2. Masturbation is not risk-free. Sure, it’s low-risk. It’s the safest form of s’ex possible. No one ever caught an STD from himself or made himself pregnant. But like other low-risk activities (chewing, walking), it still has some risks.
Frequent or rough masturbation can cause minor skin irritation. Forcefully bending an erect pen’is can rupture the chambers that fill with blood, a rare but gruesome condition called penile fracture.
Afterward, the pen’is looks like an eggplant, It’s purple and swollen.” Most men need surgery to repair it.
3.There’s no “normal” amount of masturbation. Guys can get hung up on whether they masturbate too much. But it’s not how many times you masturbate in a week (or day) that really matters. It’s how it fits into your life.
If you masturbate many times a day and have a healthy, satisfying life, good for you. But if you masturbate many times a day and you’re missing work or giving up on s’ex with your partner because of it, consider seeing a s’ex therapist.
Even then, there’s nothing specific about masturbation that’s the problem. Compulsive masturbation is like any behavior that disrupts your life, whether it’s compulsively playing poker or buying Beanie Babies on eBay.
