please help docs! is masturbation loss of virginity?

Question

I have a seventeen yr old virgin who has asked if she can masturbate using just her hand and fingers without lossing her virginity is that posible and?

Answer 1

No: Almost all males and a majority of females begin with this. "virginity" is something that cultures considered important because a man would not want his wife / the mother of his children to have been with anyone beforehand. Nowadays, most decent people, especially those delaying marriage, are little concerned. Don't make life more complicated or problematic than it needs to be.

Answer 2

No: Virginity= someone who has never had partner sex. It is not about intact structures (hymen) which a woman can be born without or lose in non sexual activities. Virginity is about not being pregnant with another man's child when you marry, or not bringing a sexually transmitted disease to a relationship. Self sex does not change your status & is considered a normal part of sexual expression.

Answer 3

Yes: There is some biofeedback. You can bring yourself to the point of climax, stop, pinch the tip of your penis hard for 30 seconds and resume. This is called the squeeze technique. Medications may also be helpful. Some sex therapists recommend less masturbation and more couples training to help time orgasm better.

Answer 4

Yes: Get a book to perfect technique, I don't have enough words to explain the technique, and frankly, this is a bit inappropriate a question to ask on a medical site. I'm sure a Urologist or fertility expert could help you

Answer 5

Very likely, yes.: By definition OCD contains the word "obsessed". Generally when we say we are obsessed about something it's because we don't like a specific thought, feeling or behavior we have that contriols us and we don't control it. To rise to the level of a disorder it has to impact our life negatively, cause problems and appear to be out of our willful control. That's when professional help is needed.

Answer 6

Possibly: If you have other symptoms of ocd, otherwise you may just be going through a phase. Or you find it so pleasant and so irresistible that you arethhinking about it all the time. Seek counselling if it is interfering with your life.

Answer 7

Even if not.....: Whether you are portnoy reborn or not doesn't matter. Ssris (such aa fluoxetine -prozac) are used with great effect to treat ocd. They also dampen libido and orgasms more difficult. That's the ticket! i doubt without frequency, we can tell if your ocd.

Answer 8

Too Much Good Thing?: You might want to take a look what the "go ask alice" online q&a service run by columbia u's school of public health: http://bit.Ly/17krv3h. "alice" suggests questions to ask yourself about your patterns of masturbation, your attitudes about it, etc. She points out that different people have very different masturbation habits. There is a wide range of experience.

Answer 9

Several: An unhealthy lifestyle, mental stress, relational stress, physical damage to the sex organ, poor performance at the work place, withing the family or in relationships in general. You would have to define "over-masturbation" though. What some would consier "over" may be normal for someone else. Discuss with your pcp, counsellor, clergy, mentor or health/mental health counsellor.

Answer 10

Not Much: Hopefully the patient will masturbate less.

Answer 11

Very: Maturbation is very common in most people.

Answer 12

Masturbation is real: Masturbation is part of the human experience. Taking morality out of the equation and investigating this scientifically shows us that almost all humans in all cultures, races, religions, and in every other conceivable category one finds that masturbation is common. There is no inherent issue with masturbation and health. Every human has a right to know their body.
