A member asked:
Is it possible to get arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome from excessive masturbation?

No: Arthritis no. Carpal tunnel syndrome highly unlikely. If you feel your need to masturbate is excessive, see a therapist. You may have developed a habit that makes you feel trapped instead of good.

Unlikely: As we age we all get "problems with our hands such as tendonitis and especially arthritis and carpal tunnel and many men and some women get some form of dupuytren's. Its related to life and aging not how you choose to occupy your time. Although hwat you do may exacebate underlying conditions it doesnt cause it.
