Checkout 8 Reasons Why Masturbation Is Dangerous To Your Health

 

Masturbation is one of the most common sexual behaviors among people, both male and female. Many people do it, and no one’s gonna judge you, right? Wrong. Did you know that masturbation is bad for your health? If not, keep reading and find out just how dangerous masturbation can be to your body and mind! Here are five reasons why masturbation can be more harmful than beneficial to your health!

 

It weakens your pelvic floor muscles
The pelvic floor muscles support the uterus, bladder, small intestine and rectum. They also help you have an orgasm. When you’re young and still growing into your body, a lifetime of masturbating can be damaging because it trains your pelvic floor muscles to respond less strongly than they should for sex with a partner.

It reduces testosterone production in males
A study published in a Brazilian urology journal revealed that there’s a correlation between high testosterone levels and higher frequency of masturbation in males. Low levels of testosterone are linked with a number of health risks. In fact, some studies indicate that low testosterone may be an underlying cause for cardiovascular disease in men under 50. On top of all that, high levels of testosterone encourage prostate cancer cells to grow at a faster rate.

It may lead to premature ejaculation
When you masturbate, you’re essentially practicing how long you can last. The more often you do it, and especially if you watch porn while doing it, your sexual reflexes get desensitized. For example, when a partner licks or rubs your penis in a specific way—one that isn’t necessarily that pleasurable for either of you—your body learns not to react as strongly (or at all) because there’s no payoff of orgasm. If she then does something that actually feels good down there, it takes longer for your body to wake up and recognize what feels good. The result? More fumbling in bed—even though both of you are ready for sex!

It causes shrinkage of the testicles
– There is a common misconception that masturbation increases sperm count. But according to recent studies, it has been proven that over-masturbation can shrink a man’s testicles. This can lead to infertility and other serious sexual problems. They say that a healthy sex life starts with a healthy lifestyle. Masturbating too much or too often can affect your ability to become pregnant by your partner in the future and even cause impotence in men.

Decreases sexual appetite
According to research done by a team of sexologists, masturbation can be addictive and interfere with your desire for real sex. This can lead to sexual dysfunction, erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation. Studies have also shown that more men suffering from impotence masturbate than those who don’t. At least five percent of young adult males in America are unable to get an erection when having sex with a partner. In Germany, that figure stands at almost 15 percent and in Italy, 14 percent.

Increase chances of getting erectile dysfunction in older men
It’s well-known that chronic masturbation increases testosterone levels in younger men, but did you know that too much masturbation can actually have an adverse effect on your health? And as if that weren’t enough of a reason for some guys to abstain from masturbation, there are others. Read on for 7 reasons why it might be best if you just leave your hand alone.

Could lead to sexual addiction
There are a lot of people out there that think masturbation doesn’t pose any threat to your health. If it feels good, they say, then do it! That may be true if you only masturbate occasionally. But if you start doing it frequently, there’s a chance that it could lead to compulsive behavior and sexual addiction. For instance, a recent study found evidence of hyperactivity in parts of participants’ brains after they watched pornography.
