What Is Masturbation?
Posted: 03-15-07 07:16am

Many people have asked: What does masturbation harm your body? I'm not sure, what is masterbation actually, and what does it do to harm your body? Does it cause death?

Masturbation is a little bit like sex, but with yourself instead of another person. It's when you give yourself an orgasm, usually from touching the genitals.

Masturbation is not harmful, in fact, it is good for you. When women orgasm their bodies release hormones that make them feel good and reduce pain. Studies suggest that when males orgasm often in their teens and twenties, it may lower their chances of getting prostate cancer later in life.

There are no negative effects of masturbation provided you don't do anything too crazy, masturbate with sharp objects, or overdo it and make yourself a bit sore. All of that stuff is pretty easily avoidable, however. So feel free to masturbate. Most people do.

I was on a site and someone said that his kid was masturbating. His kid is 6 years old. How old do people masturbate?

Masterbation is as follows

Masturbation refers to sexual stimulation, especially of one's own genitals and often to the point of orgasm, which is performed manually, by other types of bodily contact (except for sexual intercourse), by use of objects or tools, or by some combination of these methods. Masturbation is the most common form of autoeroticism, and the two words are often used as synonyms, although masturbation with a partner (mutual masturbation) is also common.

However old they want. Some people start around 5 or so, others don't do it at all until their teens.
