how much masturbation is too much??

I do not quite understand the meaning of that sentence.

Do you imply that before the Internet age - you know, in the preceding millennia - people did not tend to reinforce their own beliefs?.. If that is so, how come the belief that the Earth is flat was so popular?

Oh I'm sorry, I thought we were done with the conversation. In fact the OP has yet to even reply. What was it you said about starting a new topic? Yeah, rekindling the fire is just a tad bit unnecessary, especially when we are in no need of persuading about the ill-effects of masturbation.

Masturbation is great. It's fun and its a stress reliever. And enjoyable obviously. Totally agree if its not affecting you daily life what's the issue. Should we not go to the bathroom to hold in out previous waste?

When you start getting spasms or cramps in your penis then its too much That's what the Dr character said on a sitcom anyway

Alright, respectfully, it's time to nip this in the bud, one way or the other. The debate, much as I love them, isn't helping the OP.

Ultrarapid, you're entitled to your beliefs, but understand you are going well against the grain of commonly accepted medical thought, which in cases like this is typically the given standard for community responses. While I will grant that medicine is a constantly evolving science and thus continually discovering new things, it would be pertinent to cite your evidence, particularly if it goes against what we consider to be relatively commonly established. Thus far, your only citations are in your second post, one of which isn't regarding the topic at hand and the other, while relevant, lacks citations as well (and poorly spell checked, but that's my own pet peeve). As of now, if I Google "UCCPS disease," which I just did, your post is the first search result on Google. The closest I have found for any ill effects either neglect to cite their "studies" whatsoever or preface their findings with all sorts of nifty caveats (masturbating too roughly, "the connection is hazy," etc). All other points are common sense things that should be taken as standard (IE too much too hard will irritate the skin, which should be obvious). I will link to the article I am quoting at the bottom of this post.

Furthermore, given that we do mostly subscribe to "good old Western medicine," your introductory post calling us all "sheeples" isn't precisely conducive to civil discourse.

Speaking here to include myself, the "debate" quit being productive about a page and a half ago, and has generally devolved into a thinly masked value judgment, which are impossible to win one way or the other. Again speaking to include me, it would best serve the OP to have the "debate" excluded. There's enough information provided already to make an informed decision.

Harley, you are going to make a great lawyer. I'm all warm and fuzzy with knowledge and persuasion.

He will be great both in conventional law practice and in the more modern alternative dispute resolution setting, as a mediator

Thank you both. That means a lot, truly.

Mediation...I had never considered that. I hadn't quite pinned down in what precise field I want to practice in. That's worth considering.

speaking specifically from my own experience when a psychiatrist tells you that the amount and frequency of your masturbation is specifically self harm you can take that to be too much. (yes I was told this by said professional)
