Benefits of not masturbating

[Lodan]

This is something I have not thought about before, so what are some advantages of not masturbating at all?

[justinglives]

Don't think ther r any.
Personally, my balls would explode and id b having a permanent hardon !!!!

[dingo006]

yeah, blue balls, cumming in your sleep, not being able to think clearly cuz you are so horny. I mean id probably have more time to do other things tho...

[EastBound]

So what are the common effects of masturbation you ask?

Here’s a small list (though not an exhaustive one):

Fatigue
Lower back pain
Thinning hair/hair loss
Weak erection
Premature ejaculation
Groin/testicular pain
Concentration and memory problems
Sleep problems
This doesn’t mean that one shall experience all of these effects, though they are very common.

So, by not 'jerking it' You could possibly last longer, stronger erection and less likely to have a premature ejaculation.

[dingo006]

well yeah EastBound, any time you overdo something then its bad for you. so any masturbation thats compulsive, obsessive, or uncontrollable could lead to those things but do it often but not excessively and you can have many positive things.

I looked on the net and i found stuff like : Two recent studies found a link between the number of times a man ejaculates and the likelihood of getting prostate cancer. Also, a pain reliever a stress reliever and a sleep aide.

There really aren't any harmful effects of masturbation, so you don't gain anything by stopping. If you want to not masturbate, that's fine, but it won't cause any health benefits.

[MrJoel]

No i Dont think so

[Gordo]

Ummm... Okay, I'm trying think about what it was like before I started so here's the (possible) advantages:

Fewer of life's little messes to clean up.
Don't have to worry abt getting caught.
Some people feel guilty after doing it, so that won't be an issue.
Won't have to deal with disposing of any evidence.
The next orgasm should be really good.
Free up some amount of time.
Sheets and pants will tend to be more tented. Haha.



If you've never had a wet dream and wondered what they are like, you'll eventually have one.

This is complete load of unscientific crap. The source you've quoted there even starts out by saying

Please note, this article is based primarily upon my opinion

Whereas proper scientific research shows many benefits of masturbation including reduction in stress, and studies (http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn3942-masturbating-may-protect-against-prostate-cancer.html)have shown that ejaculating a minimum of 5 times a week can lower your risk of prostate cancer by a third (also see this source) (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15069045?dopt=Abstract), improve your immune system (http://humrep.oxfordjournals.org/content/12/10/2200.abstract?maxtoshow=&HITS=10&hits=10&RESULTFORMAT=1&andorexacttitle=and&andorexacttitleabs=and&andorexactfulltext=and&searchid=1&FIRSTINDEX=0&sortspec=relevance&volume=12&firstpage=2200&resourcetype=HWCIT), boost your mood and fights depression (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10333355?dopt=Abstract), etc etc.

Yeah, the benefits of masturbation are many, only be extreme over indulgence will any health problems arise...and yeah, wet dreams are messier than jacking anyday...I hate waking up with my bed a mess...I was done with that at 4 when I stopped wetting the bed!!!

No wet dreams? No stained underwear? No awkward moment when your mom walks in? :)

I don't think i've ever had a wet dream - maybe I just never reach that 'critical stage' :confused:

You won't get arrested for doing it in public

[Penteract]

You won't get arrested for doing it in public

Lol. Anyway, there's no benefit for not masturbating, if anything, there's only negative things from not doing it. Not negative as in you'll like die or something, but negative as in you were better off by masturbating.

I don't know if this has been mentioned but for your partner conceiving a child can be hard due to the weakness of your sperm. Your sperm can become weak if you masturbate regularly as it is not getting time to "Strengthen". This is one of the things the doctor will tell you if you ever marry a women and have trouble conceiving that stop masturbating can help considerably as it will give your sperm time to strengthen.

I never knew that. Thanks for telling us.

[Jack1609]

There are a few benefits such as get caught by other members of your family (which has happened to me a few times in the past)! The only negative thing I would say is that if you don't masturbate at least twice a week it is reported that this could increase the risk of developing prostrate cancer.

[Straight]

Really Really Strong.

And it makes you not have boners in public

[NSoKShannon]

There are no advantages to not masturbating :D

[Matt2.0]

None lol.

Well, the most obvious thing if you are trying to get your partner pregnant is that you have get your sperm inside her rather than somewhere else, by having sex with her instead of (rather than as well as) masturbating.

Your fertility when you get to the time of wanting a child is not going to be affected by how much you masturbated several years earlier.

If you are horny and feel like masturbating it seems to me better to go it, get the pleasure from the orgasm and the stress relief, curb your horniness so you can concentrate on other things and reduce your risk of prostate cancer.

Of course it is not going to effect your chances in latter life. It just the thread is titled "Benefits of not masturbating" so I was giving a benefit. Of course it won't effect later life. However it is something to point out.

As far as I can see this is only an issue for guys with low ejaculate volume or issues with impotence (getting hard). All the advice I can see talks about holding off masturbating for 3-4 days before trying to get your partner pregnant.

I haven't been able to find solid evidence to suggest that masturbating has a significant short term effect on sperm viability, have you? Ejaculate volume may decrease but much of that is not actual sperm in the first place and appears to have relatively little effect (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/male-masturbation/AN01189)on chances of conceiving, which relies more on sperm motility (how energetic a swimmer the individual sperm is).

I didn't give a length of time. But it is advised when plannig a baby not masturbate during the time you are plannig and attempting to concive. While it is only 3-4 days it can make a differance + Its not always 3-4 days with all males. It can be little or it can have a massive impact. It varies from male to male. Most commonly it is only a small impact however again it varies male by male (time wise).

[curiousme]

i think the most that can/will happen if u dont masturbate is having wet dreams (cum in your sleep) and frequent boners/ hornyness lol

[Abyssal Echo]

Don't think ther r any.
Personally, my balls would explode and id b having a permanent hardon !!!!

me either lol ! I don't think sticky messy wet dreams are a benefit. but, will happen if you don't jo

[Syler]

I dont think there are any

[jamesscott]

i dont think there are any but maybe ur arm and hand wont get so tired. lol

[deanbrodi]

There's NO advantages to not masturbating at all. In fact if you try not doing it, you can't think clearly because you're always busting for relief. And you'd have a very hard time trying to go to sleep, because all those feelings from not relieving yourself would keep you awake. It's always much better to take the time to masturbate yourself, & let your body take you on an exhilerating ride of beautiful feelings.

[Jakeisamazing]

I don't think there is any

[Troy35216]

the only one i can think of is if i didn't jerk off i might finally have a wet dream. that would be the only way to get rid of the pent up sperm and sexual tension

[ULeon]

If you do not masturbate for some time, the next time you do will be more intense and most likely you will ejaculate more

I'm new to this so i do not really know how to answer questions, or else i would tell you to feel free to message me or something, because ill be happy to answer absolutely any questions that you have.

[Juan barnard]

I don't think u gain any health benefits by not masturbating, on the contrary, I think u will get some side affects, no, I know u wil get side affects, but don't go jacking off just coz ur afraid of some side affects, if u masturbate less then u should be side-affect-less
