I'm a 17 y/o uncircumsized male and I masturbate once a day. The first time I ever masturbated was about 3 months ago, beleive it or not. Anyway, I was just wondering, does masturbation cause the penis to lose sensitivity the more one does it? Does it make sex less pleasurable once one starts engaging in it on a regular basis? Does it cause the penis to look 'aged' after a while? Is it in ANY POSSIBLE WAY bad for you or does it have ANY negative effects, no matter how slight they are, I'm still curious. Thanks for the help in advance.
I suppose it's possible to lose some sensitivity because of masterbation, but in my opinion it's mostly in your head. You're training your body to respond to something that feels good. Your hand on your penis. When you first have intercourse it will feel different. It may feel better or it may feel not as good. Your body may not respond to the feeling as your used to, or it may respond better. There is really no way anyone can tell you how you'll react.
Something you can do though is to vary the way you masterbate. Try different things from time to time. Don't train your body to respond to just one method of pleasure. That way when you do "do it" it will be just another different form of pleasure. Hopefully you'll be more concerned with your partner and their feelings when the time comes though. <IMG SRC="http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif">
Don't concern yourself over this, just about every guy does it, and yes even us married guys with normal sex lives do it. Do it when you feel like it, don't say you have to do it once a day or twice a day. Just do it when you feel like doing it.
Good luck and have fun. <IMG SRC="http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif">
Masturbation is totally safe, will not cause anything to happen to your penis...if it did, believe me I'd know about it cause I've been stroking for a long time. Today I'm happily married and probably masturbate one to two times week, sometimes more, sometimes less depending on "other activity!" When I was your age though.....for sure daily and sometimes more than once per day! Enjoy yourself and do change the technique from time to time cause you can "train" your friend to only respond to your hand and that can be somewhat of a problem, although not something that can't be changed! enjoy!
