For a healthy and normal male, they will have physiological needs, and some men may not be able to engage in sexual activity to satisfy these needs due to the lack of a partner or other reasons. In such cases, most will resort to masturbation to help themselves. However, in daily life, some men may masturbate quite frequently without realizing that excessive masturbation can also lead to harm.
How often is it normal for a man to masturbate?
Generally speaking, for a healthy and normal male, masturbating about twice a week is sufficient, and each session lasting between 15 to 30 minutes is considered normal.
Is masturbation harmful to men?
To be precise, if a man masturbates appropriately each week, it is not harmful to the body. However, excessive masturbation can bring the following harms to the body.
1、Prone to cause prostate diseases
If a man frequently masturbates in daily life, it can easily lead to the prostate being in a state of congestion for a long time. Long-term congestion of the prostate can lead to inflammation, thereby causing prostatitis and a series of other prostate diseases.
3、Can make the penis less sensitive
Frequent masturbation can lead to premature ejaculation during sexual intercourse due to the penis being less sensitive. This is because men often use more stimulating methods to stimulate the penis during masturbation, which can make the penis less responsive to the stimulation from a female partner during actual intercourse, leading to erectile dysfunction.
4、Can affect mental health
Most men are afraid of being caught while masturbating, so they usually do it in private. In such situations, they are often in a state of high tension, which can easily affect their mental health.
5、Can decrease the quality of sperm
Excessive masturbation can lead to frequent ejaculation. Since the production of sperm takes a certain amount of time, if the intervals between ejaculations are too short, the quality of the sperm produced can decrease. This can reduce the female partner's ability to conceive when trying to get pregnant, thereby affecting the man's fertility. This is especially important for men who are trying to conceive, as they should avoid excessive masturbation during this period.
In summary, appropriate masturbation can have certain benefits for a man's body and mind, but it is important to keep it within normal limits each week to avoid the harms caused by excessive masturbation. Additionally, it is important to maintain hygiene after each session by cleaning the penis to prevent bacterial infections that could lead to inflammation.
