Another masturbation question

[Going Hooded]

I have another mature question about masturbation. Every so often there are times when I feel like doing it and the urge is strong when I am going about my day to day life. I just wondered if this is my body saying it needs to be released --- ie hormonal?

When I feel that urge, I just masturbate, assuming I am in a situation that I can do it. I have not stopped to wonder about the why. Why do you want to know?

Sounds like lack of a better thing to do, if not downright boredom.

I am just asking. I want to take care of my body. That is why I have been asking about this. My dad had very aggressive prostate cancer. I want to take care of my prostate.

Sorry about your dad. I think the medical community is undivided. More ejaculations = more better = better for your prostate. Have at it. :)

Sorry about your dad.

The one study I remember reading relating masturbation to prostate cancer concluded that men who ejacualted the most often during their younger years (I think it was before their 40s) had the lowest incidence of prostate cancer.

I would say if that is your concern, do plenty of masturbating. But I do not have a lot of confidence that the relationship has been sorted out. The studies have lots of assuptions, are self reporting, use small sample sizes, and have many uncontroled variables.

I'd say train yourself to fight the urge as much as you can comfortably. It could help prevent premature ejaculation and as a result improve your sex life in the future. If overeating and overspending money has taught us anything is that overindulging can be bad.

I've never heard of any link between masturbation and premature ejaculation. If anything, it can be used to practice control in delaying ejaculation until a point where it's no longer considered premature.

If you've been keeping your glans covered often lately while using any restoration device, the increased sensitivity of your glans and inner foreskin may be more noticeable, giving you more of an urge to get off. But then all of us think about it every now and then, anyway - just a part of being male.

Thanks for your replies. You have given me a lot to think about. I just want to take care of my body.

I... what? No offense, but that doesn't make any sense, unless he's masturbating so much that other things in his life (eating, sleeping, time with friends and loved ones, a job) are being neglected. Whatever could be wrong with getting to know what gives your body pleasure? And if he knows what gives his body pleasure, what doesn't, how he can control himself during masturbation so he doesn't shoot his load too quickly... well, premature ejaculation problem solved, then.

Honestly, I'd be a little concerned and wonder if there was something wrong, either physically or emotionally, if a guy said he didn't masturbate.
