Many people think that seminal emission and masturbation (masturbation), both of which are also not due to sexual intercourse, should be classified as one. But in fact, although spermatorrhea and masturbation have something in common, there are still major differences in their manifestations and psychological effects.
Let’s start with the differences between the two, mainly the following three points.
1, different forms of expression: spermatorium is the phenomenon of natural overflow of sperm without sexual activity, without masturbation, without sexual stimulation, is a non-active behavior; and masturbation is the phenomenon of sexual stimulation to obtain sexual pleasure, and eventually reach orgasm ejaculation, is an active behavior.
2, frequency, number of different: Generally speaking, healthy adult men, in the absence of sex or masturbation 1 to 2 times a month seminal emission, occasionally the number of times will increase or decrease, and is not controllable; masturbation frequency and number of times, completely controlled by myself, can be more or less.
3, the psychological state is different: ejaculation is an unconscious act of ejaculation, there is no sexual pleasure, and will not feel orgasm; while masturbation is the active act of ejaculation, is the act of getting pleasure.
After saying the differences, let’s talk about the similarities next, mainly the following 4 points.
1, fundamentally the same: fundamentally, there is no difference between the two, both end up going through the same reflex arc – the ejaculatory drive reflex to complete.
2, the same objective attitude: occasional seminal emission and moderate masturbation are harmless to health, neither is a sinful act, and should be viewed objectively. The regular discharge of sperm will not only not affect your health, but will be beneficial in maintaining your sexual health and sperm metabolism.
3, the same precautions: whether masturbation or seminal emission, should pay attention to maintain good hygiene habits, timely cleaning, pay attention to the cleanliness of the private parts. In addition, you should also adhere to a regular daily routine and channel the psychological pressure caused by misunderstandings about ejaculation.
4, frequent ejaculation and masturbation can also hurt: frequent ejaculation, or even frequency more than 2 times a week, is pathological ejaculation, often because of prostatitis, vesiculitis and certain chronic diseases; and frequent masturbation can lead to impotence, premature ejaculation, frequent ejaculation, abnormal mental state, etc.. Both too frequent should seek medical attention as soon as possible.
