Find out if you may be a potential victim of health issues due to frequent masturbation

1. Is Frequent Masturbation Causing Penis Health Problems?
Although masturbation is a normal and healthy sexual impulse, there can be such a thing as too much
masturbation. Unfortunately, the embarrassment most men feel when talking about issues of a sexual
nature means that many of them are completely unaware about how much damage excessive
masturbation can do to their penises.
How much is too much?
Most males begin masturbating in adolescence when they are around 12 or 13 and usually start off
masturbating about once every one or two days. However, males can usually increase this amount once
they get into the habit of masturbating frequently, while some men can actually get addicted to the
physical release. Ideally masturbation should be kept to around two or three times a week, while
masturbating more than once a day is typically too much and can lead to negative penis health.
What are the negative side effects?
There are many ways you can damage your penis by masturbating too much:
- Penis skin irritation - as you may expect, frequent masturbation can lead to an irritation of the skin,
making the penis red and sore
- Loss of sensitivity - over time, the penis can get used to the constant contact and attention of
masturbation, meaning it can become desensitized during intercourse. The dry rubbing effect of
masturbation can damage cell neurons in the penis and may eventually lead to diminished sexual
pleasure
- Dry penis skin - occasionally, a ‘callous’ effect may be noticed on the penis where penile skin begins to
toughen and harden. Again, this can lead to lessened sensitivity and diminished pleasure during
intercourse
- Cracking or breaking the skin - excessive masturbation may cause the penis skin to split. Although you
won’t be able to see them, these tears in the skin can cause a lot of damage as they allow viruses and
bacteria to enter and infect the penis, as well as travel to other areas of the body
- Urethral damage - men suffering from urethral damage can often end up with scar tissue forming on
their urethra. This can then lead to difficulty urinating, as well as a diminished amount of ejaculate being
released during climax which can lead to fertility issues

2. - Erectile dysfunction - this can occur due to the capillaries in the penis becoming damaged, while other
veins may appear damaged and unsightly. Later in life, this damage to the penile capillaries can lead to
difficulties in getting and maintaining an erection
- Misshapen penis - Peyronie’s disease is an illness that occurs when frequent masturbation actually
begins to affect the shape of the penis. Sufferers from Peyronie’s disease often have curved penises or
experience a shortening of the penis shaft.
Other effects
It is also possible for men who masturbate excessively to suffer from chemical imbalances in the brain.
The purpose of ejaculation is to release sperm and DNA in order for reproduction to occur. However,
frequent masturbation can lead to a depletion of core chemicals and hormones in the brain, most notably
serotonin, acetylcholine and dopamine. This depletion means the brain is constantly producing more of
these chemicals in order to balance the body, meaning men who masturbate excessively can suffer from
severe and abrupt chemical changes.
Steps Men Can Take to Prevent Penis Health Issues
Men can avoid penis problems resulting from frequent masturbation by using a lubricant when
masturbating, cut back on frequency of masturbation, be more gentle when masturbating and perhaps,
most importantly, by using a penis health creme( http://www.man1health.com ) (health professional
