Hi! At this point, I'm just checking back when asked a question. When my life gets less hectic, I'll start browsing to find questions to answer. But please ask; I will answer within 24 hours.

alright, my friend is gettin really paranoid. he keeps thinkin that there might be "side effects" from masturbation. he's 15 and he says he's like addicted to bangin himself. so are there any "side effects" from too much masturbation? if so, what are they?

thanks

"side effects"? nope.

It's possible to be addicted to sex, but I seriously doubt that anyone would try to apply that sort of criteria to a 15 year old. I mean, at 15, several males I know admitted to masturbating 2 or 3 times a day, and even the females I knew admitted to masturbating nearly every day. I know I was. :)

He doesn't have to worry about it being bad for him unless it's a) interfering with his life - like, he feels the urge so strongly that he has to ask to leave class to "go to the bathroom" to masturbate b) causing injury to his penis. I've never heard of males injuring their penis, but I have heard of women rubbing themselves raw, so I suppose it's possible for men too. (and honestly, using the inside of your wrist, and/or lube, should solve that)

Tell him to relax, masturbation is a totally normal part of human sexuality. Ask him what side affects he thinks there might be, and we can shoot them all down. :)
