1. Masturbating will not harm you physically. When your responding muscles are tired, they will stop responding.

2. The more serious issue is your lack of outside activities and contacts that is putting you in the porn watching mode constantly.

There must be many extra-curricular activities that would get you out of the house and in contact with real people rather than imaginary ones who show up as pixels on your screen. You cannot learn how to deal with people by avoiding them.

[SIZE="6">[CENTER]MASTURBATION IS NOT HARMFUL TO YOUR HEALTH OR WELLBEING[/CENTER][/SIZE]

Now, having said that, the middle ground, or, exception to the above is this:

If you masturbate a lot or too vigorously and chafe the skin this can make future endeavors a bit painful and cumbersome until the wounds heal.

The other caveat is that masturbation is not harmful, although, if doing it interferes with other obligations, chores, activities, then it is not the best use of your time.

I do suggest that you learn to manage your time better, develop other interests and activities in order to stimulate your mind and body in other ways. Most males have an interest in porn to some degree or another. Most often it is temporary. If you are busy doing homework, chores, hobbies, etc., then you will be less likely to be masturbating or looking at porn.

The pros and cons of masturbating has been discussed many times. Here is a link that covers the subject very well. It has additional links that you should also go to and read. Please read my comments in all the threads.

Every guy has a different level or sex drive. Some of us masturbate once every two or three days, some one or more times a day, and whatever you settle on is OK. Often the number of times you do it vary due to stresses or the desire for pure pleasure. You cannot do it too much. If you try, after so many times your body will simply refuse to respond for several hours.

The longer the period of time between sessions, the stronger the subsequent orgasm will be. So, part of what you have to learn to manage is striking a balance between having intense orgasms vs. giving into stress. This is something we all have to learn to do for our sanity.

I hope this is of help. Got questions?

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]I agree. Don’t worry about it to much. As long as it dose not interfere with your life, then it is fine. Masturbating once a day is not that high for a16 year old. [/SIZE][/FONT]

[QUOTE=wantsex;217457]hi i am 16 year old and most of time i am alone at home. i watch porn everyday because no one is home.

[COLOR="Blue">There must be some attraction beyond the initial curiosity. I am more concerned about the impact watching so much of this stuff might have on you. Of course these videos can have some educational value when a person has no idea or clue of what to do; however, most pornography is designed to stimulate a guy which is why the content is what it is. Personally, I do not like the recent trend with these "productions" to devote lots of time to the build up only to switch to a different story line instead of showing the climax! This is frustrating and anti-climactic and enough of a reason to stop watching them.[/COLOR]

and i masturbate everyday i heard that masturbating is not good for you health or your sex life. is that true???

[COLOR="Blue">Asked and answered. Regardless of how frequently you do it, there are generally only benefits.[/COLOR]

And how can i stop masturbating everyday???

[COLOR="Blue">Simply decide not to and then busy yourself with other activities. The last element is key. If you stop watching porn then much of the stimulus driving you to masturbate will be gone. Controlling your urges will be easier.

Since you are so caught up with videos, I recommend watching a cute movie called "40 Days and 40 Nights", starring Josh Hartnett. It is an R rated movie and addresses this concern with an interesting and entertaining story. It's available through most video stores like Blockbuster or Hollywoood Video. [/color]

please help i also don't want to masturbate but when i am alone i don't know where the hell this watching porn idea come in my mind?? please help me how do i stop masturbating everyday????????[/QUOTE]

I am more concerned about the exposure and affect watching pornography will have on you than how often or frequently you masturbate. Do it as often as you need to or desire to--yet with some management over this as noted, above.

Learning self control is a part of growing up and becoming mature and responsible. Perhaps it is time you begin learning this skill. Read a book, do some chores, get out of the house and spend time doing worthwhile things like sports, etc., so you do not while away your time watching these videos because you are bored. Also, most kids do not watch porn, so, what do they do with their time instead?

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Doc I don’t think that is true, most boys his age watch porn on the internet, maybe not every day, but on a some what regular basis.(just from personal experience) I agree with you that most modern pornography is crap, but I don’t think most of it is harmful as long as you understand that they are just fantasies.

I do see what you mean, but there can be a problem with guys who lack in experience who watch porn on a regular basis, espeacialy thoughs who watch the crap stuff. I did here some where i think, but dont quote me on this that it can cause phycological problems.however the initial problem i can see with guys who lack in experience who watch porn, will become disopointed when actauly encountering a sexual relationship with a real women, because thoughs who lack in experience may not know what is real, from fantasy.

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]I agree that it could be a problem for some. Porn should not be something that you use to learn about sex. It is very important that people understand that it is for entertainment and is not real. Just as if you watch any movie, a lot of it is fantasy and not part of reality. If he understands that then I do not think it is harmful for him.[/SIZE][/FONT]

Hey i am considered a legend in my school because people think that I have masturbated 57 times ina day..Its not true ,obviosly, but they think like that ....anyways I have in deed tried to masturbate 10 times ..after the 6 first times it sucks ,,it looks like you are eating when you are full....
It wont harm you ...but dopnt forgt that... too much porn=addiction...I cut my "porn intake" because I had a period when I was sexually not aroused (a month) and It was tragic for me ..I didnt ,turn on, for any reason,,,, I felt like shiit...I thought that i was gay..but neether males neither females turned me on.. but after disscused with my father (he is a psychatrist) I found the source of the problem and I am more sexually aroused than ever...And I looove girls .,they are super hot.....But it may have been a hormonal change too (i am 14)
any ways masturbation is dangerous and the body doesnt let yopu masturbate more than it can handle
