if it is harmful im dying an early early death thats for sure *nods* but nah its not harmful at all from a medical standpoint not unless youre doing it so hard youre causing muscle damage or smth.
Things you should NEVER masturbate with:
Head and Shoulders Shampoo (It's like mace on your dick!)
Tube Sock (Rug burn is a *****)
Saliva (Chapped dick)
Balloon with body wash for lube (More constricting than a python)
Dial Soap (BURNS!!!!!)
I've made my fair share of mistakes. Don't let them happen to you....

It's not harmful in any traditionally understood way, although some techniques can do damage if practiced regularly and too vigorously like you could damage any other part of the body.
The issue with masterbation is that a lot of people get into a sort of psychological haze with what they think about to help get themselves off, it rarely stays at the level of totally vanilla sex as time goes on. This can lead to issues with reality coming to seem disappointing compared to the visions someone creates for themselves.
This is not ALWAYS a problem, but you might notice in a lot of stuff they deal with some really gross/extreme stuff people wind up needing to "get themselves off", that's all based on this trend. "What do you think about when you jerk off" is not usually a question someone is going to answer honestly, but from cases where people have answered honestly, especially people who have developed problems, there can be a connection.
This is also where the old diagnosis about masterbation causing insanity also comes from, and also doubtlessly why many religions put a ban on it as a form of social engineering.
It's one of those things where it's normal, healthy, and probably a needed form of release for a lot of people. However like anything when taken to excess it can be bad. What's more I think certain psychological problems can probably be made worst by masturbation and in some cases people with specific tendencies that they could otherwise surpress might become increasingly sociopathic a micro-inch at a time based on what starts to go on in their head during such moments... of course that's not something you can detect or regulate.
That's my thoughts on the subject at any rate. There is a LOT of stuff written on the subject, some of it quite bizzare. If you ever wind up taking Criminal Justice and wind up attending psychology, abnormal psychology, and classes that involve criminal psych, you can get some greatly contridictory information on this because differant doctors have associated masturbation with differant behaviors. Interestingly studies of guys like seriel killers have shown an increasing level of disturbance in their choice of spank material, like when they go through their houses, track their buying habits, and similar things for the purpose of making profiles they will figure out what they bought for porn and did to get themselves off and how it might have started out normal with the old playboys and maybe baby oil, and then wound up with pedophille beastiality movies and sandpaper or whatever. The whole degenerative masturbation thing based on what they just keep envisioning... a lot of that came from doing interviews with these guys along side normal people and of coures those who are somewhere in between. Can masturbation make one sociopathic, or do those tendencies have to be present to begin with? Can it vary with the individual? It's a debatable topic and differant people have differant beliefs.
Here's the thing: Masturbation is (primarily) a replacement for sex. Sex makes babies, makes and breaks relationships, and generally keep the wheels of human society greased (eww).
Sex generates a lot of money, and it makes a lot of money too (most of it indirectly through babies, dates, flowers, gifts, exotic travel etc.)
Meanwhile, masturbation is generally free and doesn't generate or cost any money. You can support the porn industry if you want, but you don't have to, and free porn is readily available in large amounts if you need it.
To put it bluntly, masturbation puts a dent in the whole human reproduction, spending and money-making system. And that's (in my opinion) the main reason that you still hear lame-ass arguments about how masturbation can be dangerous and harmful.
Since humans can get addicted to pretty much anything they can get their grubby little paws on, that obviously goes for masturbation as well. But it's not the worst thing to be addicted to, by far. As mentioned, it's basically free if you want it to be.
Also, simultaneous orgasm is harder to achieve than most people might think. It requires both discipline, teamwork and experience from both people.

Can't say I've ever had that problem. In fact, I'd dare say masturbation has made me a better sex partner, because I know exactly where the "point of no return" is and what it feels like.NameIsRobertPaulson said:

Allow me to clarify some specifics:
~ As with all things masturbate responsibly. Masturbating in public can get you arrested. Autoerotic asphyxiation can get you killed. Masturbating until you are raw, or to the neglect of your other needs can cause problems. Masturbation to excess may also be indicative of other issues, such as depression, or an anxiety disorder, so check with a doc if you're worried.
~ Different people need to masturbate different amounts of time, and it's not as easy as x times a day or y times a week both men and women go through cycles during which their libidos ebb and flow (and with women it is to some degree related to their cycle). One's drive can also be affected by age, health, physical activity, stress, major emotional events (new love affairs, break-ups, deaths in the family, etc), weather and clime, income, diet, and so on.
~ Generally, a regular regimen sexual activity of any kind, including masturbation, is generally considered healthful by most medical communities. Less so by Abrahamic churches, who are all hung-up about sex anyway.
~ Masturbation is not a complete replacement for sex with a partner or vice versa. Just because your partner masturbates doesn't mean you're inadequate (or vice versa). Just because you fantasize about people other than your partner when you masturbate (or people you really shouldn't or wouldn't have sex with in real life) doesn't mean you're somehow perverse or sexually dysfunctional.
~ Even Osama Bin Laden, regarded as a holy man by his followers, had a porn stash.

Actually, masturbating can relieve cramping and other assorted female pains--there's even some evidence that it can somewhat alleviate endometriosis symptoms.ROBOTwithHUMANhair said:
A good workout is good for the ladyparts also.
As long as you don't do it often enough to literally peel your skin off, then there's pretty much no problem. As for psychological, there need to be some real deep issues already there before masturbation itself can be a problem.
So yeah... have fun.
As for personal frequency... I'd say I average out at more than once per day. Some days multiple times, some days not at all. Most often though at least once.

How you interact with the sexe of your sexual desire [hey not everybody is hetero remember that] is not influenced about you giving yourself some pleasure. Not to mention lets be fair here how can you know what feels good if you don't try out. Did you know that little babies already move their hands in that area...CODE-D said:
In short we are programmed to seek sexual gratification. That included doing it to ourself.
There is no "to much" or "to little" as such depends on a personal desire levels and experience. Young ones between 12 and 25 are doing it the most. Those young dogs then it slows again and you go for quality instead of quantity
Time Waster? Ever heared of Blue Balls, letting go of seed is a good healthy thing to do. And psychological it is healthy to.
Well it is like anything when you have to do it 20 times a day including on the train, in public etc.. you gone to far. Hell even if you do it 5 times a day if you do it in the privacy why not?
Good question personally I go for quality over quantity. Of course one of the biggest sex organs forgotten is the brain so nothing is as nice as working out a very nice scene in your head. A quicky [less preparation] will give you the stress release and the release overal. But a good prepared one is an experience. And there are some ways to delay the inevitable. Remember mind over matter and the mind is the biggest sex organ.. with training you can do wonders.
Only if you use sandpaper without lubricant.
And if you're some kind of conspiracy theorist nutter who thinks everyone knows when you fapped
