I don't think there are any negatives. Anyone I've heard are old wives' tales.

Positive effects can be:

Sexual pleasure (well, that's obvious);
Getting to know better your body;
Learning to control ejaculation times;
Frequent ejaculation helps avoiding prostate cancer;
Feeling your manhood in your hand;

Negative effects come only in case of addiction, but in this matter masturbation isn't different from ice cream, internet or anything else: cum grano salis.

... Well, I don't know if my issues would affect you. But I do know guys that have rubbed their cocks raw from too much masturbating before.

even though they're not ALWAYS right, I'm a fan of wikipedia, and so, I give YOU: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masturbation

nice on the 'techniques'... :D
ENJOY!

Benefits

The physical benefits of masturbation and having an orgasm or ejaculating creates heightened arousal while epinephrine courses through the body, producing the flushed face, shallow breath and post-climactic euphoria.[36] It is held in many mental health circles that masturbation can relieve depression, stress and lead to a higher sense of self-worth (Hurlbert & Whittaker, 1991). Masturbation can also be particularly useful in relationships where one partner wants more sex than the other – in which case masturbation provides a balancing effect and thus a more harmonious relationship.[37]
Mutual masturbation, the act by which two or more partners stimulate themselves in the presence of each other, allows a couple to reveal the "map to [their] pleasure centers". Witnessing a partner masturbate is an educational activity to find out the method a partner pleases him- or herself, allowing each partner to learn exactly how the other enjoys being touched.[38]
In 2003, an Australian research team led by Graham Giles of The Cancer Council Australia[39] concluded that frequent masturbation by males appears to help prevent the development of prostate cancer. The study also indicated that this would be more helpful than ejaculation through sexual intercourse because intercourse can transmit diseases that may increase the risk of cancer instead. Also, frequent ejaculation is more easily obtained and sustained over time with the aid of masturbation.
A study published in 1997 found an inverse association between death from coronary heart disease and frequency of orgasm even given the risk that myocardial ischaemia and myocardial infarction can be triggered by sexual activity. Excerpt, "The association between frequency or orgasm and all cause mortality was also examined using the midpoint of each response category recoded as number of orgasms per year. The age adjusted odds ratio for an increase of 100 orgasms per year was 0.64 (0.44 to 0.95)." That is, a difference between any two subjects appeared when one subject ejaculated at around two or more more times per week than the other. Assuming a broad range average of between 3 to 5 ejaculations per week for healthy males, this would mean 5 to 7 ejaculations per week. This is consistent with a 2003 Australia article on the benefits against prostate cancer.[40]
Masturbation is also seen as a sexual technique that protects individuals from the risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases. Support for such a view, and for making it part of the American sex education curriculum, led to the dismissal of US Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders during the Clinton administration.
Sexual climax, from masturbation or otherwise, leaves one in a relaxed and contented state. This is frequently followed closely by drowsiness and sleep – particularly when one masturbates in bed.
Some professionals consider masturbation to function as a cardiovascular workout.[41] Though research is still as yet scant, those suffering from cardiovascular disorders (particularly those recovering from myocardial infarction, or heart attacks) should resume physical activity (including sexual intercourse and masturbation) gradually and with the frequency and rigor which their physical status will allow. This limitation can serve as encouragement to follow through with physical therapy sessions to help improve endurance.

Problems for males

A man whose penis has suffered a blunt trauma or injury during intercourse may rarely sustain a penile fracture[43] or suffer from Peyronie's disease.[44] Phimosis is "a contracted foreskin (that) may cause trouble by hurting when an attempt is made to pull the foreskin back".[45] In these cases, any energetic manipulation of the penis can be problematic.
Lawrence I. Sank[46] thought that masturbating prone (lying face downward) could be responsible for sexual problems in some men including anorgasmia and erectile dysfunction. He based this theory on four men he examined and coined the term traumatic masturbatory syndrome to describe it. As of 2008, no follow-up research has been conducted and the idea is not familiar or widely-held within the medical community. Some authors, however, continue to give it credence.[47][48]

Compulsive masturbation

Sigmund Freud pointed out that every normal child usually experiments with many types of autoerotic sexual stimulation. Social repressions of sexuality reached their peak in the Victorian era when popular authors wrote books threatening young children with mental deficiency or insanity if they indulged in any form of masturbation. Actually there is no scientific evidence of any causative relationship between autoeroticism and any form of mental disorder. Though mentally disturbed persons characteristically show poor judgment in expressing sexuality, this may be understood as a symptom rather than a cause. Each child however, must learn the appropriate social and legal limitations relating to expressing sexuality. Masturbating frequently presents no physical, mental or emotional risk in itself,[49] but masturbation can be used to relieve boredom or stress. In either case, as with any "nervous habit", it is more helpful to consider the causes of the boredom or of the stress, rather than try to repress the masturbation.[50]
There is some discussion between professionals and other interested parties as to the existence or validity of sexual addictions. Nevertheless, there are lists of warning signs such as when sexual activity affects a person's ability to function in everyday life, or is placing them at risk, for example, of pursuing illegal or destructive activities. Very frequent and compulsive masturbation may be seen as a sign of sexual addiction.[51]

There are many negative effects of masterbation, you probably heard them from your parents.

Your vision will get blurry

You may just go blind

You'll grow hair on the palm of your hands

If you play with it to much it might just fall off

Masterbating is a Sin and you'll go to hell

-----I'm sure there are more, they are just not coming to me, but I'm sure MOM and DAD have told everyone many negative side effects of masterbating

negative effects:

wet spots
cum rags

friends coming into your room, and your cum rag is folded neatly next to your bed. Do you dash to hide it, or leave it there, and hope they don't recognize its use?

Its a terrible guilt and anxiety to live with. I'd say, stop masturbating, and save yourself the stress. Try playing basketball, or perhaps a thrilling bingo game instead.

What I find amusing is that most people from very early childhood have masturbated in some way or another. Little children in exploring their bodies naturally do it . I dont think about it. When I need to take care of business I do what is necessary. It really isnt or shouldnt be any big deal.

From experience, I would say that after jerking off, one tends to have a clearer mind. When you have an itch and it needs to be scratched (no pun intended) it is always better to masterbate and then make the dicisions.

With masterbating comes the cloud out of the head. It should not be concluded that this is always the situation, but for me that is the circumstance. Take this site for example.

Before I would get jerk it off, I would decide to post photos here and the instance that i would do it I would have second thoughts. The story of my life is told from beyond the boundaries of my underwear. Lol.

Masturbation is a gift that all men are given as boys. It is something we behold and enjoy as men.
