Millions of Americans are diagnosed with cancer. But what exactly is cancer and how does it affect the body?...

Q: Masturbation: does it cause blindness or cancer?

asked by: DoctorQuestion on December 6th, 2006

I have been masturbating for sometime now and I get Nausea , BLURRY VISION , dizziness as well. I want to recover and get my old vision back and be back normal again with my sight and everything. I heard when u masturbate u lose some kind of chemicals that involve with your eyes and your brain ....

So really my questions are :

How CAN I get back to my old self with no blurry vision and fully recover?

Do i just stop masturbating to gain these chemicals back ?

And the most importantest of them all.. can you be BLINDED or cancer from masturbating?

Masturbation doesn’t cause neither blindness nor cancer. Stories about losing chemicals while masturbating are completely wrong. If you have some problems with your vision, however, you may consult an ophthalmologist and not attribute the symptom to masturbation.
