How to treat male masturbation?

I think everyone will encounter some situations during adolescence, and feel that they don’t understand it very well, but there are some questions that they don’t know how to ask. After all, we are still children during adolescence, and we often care about our reputation. Today, I will mainly talk about a problem that boys often encounter during adolescence. Although this question is a bit embarrassing, it is a question that many adolescent boys want to know, that is, what should I do about masturbation?

Masturbation was called "handjob" in the past. Different regions have different slang names, such as "手枪", "把管", "打飞机", "打炮", etc. (mostly used to describe male masturbation, and the latter two are also often used to refer to sexual intercourse.) Because there are many ways to masturbate, and not necessarily with hands. Therefore, some people think that when masturbating, they don't use their hands, so it is not "masturbation", which is a wrong view. "淫" is a derogatory word in Chinese, and it is a normal sexual behavior. So the correct and scientific name should be "自慰".

Masturbation occurs in both men and women of all ages. Some animals also masturbate. Masturbation is a behavior that exists since childhood. It is mostly due to unconsciously playing with the genitals occasionally, wearing tight pants, climbing poles, etc., because the friction stimulates the genitals and causes pleasure, but generally there is no orgasm. Regardless of whether it is a man or a woman, after puberty, due to physiological changes in the body, hormones increase, thus generating sexual impulses and sexual desire. Full of longing, curiosity, and fantasy about sexual issues. Maybe you learned to masturbate from pornographic movies or when talking to others.

Masturbation mostly occurs in adolescents and is quite common. Someone once conducted a survey on this aspect and found that 90% of men over 20 years old have masturbated. In 1986, someone conducted a survey on male students in several universities in Shanghai. Among the 353 students surveyed, 310 had masturbated, accounting for 85.3%. Someone also conducted a survey on 2,200 female students in a university in the United States and found that more than 50% of them masturbated.

Masturbation of adolescent boys and girls is a sexual activity that accompanies normal sexual development. During this period, masturbation can be considered a reasonable way to relieve sexual tension as long as it is moderate and restrained. Sexologists have conducted a large number of comparative studies on people who masturbate and those who do not masturbate and have confirmed that masturbation is not related to mental illnesses such as neurasthenia, manic depression, schizophrenia, personality disorders, mental retardation, and psychosomatic diseases such as gastroduodenal ulcers, bronchial asthma, primary hypertension, and coronary heart disease. Studies have also shown that masturbation is not related to future intelligence, achievement, social adaptability, and sexual function. This shows that masturbation is not as terrible as some people imagine.

Masturbation itself is harmless. It does not cause disease. Many people get sick because they do not pay attention to personal hygiene, but they blame it on masturbation. Therefore, maintaining good personal hygiene is the fundamental way to prevent all diseases. Moderate masturbation is not only harmless, but also has certain benefits. It helps to relieve sexual tension, relax yourself, and relieve psychological pressure.

I have to say that for many things, I was often very ignorant and confused and didn't know how to solve the problem. However, if the problem is really serious, we should actively consult senior people. It may be embarrassing and we may feel embarrassed, but if there is a problem, we must solve it. This is a serious problem, so we must solve it positively.
