Is masturbation good for health?

Neither good nor bad: Normal men, women, boys, and girls masturbate (it's universal). It isn't harmful, as the body goes through similar effects during regular sex with a partner (but too much of anything may become a problem). Masturbation does not stunt height, cause hair loss or gray hair, make you weak, create heart problems, lower testosterone, affect virginity, lower fertility, change your weight, or damage eyes.

Yes, assuming...: It helps a young man learn about his mind and body in preparation for being a husband and father, and helps any guy stay physically comfortable and mentally focused. All the stuff about it ruining your health are made up by folks trying to scare you. If you have an obsession with erotica that's interfering with doing stuff you know you should be, your physician can help.

Fact of life: This is an important part of life for all male and most female teens. It lets you learn about your body and mind in preparation for adult life.

Few folks develop obsession with erotica; we can rx this if needed.
