Are there any benifits on the penis from NOT masturbating?

[D_teyjhne]

"Are there any benifits on the penis from NOT masturbating?"

Other than a few saved calories. No.

 

[alpinepaul]

i pause from time to time for 3,4,5 days - that leads to a harder erection (most of the times) and also to a level where i am much easier aroused.

so yes - for me there is a difference not jacking off daily

Your penis will shrink if you don't use it. If you are not circumcised, you increase the risk of getting phimosis if you don't play with foreskin regularly.

Risk of prostate cancer increases without regular masturbation/sex.

You will recall that under the Clinton administration, the US's surgeon general had produced a report that showed the advantages of masturbation and recommended masturbation. She had to be fired because purinatical elements in USA society would not accept such a recommendation. (Despite Clinton being very sexually active)

Consider the progress made during victorian era where masturbation was banned. Consider the programm man made once masturbation was no longer banned. Electricuty, computers, man on the moon, the internet etc. There a a definite corrolation

Masturbation is good. And it is also good for the economy (increased consumption of toilet paper, increased purchases in porn materials etc etc). It is also a good cardio vascular exercise, especially when you get it to last over 10 minutes instead of just 30 seconds. If you get it to last an hour and get all sweaty in bed, it is also a good exercise to lose weight.

So lets put this in short form:
if you stop masturbating:
-penis smaller
-foreskin problems
-prostate cancer
-you get fat
-less healthy
-you go nuts.

i dont have foreskin though, and is there any evidence that your penis wil get smaller if you dont masturbate?? i never heard that. i was thinking it might get bigger because its tissue, which if "healed" might be bigger. but i really dont know.

 

[D_Alec_Baldtwins]

Probably. And you'll have a richer social life!

hahaha I loved your whole post, but these two parts really stuck out to me. :smile:

I think that if it makes you feel good, why not? if your dick is getting sore after masturbating, then yeah, you might be overdoing it just a bit! give it a rest once in a while until your dick is being sore from NOT being jacked off, eh?

 

[SirConcis]

If you compare en who do not masturbate, you will see that their penis are definitely smaller than those who masturbate. (that is because 99% of such cases, those who do not masturbate haven't reached puberty yet

Seriously though, erections and massage of penis are needed regularly to give it adequate blood supply. The penis, when flaccid, is not well fed with blood. (this is why some cyclists experience numb dick while riding for instance)

The fact is that males are wired to masturbate or have sex. Just like we are wired to eat, piss and do number 2 and breathe.

 

[D_Miranda_Wrights]

Haha, SirConcis's post is definitely a more amusing answer, although not totally accurate. (Never seen evidence linking non-masturbation to decreased penis size or increased phimosis risk; I doubt frequent blood flow to the penis really increases circulatory efficiency there; masturbation probably distracts from more economic activity than in spurs; you probably won't causally "get fat," "go nuts," or invent the semiconductor.)

But, the benefits from masturbation (psychological, decreased rates of prostate cancer, etc.) probably do outweigh the downsides (friction burns or pain for some), and most of those can be fixed (e.g., with lubricant.)

Unless masturbation is consuming your life or causing you psychological harm, it's probably a good thing for you. Enjoy.

I had read something about regular erections beeing needed to keep the penis properly "fed" with blood because when flaccid, the flow of blood in the core of the penis is not sufficient to provide enough nutrients/oxygen for long term. This is one of the reasons that evolution has given men nocturnal erections. (or so it said).

Simimalrly, very long erections also end up trapping blood inside the penis and that blood can get "stale" because the cells will have consumed all the oxygen/nutrients in that blood, and that blood remains in the penis to keep it inflated.

There was one time when I couldn't masturbate for a while due to the places I was sleeping, and my belly started to hurt (I suspect prostate). The first night I had enough privacy to relieve myself, what a relief it was and what a mess it had made !

So if you don't masturbate often enough, you can hurt your prostate. (yeah, I know, you're supposed to have wet dreams but for me, i never get them).

I've recently found the best way to masturbate, time permitting, is to apply the minimum amount of stimulation that causes a pleasant feeling, just using one finger, and to maintain that, without speeding up or changing grip.
It takes a long time to build up and cum. It's intense. The penis stays hard (though not engorged) for a long time afterward, and subsequent erections are more rigid, and frequent. Not much risk of causing a bruise or chafe with this technique, either.

2-3 days gap increases the real enjoyment with masturbation as well as any type of fuck. It's my experience (non-circumcised).

 

[D_Roland_D_Hay]

If your dick is sore from masturbating, you might want to use lube. Otherwise enjoy--there will come a day where you can't masturbate as much due to other commitments, so beat away while you can.

 

[D_teyjhne]

yea i sometimes use a fleshlight, but my dick is way sore the next day, not getting enough lube in it i suppose.

 

[earllogjam]

Friction from over masturbation w/o lube causes skin burn and a different texture on the shaft. My lips and tongue can sense the difference in texture and prefer the smoother non-skin burn texture.
