Male Masturbation: 5 Things You Didn’t Know!

  1. It is safe yet risky:

If you go around having sexual intercourse with anyone from anywhere, there are high chances for you getting sexually transmitted diseases.

However, masturbation cannot give you any illness or infection that ultimately causes your demise. So, maybe it is better and safer than unprotected sex.

Masturbation itself might be a low-risk thing, but it is not a risk-free thing. Anything too much is never good for your body and your health, so over masturbation is not healthy as well.

It can cause lots of problems eventually, such as weak erection, pre-ejaculation, shrinkage of the penis, testicular pain, rare infertility, and sperm leakage.

You can hurt yourself while doing masturbation. Penis injuries are common for men to get. The skin of your penile area is sensitive! So, masturbation might leave an effect on that too. Facedown masturbation can cause urethra or urine issues.

Even if you are doing it, try to be as gentle you can be.

  1. It helps in exploring your body:

Masturbation might be the best option for some people. Not many people lose their virginity until they are in love or feel like they are ready to do it or, they are not comfortable with the idea of sex.

That’s when masturbation comes to the rescue because it does not require any partner or commitments.

But that does not mean that you are only allowed to masturbate when you are single. All people masturbate! It does not matter if they are single or in a relationship or they are married.

Masturbation helps in exploring the body; it tells you what pleases you and what bores you.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, masturbation is a natural and healthy method of self-exploration that contributes to one’s sexual wellbeing. It presents numerous physical and mental advantages and lacks any severe side effects. Engaging in self-pleasure and feeling at ease with touching oneself is encouraged as part of maintaining sexual health.

Masturbation is good and makes people happy to an extent if people are doing it in a controlled manner and amount. However, if you think you are doing it too much, and it is affecting your life, it is better to go to a therapist.

  1. Semen is different in masturbation and sexual intercourse:

Having sexual intercourse with someone and jerking off with your hand are entirely two different things, so outcomes are different too. Sexual intercourse has countless benefits for both men and women.

It improves penile health, blood flow, heart conditions, and pain, whereas masturbation does not provide you with any health benefits! Sure it gives you immeasurable pleasure at a time, but its obsession is not healthy.

Semen is the fluid released from the male reproductive organ penis. It contains small sperm cells that are essential for fertilization and reproduction.

The quality of semen is different when released during sex in comparison with masturbation. People still have no idea why the semen quality or ejaculation is contrasting in both methods, but the body responds differently to both.

Many people chose sex after their first time, instead of masturbation without hesitation as sex is more fun and fulfilled the need and wants of a person.

  1. Lubricants and Kegels:

There is no best time for masturbation! But that does not mean for you to go and masturbate thrice and four times a day regularly because that’s when your likes become an obsession.

Whenever you masturbate, your body release fluids called semen. Semen contains many nutritional things such as protein, fatty acid, and fructose.

So, losing too much semen due to masturbation can cause many health problems. It can cause penis pain and sensitivity in the penile area.

For this purpose, people use lubricants. Lubricants or lubes are organic substances that people use to keep their penile area moist, making the penis more lubricated, resulting in the best orgasm.

Health Magazine suggests that adding lubricant is a straightforward yet effective method to enhance masturbation for both men and women. Men can benefit from using silicone lubricant, which offers a more pleasurable experience and does not dry out quickly. This helps prevent chafing, dryness, and desensitization of the penis skin caused by intense friction during masturbation.

Another thing that can improve your sexual health is by doing Kegels. Kegels help in strengthening the muscles of the penile area. It makes masturbation more pleasurable and results in a better orgasm.

So, make sure to use lube if you don’t want to hurt yourself.

  1. It might lead to the best sexual intercourse or worst:

For some people, masturbation might help a lot. It helps to improve the sex life of a person leading to the best sex of their life.

Masturbation can be the first step for exploring your body. It helps in teaching people what they like or desire and about their sexual responses.

It helps the person to know their sexual preferences and needs. So, they can try things with their partners. When you know what turns you on and your sensitive spots, it leads to great sex with your partner.

However, it can be a bad thing for you if your one-time masturbation becomes an obsession, and you end up jerking at least thrice a day by watching porn. It is not adequate for physical and mental health.

VeryWell Mind reports that if an individual engages in masturbation too frequently or compulsively, they may face several adverse outcomes. These potential consequences encompass decreased sexual satisfaction, a decline in self-esteem, alterations in eating habits leading to weight loss, hyperactivity or hypoactivity, as well as disruptions to other aspects of life such as personal relationships and work as a result of their chronic masturbation habits.

If you think that your wants are becoming an obsession, then it is best to get laid or seek medical attention or a therapist.

In conclusion, we elaborated a few facts about male infertility, which you should know as well. We hope that this information can help you become more aware of male concerns regarding infertility and help you look for solutions.

Does Male Masturbation Frequency Affect Fertility?

Introduction

Male masturbation is a common practice among men of all ages, but does it have an effect on fertility? This paper will examine the research and scientific evidence to determine whether male masturbation frequency does indeed affect fertility. This paper will evaluate the potential effects of masturbation on sperm production, semen quality, and overall fertility.

Sperm Production

One of the most important aspects of male fertility is sperm production. It is generally accepted that sperm production and sperm quality are affected by various factors, including frequency of ejaculation. Studies have shown that men who ejaculate more frequently tend to have higher levels of sperm production than those who ejaculate less frequently. However, the exact relationship between frequency of ejaculation and sperm production is still unclear. In one study, researchers found that men who ejaculated at least five times per week had significantly higher levels of sperm production than those who ejaculated less frequently. This suggests that frequent ejaculation may have a positive effect on sperm production.

Semen Quality

In addition to sperm production, semen quality is also important for male fertility. Semen quality is determined by the number of sperm present in the ejaculate, as well as the quality of the sperm. Studies have shown that frequent ejaculation can have a positive effect on semen quality. One study found that men who ejaculated at least five times per week had significantly higher levels of semen quality than those who ejaculated less frequently. This suggests that frequent ejaculation may have a beneficial effect on semen quality.

Overall Fertility

The overall fertility of a man is determined by a variety of factors, including sperm production and semen quality. Studies have shown that frequent ejaculation can have a positive effect on overall fertility. In one study, researchers found that men who ejaculated at least five times per week had significantly higher levels of overall fertility than those who ejaculated less frequently. This suggests that frequent ejaculation may have a positive effect on overall fertility.

Conclusion

Overall, the research suggests that frequent ejaculation may have a positive effect on male fertility. Studies have shown that frequent ejaculation can have a positive effect on sperm production, semen quality, and overall fertility. While the exact relationship between frequency of ejaculation and male fertility is still unclear, it is clear that frequent ejaculation may have a beneficial effect on male fertility.
