Is masturbation harmful?

[DarthDub]

I'm sure that cartoon dogs performing sexual acts on Nintendo products is a fetish somewhere on the internet.

Porn is evil. I don't know how people say it's not. Maybe porn is alright when you are like 15-16 and you are in the peak of puberty, but there is a time to grow out of porn. You can't be that sexually charged teenager forever. Porn is an entire industry that takes advantage of people. I can't find the quote, but a person really big in the pornography industry said porn was primarily created to take down WASP culture, and it has succeeded sadly. If you are a person still living with their parents jacking it to their "waifu" everyday, you have a very slim chance of marriage. Simple as that

And don't you dare try to say "but it's people's body they can do whatever they want".

Well, the type you are describing is more of an extreme case, don't you think? These people are in their corner to begin with. Porn can be misused, that much is sure. But evil in general? I really don't see it.

But what would be your plan to make it better? Ban all porn from this world?

You can't ban something permanently, its like guns. But you can tell the dangers of it.

You mean, "ban 90% of internet"? are you crazy?
Internet is gonna bankrupt

The one you are quoting might not care to go there but I will.

I would maintain that most things governments classify as drugs, and have done for a while (I will leave the atrocious "legal high" legislation out of this for now) can be indulged in safely if you do it right.
If you overdo them (and for some the doses can be rather small to be "safe", many of which may be lower than some of the well known effects) then bad things will almost certainly happen but there are "safe" levels at which to indulge.
In that regard I could and will compare to masturbation.

Then almost anything could qualify as a drug, be them sweets, food, tv, surfing the internet or playing video games, even exercicing could be a drug if you overdo it.

Or in short words, everything is bad and should be banned.

Despite what many are saying, most religions, (at least Christianity) have accepted it as a normal part of a man's life. The problem is with porn and using that when you masturbate. But that can be bad for you even if you aren't religious I think.

I forgot to mention in my first post. Masturbation is 100% safe from STDs. That is a huge advantage.

i don't think it's harmful but alittle too much of it might.

I've been doing nofap since a couple of months now and when i relapsed after 15-20 days i didn't feel as bad when i was fapping every 2nd day to (pornographic stuff) so trust me it's not the usual fapping that destroys you it's mostly pornographic stuff (i was too much into doujinshi).

nofap has helped me eliminate ALL of what's pornographic ever since i started.

my goal now is 30 days no fap, when i reach the 30 days I'll go for 90days.
then I'll decide what's best after, but atm.
i love being on nofap, i noticed that when i fap (you sometimes then binge it's dangerous).

when this happens, i lose focus.
and things become abit more difficult to remember etc.

fapping at the end of the day is completely normal as long as you dont stick your eyes to co**s and vag*** all day long.

I think this is the best reply in the whole thread.

Well you are basically giving your brain HUGE amounts of dopamine for doing something very easy! Taking cocaine and other drugs that fuk with your brain uses the same mechanism... Eventually your brain will start to downregulate your dopamine receptors in order to protect your brain... It cant take all that strong stimuli ( I am talking when you do it while watching you know what...)

It will lead to addiction --> withdrawal from socializing --> make you feel like shiit and it is extremely unhealty! So quit this habit and form new ones!

lol try absatining for one week or month.. Lets see how it goes lol... Thats when your addiction will show! Dont you understand how dopamine works lol? Look up ncbi articles... the relationship between porn and drugs... its the same shiit --> both stimulate dopamine receptors except porn is easier to get access to

Thats completely utterly wrong and stupid! How the fuk can you compare these two how sad man... Sex and masturbation is not the same and the biochemical processes going on within your body is not the same either!
You are not just having sex man you are connecting with a human body --> its called love.. The amount of oxytocin released is not the same as shown by many research (i will link when i get home), there is much more to it then that LOL

I will link to this:

fightthenewdrug.org/scientific-studies-porn-use-brain/

These are all new studies on porn and its function on the brain... Especially read the part about a center in our brain called amgydala that is responsible for controlling fear and emotion... it seems to get larger and has more activity --> anxiety

By trying to convince me of your opinion instead of simply stating it you're compromising your credibility. I've already read all of your arguments on other websites.

Oh hey, another thread on masturbation.

Seriously, though, why are you talking about this stuff on a gaming forum? There are probably thousands of more-appropriate forums to post this question to.

My past experience tells me that a reasonable number of people will provide helpful replies.

Because Leafeon34 started it.
Are you really that surprised?

There's actually been a few questions I've refrained from asking because I don't want to ask an excessive number of sexual questions. But I've probably already reached what most members would consider excessive.

Somebody who has built up a name for himself actually mentioned my thread. I really wasn't expecting this. Personally I'd prefer it if he didn't.
