|||Masturbation doesn't really impact your health in either a positive or negative way. I guess you could call it exercise, but that might be a stretch. It could have a negative effect if you get an infection after inserting something that you didn't clean well. Masturbating also helps make you more familiar with your body and what you do and don't like.





Sex is a little different. Again, you could call it exercise. But there are so many negative consequences (STDs, pregnancy) that I don't see anyway to call sex good for your health. You could say it is a healthy part of a committed relationship, but that really isn't health related.|||Masturbation is becoming accepted as a healthy practice and safe method for sharing pleasure without some of the dangers that can accompany intercourse. Masturbation also relieves depresstion, stress and leads to a higher sense of self-worth. Masturbation can also be particularly useful in relationships where one partner wants more sex than the other 鈥?in which case masturbation provides a balancing effect and thus a more harmonious relationship|||Pros (Good)


its okay if you do it 2-3 times a week no more


releases stress, prevent prostate cancer and cleans/renew your sperms





Cons (Bad)


if you do more than 2-3 times a week example:once everyday





physical - fatigued(always tired), lower back pain, hair loss, premature ejaculation, permanent pain on penis and testicles





emotional - hormones in your body will release too much acetycholine hormones and such... which makes you feel that masturbating is more arousing and relaxing than sex with real humans.. and everytime you overmasturbate its harder to stop and chemicals keep charging to your brain asking you for MORE PORN AND MASTURBATION





spiritual - some religion despise this, others not so and some dont





(serial killers and criminals are often associated with porn and masturbation)


ted bundy: have sex and puts makeup on the corpses of people whom he killed


jeffrey dahmer: eats his victims whom he killed


john wayne gacy: kills teenage boys and keeps them under his house

CONCLUSION: its okay and healthy to masturbate but like anything else.... never over do it|||Although both activities get your blood pumping faster, increasing your circulation and giving you a *bit* of exercise, the biggest benefit that I see to it is simply stress relief. That's healthy right there.|||It burns calories so yes, its a way to get exercise if you don't like running and other forms on un-pleasurable exercise. It also makes some people happy. It just depends if you like it or not.|||Sex has a few emotional benefits when it is with someone you trust. There is a feeling of closeness and the physical touch can be very good for some people.|||u burn calories during sex as well it re leaves stress, also the pleasure...|||Well lady friend.
