I’m not married anymore, so masturbation (in my opinion) is a physical necessity. I treat it the same as brushing my teeth and other bodily necessities.
When I was 10 or 11, I was camping in a camper with my Dad and older Brother. I was in my own bunk bed - going to town on my new found mission and my Dad yelled across the dark camper - "What are you doing over there?!?! I wasn't embarrassed, I was just a kid, I didn't think it was wrong, I just knew it felt good. But I stopped and only did it when I was alone after that. I'm sure he knew what I was doing. Maybe knew. HOWEVER - it was NEVER mentioned again. Thank GOD!
@@infledermaus If they did, I'm guessing they just turned away quickly and got out of the room. When I was an adult I asked them - Why didn't you ever tell me about the facts of life? They told me "We always figured you knew more than us."
Far as I'm concerned, masturbation is a beautiful gift from God---the power of sexuality is one of the greatest things he gave us. It's not something to shun or be ashamed of.
@@davidl570btw. Why are there teachings about why jerking off is bad. And semen retention is the healthy way to go? Theres spiritual teachings about it. I mean not gonna lie. Being on semen retention for months actually made me feel good and healthy/strong compared to if your releasing often. You can feel the difference.
Life is short Do not waste your time masturbating Learn, for example, how to control yourself. Does your self control you or not? Try to be better before you die
It's my earliest childhood memory. Younger brother and I shared a bed. Every night he told me to stop shaking the bed. Now, at 80+. with an uninterested spouse, I'm still going strong.
I'm 75 and I've slowed down recently. I do it only once a day now. There was the time I needed it more. Thank God, that's not the case now. I just don't have the energy as I've lost 90 percent of my lungs. But the one time per day is plenty.
I am single and I do it 2-3 times a week and to be honest it helps me a lot. Otherwise, I cannot sleep, something does not allow me to sleep until I let it out. It must go out, then i can sleep well.
The last item was the most important, I think. Masturbation might lower the risc of prostate cancer. It is so important that I think it should initiate big research efforts, since since there are so many deaths from it.
Re: Myth # 5 - In my late 20’s I was diagnosed with OCD. I was also sent to a therapist who was very sex negative. As someone who identified male at the time and was, well, in my late 20’s, I easily masturbated 5x a week. Not long sessions, just 7-15 minutes, then get on with my day. But my therapist insisted doing it more than monthly was a sign of sex addiction especially in someone with OCD and insisted I go to 12 step program for that. It really messed me up around sex and intimacy for a long time. There are some really sick therapists out there.
As Dryden said of corrupt priests, "The corruption of the best is the worst". I agree that there are more bad therapists than good ones; however, a good one is worth his/her weight in gold! x
I started tugging when I was 12 years old and had my first erection. Here it is 35 years later and I'm enjoying it more than ever. Looking at p*** helps too get to the finish line a little quicker.
@@rk7750 @nze69 don't listen to him. it is not normal to do 3x a day, this is what the people in power want, it will decrease testosterone and make you feel horrible. give it a 2 week retention, promise it will be worth it.
As long as there is no pain. You'll know when there is dull throbbing from within & sometimes even blood mixed with semen but none when you pee. If this happens should try stopping for a few days, then maybe try once or twice a week. Visit a doctor if there is still blood past a week or 2.
Good professional advice, I always remember Woody Allens one liner in one of his movies when asked about this topic - 'At least I am doing it with someone I love'
I wish I had known that it could prevent prostate cancer as I would’ve done it much more frequently. Bottom line, I got it, had radiation and my orgasms were destroyed. Makes me feel like my manhood was taken from me. But I guess I shouldn’t complain as I am alive.
I had radiation for prostate cancer but it didn’t stop my orgasms. It just stopped ejaculation. Still enjoying orgasms 2 to 3 times per week 12 years after treatment but without the mess.
Thank you so much for all that information. Society spreads those false myths and sometimes could hurt relations, self~steem and promote controversial beliefs
Yep, (for those who believe in God like me), I think it's one of the best gifts he gave us! He knew what he was doing when he created the male body and gave us the gift of sexuality and orgasm. The penis and scrotum are beautiful works of art and shouldn't be shunned or considered gross or cringy, far as I'm concerned.

I generally do something about 3 or 4 times weekly.
I would never limit my little friend. He's the one who through tough times kept me going and relatively happy whenever I had a dry spell. He knows when its needed and I happily oblige. He makes me feel happy and my friend likes the way I play with him. And so does my other little friend back there. Her warmth, depth and sensitivity are without equal. They often get together and deliver some of the highest sexual thrills of my lifetime. Why would I deny myself pleasure of that magnitude ?
I totally agree but I’d add the aspect of p*rn. Cuz I don’t think the way the act is illustrated is healthy and that it can interfere with real life experiences and even Lower your self esteem
While it is not dangerous on a physical level, masturbation is still best enjoyed responsibly keeping the natural side effects in mind - for example, for me it causes a phase of relaxation and sleepiness afterwards, so it can be detrimental when I need to be alert and active afterwards. There is also an element of mental hygene - e.g. the images and imaginations one nutures during masturbation can freely drift in all kinds of directions when they are discoupled from a partner like that, this can ultimately lead to a kind of social dysfunction if not minded out and kept in check. But you can also actively shape your life using masturbation fantasies as a technique. You should try it sometime.
I'm a psychologist /college counsellor who has dealt with a couple of thousand yougsters with their normal problems. I think your reservations are by no means universally true.
If u don't do it.. the body Will make u come automatically when u sleep when it come to the Times when ur bucket is soo Full.. but u have the option.. do it 1 time a week and u get happiness or make the body system do it.. u know what i mean right
Logical practical information. Masturbation has been an avid hobby of mine since I was about 9 or 10. I turned out alright. Thanks for the affirmation,, doctor. :-)
I'm in the same boat. Get your blood sugar under control, lose some weight and get your testosterone level checked. I use the gel and it's working. I also inject trimex into my penis. Diabetes sucks!
A long time ago, I was 35 years old (now I am 60 years old), a psychologist (a young LADY!) ask me if I masturbate myself. Because I find such question very private and personal at that time/moment and also because that psychologist was a young LADY, I ask HER back: "Why do you want THAT to know about me? THAT is private and very personal!".... Then SHE answered: "I understand your privacy about THIS. But when you NOT masturbate yourself, then maybe something is wrong with you and you may NOT being healthy". So THAT was/is a very good and a positive way of HER/a psychologist, I find, to talk about masturbation with me! And therefore I also understand better why such psychologists do ask such question at/to their clients!
Thank you, Doctor, for an excellent, intelligent and informative video on masturbation. I thoroughly agree with you that masturbation is a healthy act for young boys and men, and women. I wished that you would have made some comments on the myth that masturbation causes acne. Thank you again for your excellent video on masturbation. I hope that a lot of young people...and their parents!...view it.
Twice a day seems perfect. I have been on the road for 10 years, so it's something i do often. 43 and never no issues. Both morning and night, i have good loads. Morning being more volume and power. Nights are good, but nothing like mornings. Dont plan on changing habit 😊
sounds about right to me. especially when you eat a lot of celery and pineapple and drink lots of water they'll be even better . . . Oh . . . and no smoking
I think a lot of not being able to get hard and stay that way has to do with being with someone you’re not that into. I have a feeling most people are with someone who they aren’t that into
Thank you so much for the frank discussion. I am amazed at the ignorance of people with respect to this issue. Also a pox on religious institutions that demonize masturbation and things. like homosexuality . I am a 71 y/o man in a 45 year homosexual relationship/marriage (my first and only) who still enjoys masturbating (albeit not as often as I did when I was younger). Thanks again
I've also heard that there is evidence that frequent ejaculation reduces the risk of prostate cancer. The idea is that it prevents potentially cancer-causing agents to accumulate.
Responsibility doesn't always come into it - we are each different, with variance in gene expression and PFC control. Some men are sexual beasts with low impulse control.
A lot of people may use it to ease off, but if someone can hold down not to masturbate, the person develops self-control towards sexual urges, which requires a lot of discipline to do
nope never again. it really just gives me more stress , for me its not healthy ill distract myself with my other hobbies to avoid it everyday, this will be my reminder everyday to have a clear and better mind and avoid lust
Masturbation can only be considered harmful if it interferes with daily life or relationships. Some signs that masturbation may be a problem include: Missing work or important events, Neglecting family or partners, Escaping from responsibilities, and Having trouble reaching orgasm
You have summed this up very well! It is all about individual choice, whether we masturbate or not, & how often, it should be seen as an enjoyable experience, not a chore or something we regret or feel guilty about or that interferes with our daily routine!
Great video Doctor! I have a question about using Tamsulosin - after stopping using it I experience retrograde issues - will it ever get back to normal?
Thanks for asking Doctor. Nothing has changed in my condition. I have just had to learn to live with it. I had hoped it would work itself out and return to normal function.
I’m not the doctor. Just a guy who went through the same thing you described. I stopped taking Tamsulosin after about a year. And it’s taken another year to get back to normal. I take pumpkin seed supplements to help prostate health.
Yay! Thanks for sharing this topic on masturbation! 👍👍✌✌😸😸😛😛With me, I look at the positive side of masturbation is always HEALTHY as long as it doesn't get in the way of my life like you mentioned. Kudos to you, Dr. Eric! 😛😛😸😸👍👍✌✌🌈🌈

What about if you do it so much that your brain starts to hurt more like your head not your brain but what if it hurts and moves like you pp when blood goes through it is it safe am i ok is this supposed to happen it hurts a lot

If brushing and flossing were as pleasurable as masturbation, no one would ever get a cavity 😊

No one has ever been told their addicted to brushing their teeth.
Nor have they been told they brush too much.

I would never limit my little friend. He's the one who through tough times kept me going and relatively happy whenever I had a dry spell. He knows when its needed and I happily oblige. He makes me feel happy and my friend likes the way I play with him. And so does my other little friend back there. Her warmth, depth and sensitivity are without equal. They often get together and deliver some of the highest sexual thrills of my lifetime. Why would I deny myself pleasure of that magnitude ?
I totally agree but I’d add the aspect of p*rn. Cuz I don’t think the way the act is illustrated is healthy and that it can interfere with real life experiences and even Lower your self esteem
While it is not dangerous on a physical level, masturbation is still best enjoyed responsibly keeping the natural side effects in mind - for example, for me it causes a phase of relaxation and sleepiness afterwards, so it can be detrimental when I need to be alert and active afterwards. There is also an element of mental hygene - e.g. the images and imaginations one nutures during masturbation can freely drift in all kinds of directions when they are discoupled from a partner like that, this can ultimately lead to a kind of social dysfunction if not minded out and kept in check. But you can also actively shape your life using masturbation fantasies as a technique. You should try it sometime.
I'm a psychologist /college counsellor who has dealt with a couple of thousand yougsters with their normal problems. I think your reservations are by no means universally true.
If u don't do it.. the body Will make u come automatically when u sleep when it come to the Times when ur bucket is soo Full.. but u have the option.. do it 1 time a week and u get happiness or make the body system do it.. u know what i mean right
I'm old and have no sign of prostate cancer,soooo...
Living proof the doc is spot on.
Logical practical information. Masturbation has been an avid hobby of mine since I was about 9 or 10. I turned out alright. Thanks for the affirmation,, doctor. :-)
What's your age now?
@@Boxerr007 I'm as old as Yoda, and equally as robust. ;-)
@@johnclement9370so you're getting to fade away in your sleep
Get a girlfriend 😂😂
One thing that really suprises me is people doing it 4/5 times a day lol.... If I do it twice in a day I'll feel sick after the 2nd time
Even just once I black out and feel extremely tired now 4 to 3 times people are strong
Don’t understand why, but it helps me get to sleep when I have insomnia. It’s far more effective (and pleasurable) than a Tylenol PM. 🤷🏻♂️
It's cause it makes you release endorphines which make you relax and feel sleepy
Hey, a person needs what a person needs.:) especially when with someone who isn’t interested in helping!
I am diabetic and have ED and this is something I sorely miss,and I am 73,soon to be 74
Don't worry,I shall help to overcome ed. Pls le5 me see you dear...loves...
@@matthai67 hi!
I'm in the same boat. Get your blood sugar under control, lose some weight and get your testosterone level checked. I use the gel and it's working. I also inject trimex into my penis. Diabetes sucks!
Im a married 30yr old author and I've got the same libido as when I was a teenager. I have to release at least 9 times a day. It works great 😁
Dude I'm 28 and I maaturbate WAY more now than as a teenager. Feels better every time I do it. Lol
@@King_Steffon_II - 59 here and its way worse than when I was a kid. Seems the older I get the hornier I am lol
I’m going blind and growing a pelt of hair on the palm of my right hand. Should I lay off on my daily quickies?
Yeah, I think you’ve been overdoing it 😂😂😂
Sounds like you are doing it correctly.
Jus have fun, do what you want..
But i got the humour ....😊
Nah . . . just get some glasses and change hands
A long time ago, I was 35 years old (now I am 60 years old), a psychologist (a young LADY!) ask me if I masturbate myself.
Because I find such question very private and personal at that time/moment and also because that psychologist was a young LADY, I ask HER back: "Why do you want THAT to know about me? THAT is private and very personal!"....
Then SHE answered: "I understand your privacy about THIS. But when you NOT masturbate yourself, then maybe something is wrong with you and you may NOT being healthy".
So THAT was/is a very good and a positive way of HER/a psychologist, I find, to talk about masturbation with me!
And therefore I also understand better why such psychologists do ask such question at/to their clients!
Is might have been worth you asking her whether she masturbated herself and how often?
Should have asked her if she wanted to watch 🤣
If it causes you to go blind, can I keep doing it just till I need glasses
I have a white cane on standby in the corner of my bedroom.
Thank you, Doctor, for an excellent, intelligent and informative video on masturbation. I thoroughly agree with you that masturbation is a healthy act for young boys and men, and women. I wished that you would have made some comments on the myth that masturbation causes acne.
Thank you again for your excellent video on masturbation. I hope that a lot of young people...and their parents!...view it.
Thanks for all the good advice and debunking the myths.
I give this video "2 palms up"!
🖐🖐🤣
😂😂😜
Haha, can't stop laughing
Where are you from brother
Thats why religions that suppress sexuality or masturbation is not good,
Been getting my groove on solo since I was 11-no unwanted kids and great de-stresser I’m now 58 no harm done😊🎉😮
Twice a day seems perfect. I have been on the road for 10 years, so it's something i do often. 43 and never no issues. Both morning and night, i have good loads. Morning being more volume and power. Nights are good, but nothing like mornings. Dont plan on changing habit 😊
Hey buddy same here- 63 and a am/pm guy. Been doin it for as long as I can remember. Sometimes more if that urge hits. Keep going strong man!
Never get the opportunity when urge gits. Always at a crazy shipper / receiver. Places are a dam nightmare
@@steveobeav8376 I get u man. U need to find a private place just for you. Good luck buddy 👍🏻
sounds about right to me. especially when you eat a lot of celery and pineapple and drink lots of water they'll be even better . . . Oh . . . and no smoking
I never heard of pineapple & celery. I just stick with water & magnesium & zinc Seems to produce a good mess 2× a day
I think a lot of not being able to get hard and stay that way has to do with being with someone you’re not that into. I have a feeling most people are with someone who they aren’t that into
I use the "quick shot" by fleshlight ,so much better.
Fleshlight edging bestest.
Thank you so much for the frank discussion. I am amazed at the ignorance of people with respect to this issue. Also a pox on religious institutions that demonize masturbation and things. like homosexuality . I am a 71 y/o man in a 45 year homosexual relationship/marriage (my first and only) who still enjoys masturbating (albeit not as often as I did when I was younger). Thanks again
Your hand will never say ‘ not tonyt I have headache’ !!
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Not tonight bcoz Chad gets in the way 🤣🤣🤣
I've also heard that there is evidence that frequent ejaculation reduces the risk of prostate cancer. The idea is that it prevents potentially cancer-causing agents to accumulate.
No problem with #3, sometimes 4x a day maybe more, especially if smoking some good herb.
Edibles here.
Weed always got me in the mood quicker than buze🤪
@@bradleyhamman9426 I know that's right. It makes me more mellow.
It’s irresponsible not to address porn addiction associated with compulsive masturbation.
Responsibility doesn't always come into it - we are each different, with variance in gene expression and PFC control.
Some men are sexual beasts with low impulse control.
Are you qualified to make this generalisation? Please quote research findings.
A lot of people may use it to ease off, but if someone can hold down not to masturbate, the person develops self-control towards sexual urges, which requires a lot of discipline to do
I'm now enlightened. Thanks Doc!
nope never again. it really just gives me more stress , for me its not healthy ill distract myself with my other hobbies to avoid it everyday, this will be my reminder everyday to have a clear and better mind and avoid lust
Only a 5 second mention on the beneficial effects it has on delaying the development of prostate cancer???
Please elaborate more on this.
Masturbation can only be considered harmful if it interferes with daily life or relationships. Some signs that masturbation may be a problem include: Missing work or important events, Neglecting family or partners, Escaping from responsibilities, and Having trouble reaching orgasm
You have summed this up very well!
It is all about individual choice, whether we masturbate or not, & how often, it should be seen as an enjoyable experience, not a chore or something we regret or feel guilty about or that interferes with our daily routine!
Has there been any studies that show a link between masturbation and decreased risk of prostate cancer?
I wonder too.
Nah, if I masturbate too much I definitely can have trouble performing with a partner. Don’t care what studies show, this is true for me.
I think it was CNN's Jeffery Toobin that did a story on this exact topic.
...well, indirectly! 😮😅
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm 72 and divorced. If it feels good do it !!! Makes for a very good sleep and relieves stress 😴😴😴
Great video Doctor! I have a question about using Tamsulosin - after stopping using it I experience retrograde issues - will it ever get back to normal?
Short answer is Yes,it gets better. It’s been 5 months since you posted this. How’s it going for you?
Thanks for asking Doctor. Nothing has changed in my condition. I have just had to learn to live with it. I had hoped it would work itself out and return to normal function.
I’m not the doctor. Just a guy who went through the same thing you described. I stopped taking Tamsulosin after about a year. And it’s taken another year to get back to normal. I take pumpkin seed supplements to help prostate health.
What's your opinion about Hematospermia? Is it because of overdoing it?
Yay! Thanks for sharing this topic on masturbation! 👍👍✌✌😸😸😛😛With me, I look at the positive side of masturbation is always HEALTHY as long as it doesn't get in the way of my life like you mentioned. Kudos to you, Dr. Eric! 😛😛😸😸👍👍✌✌🌈🌈

I have always been told I do it too much but now I can ignore the people on the bus with a clear conscience
What can you say about semen retention with regards to masturbation?
This teaching is killer
Can never be too much. It stops development of prostate cancer.
Yeah. Can you demonstrate?
minute 2:24, can u fix the ''decreasin sexual pleasure from a typical sexual encounter''? this might be in my head but, i think i did it too hard with my self and now after a while, with someone real, it goes down after a few minutes ''10'' 15'' and it is like dead dead. Some info? @DoctorEric

One big misconception I think you may have missed is the production in testosterone and energy that a lot of these no-fap gym bros are preaching. Is there any truth to that one?
