Minimal research: Because of a variety of cultural taboos, it is hard to get reliable information on the practice.It appears to be universal, for at least part of the life of both genders.When it does not interfere with the normal development of peer interaction, there is no harm done.It does not interfere with physical growth or development.

MASTURBATION (M): Myths: m make blind, crazy, stupid; damage sex organs, stunts growth etc. Pros: m is not emotionally or physically harmful. Fact: has some physical, mental health benefits; releases stress, tension, many do it to relax, helps sleep. Orgasm can act as natural pain killer. Frequent ejaculation from m may reduce chances of prostate ca. No worry of pregnancy or infection. More than one/d is also ok.
