What Are the Hazards and Treatments Associated with Excessive Masturbation?
Masturbation refers to self-pleasuring, which is the act of satisfying sexual urges through one's own abilities. Masturbation fulfills one's sexual needs and is a normal physiological expression. It is commonly known as masturbation, and there are also colloquial terms such as "playing with oneself" or "jerking off," which are typically used to describe masturbation in males. Appropriate masturbation can be beneficial to one's health, but excessive masturbation can harm one's health. What are the harms and treatments of excessive masturbation? Let's take a look.
Excessive masturbation is a psychological and mental disorder that can have negative impacts on one's physical health, leading to various urological and reproductive problems, causing neurasthenia, such as dizziness, weakness in the waist and back, decreased physical strength, inattention, insomnia, loss of appetite, lack of energy, difficulty urinating, and discomfort in the pelvic region. Some patients may also experience erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and decreased sexual desire. It is important for individuals to correctly understand the impact of masturbation on their work, study, and physical health, and to learn and master relevant sexual knowledge to resolve unhealthy masturbation habits. Avoiding tight-fitting clothing, maintaining cleanliness and hygiene of the external genital organs, and actively participating in cultural and sports activities to divert one's attention are recommended.
Masturbation is self-pleasuring, which involves relieving sexual tension and expressing sexual energy through one's own abilities to satisfy sexual desires and derive pleasure and comfort from sexual experiences. Therefore, masturbation is a normal physiological phenomenon that is widely prevalent in humans. It is commonly known as masturbation, and colloquial terms like "playing with oneself" or "jerking off" are also used, especially when referring to males. However, the term "masturbation" is widely used but inappropriate because the word "masturbation" has a negative connotation in Chinese when referring to a sexual behavior. Therefore, it is recommended to eliminate the use of the term "masturbation" and instead use the scientific term "self-pleasuring".
Both men and women of all ages can engage in self-pleasuring, and the reasons for this behavior vary. In childhood, self-pleasuring often occurs unintentionally through accidental play with the genitals or due to the stimulating sensation caused by friction during activities like wearing tight pants or riding. Generally, there is no sexual climax involved. As individuals reach puberty, physiological changes occur in the body, leading to sexual urges and desires, along with a sense of curiosity and fantasizing about sex. Normal sexual desires are a fundamental requirement for human maturity and reproduction, representing a normal physiological phenomenon. However, from sexual maturity to the legal ability to express sexual energy and fulfill sexual needs (through marriage), there is often a significant period of time, during which sexual desires are at their highest. Individuals may seek opportunities to relieve their sexual tension, occasionally stimulating their genitals and reaching a climax, potentially leading to the habit of self-pleasuring. In some cases, individuals may learn self-pleasuring through the guidance or assistance of others.
