Is masturbating dangerous? I heard from my friends that it can make you lose you!


Question: I'm just really nervous because I do this 7 or 8 times a day. I also heard that it can give you something called carpel syndrome or something like that. I heard that the little shudder that you get when you're done is really your body telling you that it's not good for you. Someone please help! Can I continue with this hobby or should I back off a little bit?

jesus christ
that would kill most people

You'll also grow hair in the palms of your hands . . .

pull out your %^&* and %#@$% for mama.

Unless it is interfering with your everyday activities, you are fine.

you can also get hairy palms and calases

No, it's an old myth that you can loose your eyesight.

But 7-8 times a day... is a bit excessive. 1-2 times a day should be more then enough to fulfill your sexual appetite. Perhaps you should consider backing down a bit and not completely deplete your body of it's sexual resources.

Ricky~ All the tales you are being told is just that, tales! You won't go blind, you don't get hairy palms, etc. As long as masturbation doesn't consume your daily routine or get in the way of school or friends then you are a normal teenage boy. You won't have anything happen to you. It's old wives tales.

7 or 8 times a day??!! Did you try applying to the masturbating section in the guinness book of records? You won't lose your eyesight but you're gonna fracture your dick

People have been saying it would make you go blind for ever. There would be a lot of blind people running around if that was true. Masturbating is not harmful. As long as it is not interferring with the rest of your life, don't worry.

If it's causing you to be physically sore, then cut back or find a better method. Otherwise, unless it's causing you to neglect other things in your life, don't worry about it. Even makes it that you dont get cancer.

Not at all! It's healthy and good and normal, and 100% of human beings do it at some point, at least, and most people do it regularly. It's something you do in private obviously, but you should never ever feel guilty about it.


I'm not a scientist but what I know is that masturbating may cause you an addiction and make u so addicted to it that you won't think of having an intersexual relationship, what you will always think of is personal satisfaction. As the outcome you won't get your own family.

If you are a Christian or Muslim, I'm sure that masturbating is against God's will.

It's better to have a lover instead of masturbating.

i think that you can masturbate if you want but if you got a girl/boy friend, have sex instead

Have you grown hair on your palm yet? If not, your good to go!

Then again 7 or 8 times a day!!!!!!! a bit much don't you think?

If it is true ,then every man on this Earth will blind,of course you wouldn't. It depends on your mood .Maybe three times a week or maybe everyday although it doesnt make u go blind it still has some pros and cons. however the cons are curable so masturbate away.

It won't make you go blind, but it can sting a bit if it gets in your eye.

It is too much, better reduce !

In case what you heared is correct, the world might have full of blind/half blind men arround !

cut back. i don't think you could loose your eyesight but that cant be good for you doing it 7 or 8 times a day

7-8 times is really obsesive.if u make that much a habbit
it could ruin ur grades,job,relationships
jack off about 2 times a day

Dude if you consider this one of your hobbies that's a problem, I think the eye sight thing is just a story to get boys to stop doing it. 8 times a day, when do you leave the house? Dude slow down, go out find a freak that wants it all the time and give it to her 8 times a day, you'll be so tired you will sleep for two days strait. GET A LIFE, STOP JACKIN' IT!

You wont go blind, but you might hurt your wrist. This has gone beyone hobby and moved into obsession. You need to get yourself in check.

If everyone does it, there should be a whole lot more blind people :)~

your friends are wrong,
masturbating will not make you blind, if it did all the men in the world would need seeing eye dogs
at 7-8 time a day your penis might get sore my most was 3-4
carpel tunnel comes form repeated motion like in typing not stroking
masturbation is a normal and healthy activity that boys and girls enjoy
stroke away and have fun

well, slow down. But hey, you can always wear glasses or contacts in the future.

7 or 8 times a day every day is a bit much, since it means you're not getting the real exercise and fresh air you need, or the socializing time with your friends. That much masturbating can also be a sign of depression.

There are no bad effects just from masturbating, though, so no you won't go blind or shrink or grow hair on your palms or any of the other myths. It's no different than intercourse, just safer and more convenient. I don't know about the carpel tunnel syndrome. I suppose that depends on your technique.

You probably just aren't getting enough out of the experience. You should have a partner, at least sometimes. All forms of sex are meant to be shared. If you have someone to do it with, and take your time doing it, you probably won't need to masturbate as often.
