A member asked:
I am confused if i really need to masterbuate. (age 18) is masterbuation really necessary for men and does it help other than reliving sexual tension.

Personal choice: Masturbation is by no means harmful physically, so if it makes you feel good, then by all means go ahead. Masturbation is up to you, it is not considered 'necessary' because it is up to the individual to decide how important it is.
