Faq's on Mastarbation.

1. Can mastarbation be harmful to health?
Answer: Masturbation is not bad for you physically, sexually or emotionally -- unless it is something you simply do not WANT to be doing -- and can be, in fact, good for you. It has been almost twenty years since the American Medical Association declared masturbation a normal and healthy sexual activity, and even then, it was long overdue.
Masturbation will not, and cannot make you go blind or give you poor eyesight. I cannot find the original source of this blatant untruth, but we can probably assume that it was based in the correlation between puberty and the general age at which those with poor eyesight find out they need glasses. Masturbation will not, and cannot give you acne any more than any OTHER activity or phase of your life in which you have hormonal fluctuations might give you acne. In fact, almost any sexual activity improves your circulation by raising your heart rate, which is good for your skin and the rest of your body. Masturbation will not, and cannot make the genitals shrink or grow, and a doctor cannot tell if someone has masturbated unless they arrive at the office with ejaculate on one hand and a vibrator in the other. Masturbation will not, and cannot make hair grow on your palms. On the Planet of the Apes, it just might, but not here on Earth. Masturbation will not, and cannot make men or women infertile, or decrease sperm or egg count. It also does not make anyone "lose" their virginity, not "spoil" them for intercourse or other sexual acts. People are not cartons of milk. We cannot spoil or be "ruined." We change and grow, and as long as we act like good people in good conscience, no act or person can make us otherwise. Plenty of scholars and religious leaders agree, Judeo-Christian and otherwise, that masturbation is not a sin, for those whose religions include the concept of sin (and many do not). There is really nothing concrete in the Bible to support this idea; it does not say masturbation is a sin in anything but a very vague sense that is highly open to interpretation. In addition, in very few religions and traditions is it considered any sort of problem at all. There are, of course, exceptions. In some Islamic traditions, if fasting, masturbating will break a fast, and in some other cultures, like Indonesia, it is considered criminal. Bear in mind, though, that some of these beliefs are very archaic, and are not based on current scientific and medical knowledge, but became tradition when this practice (and many others) were not understood.

2.Who Masturbates?
Answer: Most people will recognize that a lot of men masturbate, but many do not acknowledge that just as many women do. However, that is yet another misconception. According to Susan Quilliam in her study, Women on Sex, 29.1 of women do so at least once weekly, only 1.8% masturbate without clitoral stimulation and 95% ALWAYS orgasm when masturbate (and in comparison, 77.3 can orgasm from oral sex, and 79.2 during intercourse, but cannot always). In her study, 95% of women she surveyed masturbated. For those of you who have asked me how to have an orgasm and have wondered why I said, "Masturbate!" now you know why. It's how most women and men learn how, and it's the best way to do so.

3.Only losers masturbate . . . right?
Answer: Another false assumption is that people who masturbate do so because they are sexually desperate, or are just plain losers. However, bear in mind that in general, a sexually satisfied person -- and most people who are happily masturbating are -- is not a loser. In fact, many people who masturbate regularly are often better sex partners when they are having sex with others, and do not shack up with the first person available because they are dying to get sexually satisfied and just don't know how to do it themselves. There is nothing superior about sleeping with someone you wouldn't otherwise sleep with because you feel masturbating is beneath you. The guy who shows up for five minutes just to sleep with you then leaves without a good-bye, or the girl you get in bed with who you'd never date publicly is hardly the mark of a "superior" choice. And to be frank, masturbation, as a practice when what you want is ONLY sexual satisfaction, is probably a better and kinder choice than sexual partnership.
3.How do I masturbate?We get asked this A LOT. But the truth is, like just about anything in sex, people do what they do not based on any one formula or method, but based on their mood, their means, and their on individual psychological, emotional and physiological makeup. So, while for one man, rubbing his penis briskly in his lotion-covered palms may get him off, another may instead enjoy a long soak in the tub followed by a slow and gentle massage. The same goes with women. Some women like vibrators, but others prefer their own hands or water. We all have different emotional and psychological needs, and those can change by the moment. Someone who one day is aroused by the fantasy of a romantic and gentle lover may the next day fantasize about being brutally raped, and both of these things are okay as fantasies. They're your fantasies, not your actions, and to think is NOT to do. The same goes with physical needs. While we all may have genitals that are called the same thing and look similar, our levels and areas of sensitivity can vary as much as snowflakes do. So, neither I, nor anyone else, can tell you how to masturbate, because only you can experience what touch feels like in your body.

4.I was curious about how normal it is for girls to masturbate, and how many do?
Answer: It is absolutely normal for both genders to masturbate. We've all done it on one level or another even as babies and children, though we may not remember. In general, most boys seem to start masturbating regularly earlier than most girls, but on the whole, about 98% of men have or do masturbate, and about 95% of women have masturbated or currently do.

5.I recently tried masturbating, and inserting the fingers in my vagina wasn't comfortable at all, so then I tried something else, I put my hand between legs and pulled my hand upwards while my legs were wrapped tight. Is this a form of masturbation?
Answer: ANYTHING that you do with your genitals yourself for the purpose of sexual pleasure is considered masturbation. Most women, according to studies and general information, don't masturbate regularly with vaginal insertion, but instead by manipulating the clitoris and surrounding areas of the vulva. Like most sex, there aren't rules that govern masturbation: whatever feels best to you is what you should do.

6.If you masturbate close to the time your period is suppose to come, can your period be late?
Answer: Not really. In fact, because orgasm brings on contractions in your pelvic area, it's more common that it might bring on your period if it's about that time. If you masturbated and your period is late, it's a coincidence.


7. I am a Virgin and I want to know how to explore my self properly. I want to know how to masterbate. When I watch movies, they makes me sooo Horny I wanna know what it feels like I know nothing about sex or my clitoris. When my friends talk about it, and ask me how do I like it? I end up lying. They use words that I never heard before and I don't even know what they mean?
Answer: Learning to masturbate is just like learning to do anything else with your body. No one else can tell you how to walk or how to run, you just have to pick up your feet and give it a go.
Check out our map of your anatomy and get to know your body a bit. Then explore! Use your hands and fingers, or as many women do at first, running water or a shower head, to touch different parts of your vulva and find out what you like best.

8.How do You masturbate?
Answer: Men usually masturbate by grasping the penis and moving their hand up and down rapidly until they ejaculate (come/cum). Women rub their clitoris and vulva and may move one or several fingers up and down inside their vagina until they orgasm. Everybody has their own way of masturbating that feels good for them.

9.I know guys masturbate, but what about girls? Can it hurt you?
Answer: It's absolutely true that many girls masturbate. Whether you're a girl or a guy, masturbation is natural and normal. In fact, most people do it. Surveys show that 80 percent of males and 59 percent of females have masturbated by age 18. That means, it's normal if you do, and it's normal if you don't.Will it hurt you? Not if you believe in science. No credible studies have shown that masturbation can cause you any physical harm. It definitely does not stunt your growth, cause hair to sprout on your hands, deform your genitalia, or any of those other outrageous myths you might have heard. Even your doctor won't be able to tell if you've ever masturbated! So, stop worrying.In your early teen years, your body changes. Hormones make you feel tension in your vulva and vagina. This tension builds and you can feel really uncomfortable until you find a way to release it. Masturbation is one way to do that.Masturbation is also a good way to get used to your body and your sexual feelings without the complications that can come when you have sex or do sexual things with someone else.When girls masturbate, they sometimes put objects (for example, a dildo) in their vagina, or put something that vibrates on their clitoris. If you want to masturbate like that, just be sure that this object is very clean and smooth. You can wash it with antibacterial soap and warm water, or use a new condom each time.You have to be careful if you like to put objects in your anus too. If you do, make sure that the object has a wide, flared base that prevents it from slipping into your anus. You will most likely need medical assistance to remove an object if it slips past your sphincter muscle that rings your anal opening. It is also best to use a new condom on this object each time you use it, to keep it completely free of bacteria.Some girls also like to use water to masturbate. If you want to masturbate like that, be sure to put the water only on your vulva (the external part of your genitals) and not inside your vagina (the internal part of your genitals). Pressing water into your vagina can force air inside you, which isn't good for your vaginal health.

11.Will masturbating a lot make a guy’s sperm less potent?
Answer: No. The male body makes new sperm all the time, so masturbating often does not mean he’ll be all out of sperm and unable to start a pregnancy. That means that masturbation is definitely NOT a form of birth control.But, if a guy ejaculates more than once a day, the amount of semen might be less, so there’s fewer sperm swimming around. It can take a few days of not ejaculating to get a full supply of sperm. (But remember, it only takes one sperm and one egg hooking up to start a pregnancy).

12. Does masturbating every day decrease fertility or cause any other health problems?
Answer: Masturbation is generally not physically harmful. Frequent masturbation does not reduce your sperm count nor does it affect your ability to achieve an erection. Younger men may be able to get an erection and ejaculate every day. But as men get older, their ability to achieve daily erections may decline. This is a factor of age and has nothing to do with the frequency of masturbation. Also, there is no evidence that masturbation frequency affects a man's ability to produce sperm.
