Can excessive masturbation causes loss of eye sight leading to blindness?

Masturbation-blind: No. This is a myth that many young people believe is true. Masturbation is normal and does not cause any risk to health.

No: This is a classic "old wives tale" which dates from the victorian era when masturbation was associated with a variety of evils. This was intended to stop the practice which we now know is benign.
