Recently, we have received many young patients with premature ejaculation in our urology clinic. Many of them will say that I have masturbated in the past and even have the habit of masturbating too often. They all have incorrect psychological barriers to masturbation. Some are overly self-critical, some have a sense of inner crime, or even fear, and overly worried about future marriage, children and career. Especially a part of the psychological state is unstable and allergic, more likely to cause guilt and condemnation in the psyche. This causes a vicious cycle that produces a variety of different psychosexual abnormalities, resulting in premature ejaculation, weak erection, impotence, non-ejaculation and other male diseases. So I want to talk a little bit about the pros and cons of masturbation and how to treat it. The first thing we have to say is what is masturbation: the phenomenon of playing with the external genitals with your hands or other stimuli to satisfy your sexual needs is called masturbation. Masturbation is very common and is a way to release sexual energy during adolescence as a way to relieve sexual tension. Proper masturbation allows sexual energy to be released and sexual tension to be relieved. Generally speaking, occasional masturbation or masturbation 1-2 times a month for unmarried youth will not bring adverse health effects. There is no need to blame yourself and fear. Now let’s talk about some of the benefits of masturbation, that is, what are the benefits; 1, to promote normal penis development, enlargement and treatment of penis short, especially congenital penile dysplasia, testicular penis short, through targeted and effective stimulation methods under the guidance of physicians, to promote penis development to enlarge the penis has a certain role. 2, an important means of treatment of premature ejaculation, impotence. Foreign countries have long used the penis squeezing method of heterosexual objects to treat premature ejaculation. It is reported that if men and women cooperate well, its success rate is more than 90%. Among the mental concentration therapy for treating impotence, one of the stages also uses mutual massage of the external genitalia, and in China there is also the use of iron crotch gong to improve sexual performance and treat impotence and premature ejaculation. Although masturbation can release sexual energy and has a certain therapeutic effect, but things are always divided into two, there are both advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantages are as follows: Excessive masturbation causes adverse effects on the body and mind. 1, the heart: due to the lack of medical understanding of the nature of masturbation, and the traditional bad influence, the sperm discharge is too serious. The sperm and blood are of the same origin, and the loss of sperm means loss of blood. The essence is the three treasures of man, the essence is its first, excessive loss of essence will seriously affect health. Therefore, self-blame, remorse, fear, sense of crime, all day long, and do not dare to tell their relatives and friends, causing liver depression, heart deficiency, resulting in a vicious circle. It is this recurring contradictory psychological state that leads to psychological damage and a variety of different psychological abnormalities. The partial side believes that masturbation is an abnormal sexual behavior, often blaming themselves, determined to correct, but once the sexual spontaneous impulse, and can not control and committed again, the psychological correction and frustration, so the vicious circle, leading to psychological damage, resulting in a variety of different psychosexual abnormalities, over time, will produce penile erectile dysfunction. 2, body: excessive masturbation can lead to central nervous and functional disorders, systemic symptoms (sexual neurasthenia), such as depression, memory loss, insomnia, dreaminess, dizziness, headache, panic, etc. Excessive masturbation can cause abnormal sexual excitement, frequent sexual impulses and ejaculation, which can lead to spermatorrhea, premature ejaculation, prostatitis, vesiculitis, urethritis and other diseases. At the same time, due to the different intensity of masturbation stimulation, can produce two different situations, one is due to the poor masturbation environment, often hope to stimulate the penis after the speed of ejaculation, long-term down to cause the habit of rapid ejaculation, once married intercourse can cause premature ejaculation, the other is masturbation stimulation is too strong stimulation of the penis, resulting in ejaculation stimulation is relatively strong, in the later sex, the stimulation of the head of the penis does not reach the masturbation of The intensity of stimulation, not reaching the threshold of ejaculation, thus producing non-ejaculation; then there is long-term frequent masturbation, will make the erection center and ejaculation center overexcited and fatigue, over time, will make these two centers from excitement to inhibition, which leads to erectile insecurity or erectile dysfunction. In summary, I believe that masturbation has its pros and cons. Please be assured that masturbation once every 10 days or so will not cause adverse physical and mental consequences. The semen composition is not as serious as it used to be in the ancient books, more than 30% of its semen is prostatic fluid, and the main components of which are protein, sugar and some electrolytes and trace elements, will not cause damage to the body, so teenagers who have suffered from masturbation should not blame themselves and should not be overly concerned. As a way to release normal sexual energy, it will not affect future marital life. But to emphasize that excessive masturbation will have an impact on both body and mind, I hope to treat it correctly, less exposure to books and images about sex and pornography, more cheerfulness, more study, more physical exercise, more self-control exercise of the will, from the whirlpool of too frequent masturbation. “Your own health is in your own hands”, to lay a good foundation for a successful sex life in the future.
