Behind Closed Doors –Expert Opinion About Masturbation
|
The truth is out there and I have seen the light. I see it every time teens e-mail me; their problems are all the same, their symptoms all parallel one another. I see the light whenever middle-aged men confront me about premature ejaculation or erectile dysfunction; their pasts are all the same. Over-masturbation kills sex. A trend that alarms me is the way that the medical community seems to advocate masturbation and say that it is perfectly healthy. It is to a certain extent but like all good things, masturbation (and sex for that matter) can be come addictive. Men who have chronically masturbated throughout their lives come to me in horrible conditions, not just sexually either. They are depressed, balding, fatigue, lack concentration, lack motivation, have weak bones and joints, are underweight, and fed up with it all. Some of them have been suicidal. Others just want to have a sex life. It is a good thing that they have come to me though because I can help them and hopefully, together we can all spread the truth about masturbation. Masturbation is the act of self-stimulation for sexual pleasure. People are programmed to be sexual (like all things in nature though humans are the only species that actually reproduce because it is pleasurable) and some people start masturbating at a very young age around 5 or 6. Masturbating this young is often a result of a traumatic experience and because masturbation feels good, they use it as a form of therapy to cope with such tragedies like a death in the family. However, if these children begin to rely on masturbation and do so chronically, they are almost guaranteed to keep this habit with them as they age and mature. Masturbation before puberty is particularly damaging for males as the necessary hormones and nutrients are essential for a male’s growth during this time. That is why many people who have over-masturbated themselves during their youth are underweight or short. They also have deformities in their penises and lose hair sooner. I blame this on child circumcision as the glans penis gets exposed early and young boys become aware of the pleasurable sensations earlier in life without getting a chance to learn about their bodies first. Many people have been raised to believe that masturbation is not damaging and is natural and is done by everybody; if you don’t do it there is something wrong with you. Likewise there have been people who have been raised to believe that masturbation is a disgusting and horrible act. I choose to stand in between these two points of view. It is my firm belief that masturbation is normal and healthy if kept to a minimum. It should be used to primarily experiment and allow a person to become more familiar with their body and the sensations and pleasures it can bring. Like alcohol consumption, a little is healthy, a lot is very unhealthy; the same goes for masturbation.
