. If this continues for a long time, people are worried that this behavior will harm our health. So, is masturbation harmful? Let's take a look at the impact of masturbation on our health.

Occasional masturbation is a safe and effective way to release sexual tension, but some harmful masturbation methods often lead to serious consequences. Some men adopt various wrong methods when they start masturbating, such as pressing the penis downward and backward and clamping it between the legs. Due to long-term self-stimulation in this way, they cannot ejaculate during sexual intercourse after marriage. This may cause male infertility.

Wrong way to masturbate

Some men adopt various wrong methods when they start masturbating, such as pressing the penis downward and backward and clamping it between the legs, relying on this squeezing to get a certain pleasure, without friction, and not pursuing ejaculation orgasm. As a result of long-term self-stimulation in this way, the sperm is suppressed, resulting in the inability to ejaculate after marriage. This may cause male infertility.

Sexual asphyxiation

It is a perverted form of masturbation. Self-stimulation is often accompanied by various methods to cause brain hypoxia, so as to achieve orgasm in a semi-asphyxiated state, thereby increasing the degree of sexual pleasure. Improper use may cause the risk of death by suffocation.

Masturbation with foreign objects

Some teenagers like to insert pen shafts, straw, hairpins, plastic threads and other objects into the urethra in the hope of obtaining pleasure, which may lead to urinary foreign bodies intentionally or unintentionally, especially in males. When foreign bodies cause urethral or bladder neck obstruction, it may cause dysuria or urine retention, accompanied by urinary tract infection, and finally form urinary tract stones.

What should men pay attention to when masturbating

1. Don’t feel guilty about masturbating, and at the same time, be moderate so as not to feel tired.

2. Do not use equipment indiscriminately and ensure hygiene.

3. Avoid wearing tight clothes, go to bed on time, do not overeat for dinner, do not use too warm or heavy bedding when sleeping, do not sleep on your back or stomach, and avoid irritating foods for dinner (such as cigarettes, alcohol, coffee, spicy food, etc.).

4. Develop good hygiene habits, wash and keep the vulva clean frequently to remove the adverse stimulation caused by dirt accumulated in the foreskin.

5. For those with reproductive system inflammation, such as phimosis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can eliminate the patient's local discomfort and help reduce the urge to masturbate caused by adverse stimulation.
