Is Masturbation Healthy for You?

A virgin telling others about sexual conduct is like a man complaining about menstrual cramps.....

or to put it more simply

It is like a vegetarian teaching steak cooking classes

And all of them would be ad hominems. :)

There do seem to be some benefits to masturbation. I often use it as a stress-reliever and sleep aid. I mean seriously, my libido can be through the roof and being able to relieve that by myself is a requirement for me to function.

No..it doesnt need to be linked with other social problems at all.Its a matter of waiting untill you are mature enough to be committed to be married for 5 or 6 decades to the same person. And the difference between an 18 year old and a 25 year old is a lot more in most cases than 5 or 7 years..

Of course Im one of those that doesnt think someone should have to live in misery for life for making a life long decision that they cant or dont want to honor that they made at 18 or 20 years old.

One needs to look at the full picture...

If you encourage people to get married at a late stage...you have to think about their sexual life during the years before that late stage...

And their life during this initial period...has the effects on their future marriage life...

Im sorry..but 25 is not a "late stage" when you live to be 75.

And everything we do in our life at early ages has an affect on things in the future.Not just sexual activity.And marriage.

I am lokking at the "full picture".

Indeed, allowing yourself the time to grow-up, mature, and learn how be a good partner can have tremendous effects on your future marriage life.

I hardly see what the subject of marriage has to do with masturbation.
or vice-versa.

...and by "hardly", I mean nothing at all...
unless of course you enjoy masturbating together. :flirt:

I guess it could have something to do with it.But I dont think it has anything to do with at what age you marry.Or whether or not you ever get married at all.

Shia Islam made the statement that masturbation was"wrong" and instead one should marry at an early age in order to allay sexual tensions because early marraige was better for society in general.

I was merely pointing out that every study I`ve ever seen on the topic of marriage and the sexuality of youth shows that shia islams belief is wrong.

Which more or less backs up what I said.

Why make decisions about masturbation as if it has anything to do with marriage?

The two things have nothing at all to do with each other.
I'm married. :shrug:
Masturbation is my own special time with MYSELF.
It is important to me... and important for me.
Being healthy and satisfied in and of mySelf must come first,
if I am to be healthy and satisfied with anyone else.
I am someone who needs alone time like I need air, and water and rest.
I need to get to know mySelf and experience mySelf deeply everyday,
spiritually, physically, emotionally, mentally, imaginatively, creatively...
or I lose my centeredness and my balance.

what happens when the Green day song is "your life" though...

Sit around and watch theTube but, nothing's on
Change the channels for
An hour or two
Twiddle my thumbs just for
A bit
I'm sick of all the same
Old ****
In a house with unlocked
Doors
And I'm ******* lazy

Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored I'm
Going blind!!!

An I smell like ****

Peel me off this Velcro seat
And get me moving
I sure as hell can't do
It by myself
I'm feeling like a
Dog in heat
Barred indoors from the
Summer street
I locked the door to
My own cell
And I lost the key

I got no motivation
Where is my motivation
No time for motivation
Smoking my inspiration

Sit around and watch the
Phone, but no one's calling
Call me pathetic, call me
What you will
My mother says to get a job
But she don't like the
One she's got
When masturbation's lost Its fun
You're ******* breaking

Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored
I'm going blind
And loneliness has to suffice
Bite my lip and close my eyes
Slipping away to paradise
Some say "Quit or I'll Go blind"
But it's just a myth

Like I said, I was just pointing out the problems in Shias perspective.

I don`t think the two are relevant in reality but became relevant to the path this thread was taking when marriage was brought into it.

Some people actually like to have sex..

MAYBE we should maturbate a LOT more.Instead of having sex.

I certainly dont think though we should get married to avoid masturbating.Which maybe Im crazy but was implied.
