Is daily masturbation healthy?

[Mark586]

I've been going through a lot of stress in my life at the moment, masturbating has been helping some of that stress go away, I'm currently 17, is this healthy or should I try to stop?

Generally speaking, yes it's healthy to empty the testes as well as ellieviate excess seminal fluid in the prostate on a regular basis, espeicially in young men. However, I do advise that excessive masterbation can interfer down the road when you are in a relationship with a woman. The vagina isn't going to give you the same sensation, pressure or grip that your own hand does and you can get too accusutomed to self love and have problems with ejaculation once you are in a partnered sexual relationship.

Hundreds of millions of teenagers masturbate 3 times a day with no ill effects and go on to have healthy sexual relations later on and even after that continue to masturbate.

As do women with vibrators but allot of young men have some initial adjustment issues getting used to a woman's body just as women become dependent on machines for pleasure. It does happen, it's common in human beings to get accusutomed to things whether it be your hand, toys, drugs and alcohol.

You're right.

If you whack off too much dude you are going to get accustomed to it, but once a day isn't gonna hurt you. It's when you get up into the 3+ times a day area that I think this problem with intercourse with a woman tends to occur. Notice that even when you jerk off twice you have to exert more effort than it took the first time, and still more if you try for thrice? You should try to avoid doing that because, as the above poster said, there's no way a vagina is going to give the same type of pressure and sensation as you give you yourself and you will get accustomed to it.

That said I'm a guy and when I was an adolescent it was nothing for me to go 3 times a day. When I entered into my first serious relationship this was a bit of a problem the first couple times but as she was around all the time I stopped jerking off completely and everything was good.

In short- whacking off is fine just don't go overboard with it, and you'll be fine.
