"For me masturbation is like a sports exercise.
I even dress in sportswear for it.
The more I do it, the better I feel."

Your Masturbation Questions
On this page we answer some of the questions our readers send us.
If you have a question simply email us and we may have an answer for you.
Health
Is masturbation healthy?
Yes.
Masturbating is normal and essential for your sexual health.
It releases stale body fluids and promotes good blood circulation.
Therefore, it should be part of your personal health and fitness care.
When is the best time?
Your sex hormone (testostrone) levels are highest around sunrise and sunset.
This would be a good time to get busy.
In the morning it will wake you up and get your circulation going.
In the evening it will make you sleepy.
What are Blue Balls?
Prolonged sexual arousal in men without an ejaculation can cause pain due to blood congestion in the genital area.
"Blue balls," which is properly called vasocongestion,
is a discomfort in the male pelvic area caused by sexual arousal going unrelieved by ejaculation.
The cure is to ejaculate if you have been sexually aroused for a while.
Your body doesn't care whether you ejaculate through vaginal intercourse,
manual intercourse (i.e., your partner's hands), or masturbation.
If not relieved by ejaculation, the congestion will go away within a few hours.
It is quite unethical to use "blue balls" to pressure your partner into intercourse.

Masturbation in the shower is a great way to start your day.

Feel the Urge
I'm horny most of the time.
Students at my college say I should masturbate before I do my homework
so I can concentrate better. Will that help?
Yes, follow their advice.
A high sex drive can really interfere with your homework.
After relieving sexual tension you will have a few peaceful hours to really focus on your homework.
When you're done with homework you may have another go.
Reader Reply:
It worked!
Every day before and after college I have a go in the bath or shower and feel refreshed.
Now I can concentrate on my homework and my grades have improved.
Thank you.
Frequency
How often should I masturbate?
We recommend you do it once or twice daily if you have the time and feel the urge.
Between 6 and 8 in the morning and in the evening is the best time, when your sex hormone levels are the highest.
See the questions below.
I've heard about some people masturbating seven times a day.
I can't even have a third orgasm in one day.
How do they do it?
Can I learn it too?
If two times a day weren't enough for you, you'd be able to masturbate more!
If you're satisfied with two sessions, there may be no real point in doing it more.
Everybody's different, and just because some people masturbate more often than you do
doesn't mean you're not perfectly healthy and normal.
I masturbate about seven times a day, which is a lot.
Is there a way to bring down my horniness?
For centuries adults have tried to use sports and other activities to reduce the sex drive in teenage boys.
Nothing seems to work except masturbation, but it is only a temporary a solution.

Good Practice
Why do guys relieve stress by masturbating?
Because it's fun, free and effective.
Masturbation is one of the most effective ways to relieve stress.
It releases relaxing hormones that lead to a state of wellbeing.
Why do men masturbate more than women?
Masturbation is universal among men past puberty, while only three quarters of women have done so by their 18th birthday.
The reasons why men masturbate are:
- To enjoy it,
- To release built-up sexual fluids, and
- To keep their sperm in good condition for fertilization.
These last two reasons amount to a biological imperative for men to masturbate.
Women don't need to do that.
So it is understandable that more men masturbate and make a regular healthy habit of it.
Does masturbation help with weight loss?
It seems like I get skinnier after masturbating.
Weight loss is caused by burning calories in excess of caloric intake.
Masturbation burns calories like any exercise like swimming, running or cycling, perhaps not as much.
The longer you play the more calories you use, roughly about 500 kcals per half hour.
This is one of the most enjoyable ways to lose weight.
Combine it with a calorie controlled diet and
good nutrition and you'll be a hot stud soon.
What causes that "squishy" sound that comes from my penis when I masturbate?
Let's assume you're not talking about the sound of a lubed-up hand on the penis, but rather the "squishy" sound that sometimes happens even without lube.
Just inside your penis head, the urethra (the tube that carries urine and semen) widens out a bit, forming a little "reservoir."
When you masturbate, that "squishy" sound is air going in and out of the urethra to and from this reservoir.
If you secrete a lot of Cowper's gland fluid ("pre-cum"), you may have noticed that it tends to get a little bubbly when you masturbate;
that, too, is a result of air entering and exiting in this way.

Getting Loaded
I am 18 years old and have masturbated many times.
Now my penis shrinks after I have an orgasm and ejaculate.
I don't mean it only goes limp, it gets much thinner than it was before I masturbated.
Later it goes back to normal, but it takes a few days to fully regain its size. Is this normal?
At your age, as I'm sure you know, hormones are raging through your body.
When you haven't masturbated in a while, this can result in your penis being in some condition of low-grade erection 24 hours a day.
When this happens, your penis isn't necessarily firm or erect but does have some added thickness,
since it contains more blood than at other times.
After you masturbate, your penis may become completely un-erect for a while.
The shape you're seeing is just what your penis is like in a state of non-erection.
Then, as time passes, you begin to develop that base-level erection again.
Don't worry about it.
You're just loaded and ready for more fun.
My most satisfying orgasms are those when I clearly feel the progression
of the semen all the way through my penis and feel each spurt as it shoots out.
Is there a way to make this a part of every ejaculation?
Most guys equate orgasmic pleasure with the quantity of semen ejaculated.
Stimulate yourself for as long as possible before ejaculation, delay your orgasm.
When you're heavily aroused your body secretes more of the fluids that make up an ejaculation, and they tend to build up.
When you finally ejaculate, you'll shoot more semen, and it will feel better.
Also, drinking lots of water an hour or so before each session can help increase the ejaculate volume.
