Is materbating at before puberty bad?!
Question: Is materbating at before puberty bad!?
I caught my son doing it, and I was wondering if it was bad for his health!. Any help!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Masturbating is very healthy at any age!. This is from Wikipedia:
"A 1997 study in the British Medical Journal based upon 918 men age 45-59 found that after a ten year follow-up, men who had fewer orgasms were twice as likely to die of any cause as those having two or more orgasms a week!."
Put another way - having at least two orgasms a week halves your chance of dying between the ages of 45 and 59!.
You can see how this makes sense - when you masturbate your heart beats faster, and your breathing speeds up!. Since the heart and lungs are two of the most important organs in the body, any safe activity that exercises them is good for your general health!.
Other studies have found that frequent masturbation reduces the risk of prostate cancer - a doctor who studied the evidence recommended that teenagers masturbate at least six times a week!. It is thought that regular ejaculation clears the prostate gland of chemicals that can cause cancer!.
Jackinworld did a survey of its readers aged 11 to 19 and obtained the following results:
Average Masturbation Frequencies by Age:
11: 11!.1 times per week
12: 9!.4
13: 10!.6
14: 10!.6
15: 9!.9
16: 9!.6
17: 9!.4
18: 8!.5
19: 9!.3
Remember these are averages - some will masturbate more often, some less!.
It is now important that you keep a balance - your son needs to know that masturbation is a private activity, but also that it is normal, healthy and enjoyable!. If you make him feel guilty it could cause a lot of confusion and unhappiness - I speak from experience!
Many parents are ok with discreet masturbation within a family setting e!.g!. hands in pockets while watching TV - obviously masturbating, but discreetly!. As boys grow older and become more self-aware, they quite naturally become more private about anything sexual!.
I find this very helpful - be sure to read it ALL THROUGH, as the beginning is a bit confusing:

Hello,
Great question!. As a physician and a parent, I commend you for coming forward with this private but important problem!. I can tell you, with absolute certainty that this something to be extremely alarmed about, but please do not worry!.
Typically a parent in your situation has two options!. The first is to have a conversation with your son about the ramifications of engaging in prepubescent sexual stimulation (more on this latter)!.
The second option, and regrettably the less attractive of the two, is to place your son on a strict regiment of testosterone in order to produce gonadarche (the first physical manifestations of puberty)!. Unfortunately, due to the sudden increase of androgen in his system, your son might be compelled to self masturbate even more vigorously than at present!.
Obviously it is important to work quickly!. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, if left unchecked, your son's masturbatory practices may have certain irreversible consequences including but not limited to:
adult onset puberty
prepubescent genitals persisting through the the 20s and 30s
prostate cancer
irregular growth of the pubis
prostate cancer
colitis

actually if u dont want ur son doin drugs and such let him its been proven that ejaculating is actually more like a natural high which is why alot of guys do it alot and love it lol!. jus let him b but make sure he doesnt try doing every day none stop then its just makes him reclusive towards girls and not rele comfortable with them either AT ALLWww@Answer-Health@Com
Hell, no!. I did, long before I even knew what it was, let alone how to spell it!. So long as you don't scare him off, and let him know that it's perfectly okay to do (which he's already figured out anyway), then he'll be fine!. You might want to point out to him to keep it private - i!.e!. in his room!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
