Dear /fit/,

I haven't masturbated in months. I used to think I had a real problem with it, doing it every day and sometimes twice if the mood struck me again. It just started feeling like a waste of time. Also, I heard from a very sketchy source that it was draining my sex drive, that my body was being tricked into thinking I was some superstud procreating all the time, and it wasn't bothering to release chemicals to make me more inclined to have sex, find a mate, be motivated, etc.

So I stopped, and I've been sort of tempted to as of late - what's the truth about masturbation? Is it actually harmful to never do it?

Fucking idiot. Masturbation does nothing to you harmful.

It decreases the risk of prostate cancer. releases stress. and it fucking feels good.

I hate people who think beating off is bad.

Wrong. Fucking idiot. Theres absolutely NO negatives for masturbation. Unless you do it so much your dick is raw, and you keep going until you bleed.

WTF. There are no studies cited and at the end if pitches in a snake-oil product. Proper research or GTFO.

You don't "cite any studies," either, so I guess we should discard whatever it is you're saying, too, right?

Why dont you go back to that site and buy whatever product they are offering. I'm sure they will produce the very results they promise. And go suck a dick while you at it. I heard it reduces all the bad effects masturbation causes.

Anyone who believes over masturbation is bad is an idiot. A fucking dumb cock sucker. Believed your friends that told you they didn't fap often because they get pussy and fapping too much is bad?

And believing a site trying to sell bullshit powders is WORSE.

I just want something to make me stop wasting so much time fapping everyday

Then don't masturbate every day. Do it every other day. Or 2 or 3 times a week.

There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with masturbation. Just like EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE WORLD, too much of anything is bad.

Moderate your masturbation. But still enjoy it. There are benefits.

I don't understand why you went from being worried about masturbating too much to not masturbating at all. Seems like kind of an extreme jump. Why didn't you just say "I'm going to masturbate less"??

Crazy fundamentalist fuck is craaazyyyyyy.

I would most likely lose my fucking mind if I went more than couple days without a fap.

Okay, anecdotal support for the no-masturbation crowd:

I've personally surveyed my own levels of energy and motivation in relation to the frequency with which I'm masturbating, how long since I've last masturbated, etc. Done it for many years because I always had a sneaking suspicion there was something to be said about it, and this is without any anti-fapping propaganda being pushed on me. I can honestly say that I'm much less motivated and energy-drained for about 18-24 hours after an orgasm, and this is something very regular that I can depend on to happen every time I go at it. It seems common-sensical; if the entirety of human motivation is essentially to get you to bang a chick, then every orgasm is really a signal to your body that the race is finally over and with any luck you've made a baby, so there's no particular reason to need to go anywhere or do anything anymore, at least not until you've made more sperm for another go at it. And I've seen my own observations validated by other informal surveys taken at places as diverse as lucid dreaming and bodybuilding forums, where people who volunteer to stop fapping almost always say they find themselves with more energy, alertness, motivation, etc the longer they spare the rod.

Every time this question comes up there's a bunch of vitriol thrown to the effect of "lol dumbass of course masturbation is good for you" but I think that kind of response is really just leftover backlash from dealing with puritans who wanted to say masturbation was in some objective sense bad, or evil, or sinful, or irresponsible, or a sign of weakness. It's none of those things, but at the same time I find many many benefits to abstaining from ejaculation. This doesn't even mean that I don't masturbate, but that when I do I just mess around for a while and then stop before orgasm.

As in, I take my hands off my dick before I spew, zip up, and get on with my life. Besides, if you know how to handle your cock right you can get considerably more pleasure from the right kind of stimulations than you ever can from an orgasm. Google "rosy palm" and experiment from there, also look up edging for other ways to enjoy yourself without blowing your load. Also, it's immensely difficult and I haven't done it yet, but with the right kind of stimulation you can have an orgasm without an ejaculation; they're not the same thing, and that kind of orgasm keeps your libido up because you're not delivering any payloads, so to speak. Honestly I can say I don't even like traditional orgasms that much, because compared to the sensations that precede them they feel sort of "dirty", not even pleasurable so much as a full-body heroin rush numbness that seems like the opposite of what sex(ual activity) is supposed to be about.

Awesome, you're going by personal experience to determine the effects of masturbation upon the entire human species along with some pseudosciency evolutionary speculation.

I'm pretty sure that's actually really damn bad for your prostate. You're essentially working your prostate and seminal glands and then telling them to go fuck themselves and store all that fluid they produced.

Enjoy not being able to pee.

You are a complete moron for trying to deduce the function and consequences of a biological process without any sort of additional information. The same ignorant reasoning is what caused people to create religion, they saw things like lightning and decided that the only logical explanation was that a powerful being was creating it. The difference is that information is available now, and you are a fucktard for completely ignoring it. Ejaculation expels old sperm cells so your body can generate new ones, and works the whole system, including the prostate, so it stays healthy and functioning.

Holy shit, shut the fuck up. Some of you are borderline retarded.

The only downside to excessive masturbation is a strain on the epididymis, or if you're beating off with unwashed hands you can get bacteria into the urethra, which can radiate into the epididymis resulting in epididymitis. I had a bad case of that once, and having an achy nut isn't fun.

It would be nice if you at least referenced who you wanted to 'shut the fuck up.'

You're kind of retarded yourself.

Then go ahead and masturbate and don't worry about it. I was expressing my personal experience, relaying the anecdotal evidence others have had about the same subject, and supplied some admittedly very silly speculation to justify, again, my own experiences and why they might be as they are.

I never said it wasn't healthy. I never said you shouldn't do it. I only said that it helps my motivation and my energy levels not to beat off daily, and that maybe if you tried it you'd find the same thing. Or maybe you wouldn't, who knows, but the fun is in the experimentation.

Masturbating once or twice a day is fine.
