How Much Masturbation is Too Much?
Most men have heard the myth that too much masturbation causes hairy palms, or even blindness, which would certainly be worrisome if that were true. Luckily, that statement holds no truth to it. Still, the idea of too much masturbation does leave many men wondering if they are doing physical harm to themselves or their relationship.
Penis Side Effects
While no major physical repercussions will likely happen from too much masturbation, it is possible to cause a minor injury during self-love. An excessively physical or rough hand job can damage the skin to the area, particularly if there is a lack of lubrication during the self-play. Too much force can cause bruising, chafing, redness, sore penis skin, and even tissue damage in some cases. And, ready for the most cringe-worthy part? A penis can be “broken.” Though technically not a break, as there is no bone in the penis tissue, an erect penis can be damaged by a blunt force in such a way that the inner tissues rupture. This injury can be extremely painful in itself, and once healed, the scar tissue remains may cause a shortening of the shaft on that side, which can ultimately lead to a curvature of the penis.
Relationship Side Effects
In most mature, adult relationships, masturbation is not going to cause a problem. It is perfectly healthy for men to enjoy some alone time. However, in cases where a man is engaging in what his partner considers to be too much masturbation, he may feel rejected, unsexy or even come to believe that he is not good enough in bed for his partner.
If a man is repeatedly choosing masturbation instead of sexual relations with a willing partner, it may be time for him to face some hard questions. For example, he may ask himself some of the following: Is masturbation interfering with normal life? Is there some fear of sexual intimacy with a partner? Is there material being used that is offensive to the partner such as pornography? Are there issues of shame associated with sexual behavior? If any of these questions are hitting home, it may be time to speak with a therapist about these problems.
Caring For The Penis
Regardless of how much self-love a man engages in, it is important to keep the penis healthy enough for any and all sexual activity. Certain vitamins and minerals are particularly useful in keeping the penis vital and youthful, and can even heal damaged skin and blood vessels.
– Shea butter is a natural moisturizer that helps keep the skin supple and smooth in all conditions.
– Acetyl L Carnitine is neuroprotective and can help heal and protect the penis from sexual injuries – no matter how they occur.
– L-Arginine keeps the blood vessels in the penis healthy allowing for maximum blood flow and a firm erection.
