@@rk7750 @nze69 don't listen to him. it is not normal to do 3x a day, this is what the people in power want, it will decrease testosterone and make you feel horrible. give it a 2 week retention, promise it will be worth it.
As long as there is no pain. You'll know when there is dull throbbing from within & sometimes even blood mixed with semen but none when you pee. If this happens should try stopping for a few days, then maybe try once or twice a week. Visit a doctor if there is still blood past a week or 2.
Thank you so much for all that information. Society spreads those false myths and sometimes could hurt relations, self~steem and promote controversial beliefs
On the theme of "nobody would admit to. I was a sacristan one in a Catholic Church. We have a pamphlet rack at the back of the church with little books on devotions and instructions. I had to do the topping up of these. One that hardly ever needed topping up was a publication with the title “how to avoid the most common sin of impurity”. Nobody wanted to be seen taking that one.
It's my earliest childhood memory. Younger brother and I shared a bed. Every night he told me to stop shaking the bed. Now, at 80+. with an uninterested spouse, I'm still going strong.
Far as I'm concerned, masturbation is a beautiful gift from God---the power of sexuality is one of the greatest things he gave us. It's not something to shun or be ashamed of.
@@davidl570btw. Why are there teachings about why jerking off is bad. And semen retention is the healthy way to go? Theres spiritual teachings about it. I mean not gonna lie. Being on semen retention for months actually made me feel good and healthy/strong compared to if your releasing often. You can feel the difference.
Life is short Do not waste your time masturbating Learn, for example, how to control yourself. Does your self control you or not? Try to be better before you die
Yep, (for those who believe in God like me), I think it's one of the best gifts he gave us! He knew what he was doing when he created the male body and gave us the gift of sexuality and orgasm. The penis and scrotum are beautiful works of art and shouldn't be shunned or considered gross or cringy, far as I'm concerned.
The last item was the most important, I think. Masturbation might lower the risc of prostate cancer. It is so important that I think it should initiate big research efforts, since since there are so many deaths from it.
I'm 75 and I've slowed down recently. I do it only once a day now. There was the time I needed it more. Thank God, that's not the case now. I just don't have the energy as I've lost 90 percent of my lungs. But the one time per day is plenty.
Good professional advice, I always remember Woody Allens one liner in one of his movies when asked about this topic - 'At least I am doing it with someone I love'
When I was 10 or 11, I was camping in a camper with my Dad and older Brother. I was in my own bunk bed - going to town on my new found mission and my Dad yelled across the dark camper - "What are you doing over there?!?! I wasn't embarrassed, I was just a kid, I didn't think it was wrong, I just knew it felt good. But I stopped and only did it when I was alone after that. I'm sure he knew what I was doing. Maybe knew. HOWEVER - it was NEVER mentioned again. Thank GOD!

I wish I had known that it could prevent prostate cancer as I would’ve done it much more frequently. Bottom line, I got it, had radiation and my orgasms were destroyed. Makes me feel like my manhood was taken from me. But I guess I shouldn’t complain as I am alive.

Re: Myth # 5 - In my late 20’s I was diagnosed with OCD. I was also sent to a therapist who was very sex negative. As someone who identified male at the time and was, well, in my late 20’s, I easily masturbated 5x a week. Not long sessions, just 7-15 minutes, then get on with my day. But my therapist insisted doing it more than monthly was a sign of sex addiction especially in someone with OCD and insisted I go to 12 step program for that. It really messed me up around sex and intimacy for a long time. There are some really sick therapists out there.

Sir ,growing up in India as a 14 years old , I used to have wet dreams . That is having a discharge in the bed because of sexual dreams . Every where there were Quacks or Rogue Doctors preying upon the teenagers as well as the grown ups or even the married men who didn't have the real sexual knowledge in those days . Quacks , would have put posters and other literature claiming it to be a serious disease . They would claim that 80 drops of blood go to make one drop semen . They would simply catch the minds of the Young as well as the adults equally . I and my friends suffered silently not knowing any better . Then one of my friends brought a book by the Sychologist doctor M S RAO from Jaipur , India . In this book Dr . Rao explained with pictures of the prostate gland and also how the semen is formed in the body at the time of ejaculation . He showed that it is natural and necessary for the person to masterbate , if he is not married or single . That was how me and my other friends were cured of this myth . Sir , your this Video is very important and valuable . I applaud you for bringing this information . Thank You and GOD bless you .
Masturbation can only be considered harmful if it interferes with daily life or relationships. Some signs that masturbation may be a problem include: Missing work or important events, Neglecting family or partners, Escaping from responsibilities, and Having trouble reaching orgasm
You have summed this up very well! It is all about individual choice, whether we masturbate or not, & how often, it should be seen as an enjoyable experience, not a chore or something we regret or feel guilty about or that interferes with our daily routine!
Logical practical information. Masturbation has been an avid hobby of mine since I was about 9 or 10. I turned out alright. Thanks for the affirmation,, doctor. :-)
I am single and I do it 2-3 times a week and to be honest it helps me a lot. Otherwise, I cannot sleep, something does not allow me to sleep until I let it out. It must go out, then i can sleep well.
While it is not dangerous on a physical level, masturbation is still best enjoyed responsibly keeping the natural side effects in mind - for example, for me it causes a phase of relaxation and sleepiness afterwards, so it can be detrimental when I need to be alert and active afterwards. There is also an element of mental hygene - e.g. the images and imaginations one nutures during masturbation can freely drift in all kinds of directions when they are discoupled from a partner like that, this can ultimately lead to a kind of social dysfunction if not minded out and kept in check. But you can also actively shape your life using masturbation fantasies as a technique. You should try it sometime.
I'm a psychologist /college counsellor who has dealt with a couple of thousand yougsters with their normal problems. I think your reservations are by no means universally true.
I don't know if you post answers or comments to those who post comments. I'm almost 75 and I live alone. For me masturbation is a welcome way of release. I make it something very enjoyable and my "happy ending" is beyond belief. I also use Testosterone gel 1.62, 2 pumps after I shower each day. I often will skip a day or so but generally at least 3 times a week. I enjoy your videos. On occasion I have the good fortune to have a playmate and I always have a great time. I generally do something about 3 or 4 times weekly.
I would never limit my little friend. He's the one who through tough times kept me going and relatively happy whenever I had a dry spell. He knows when its needed and I happily oblige. He makes me feel happy and my friend likes the way I play with him. And so does my other little friend back there. Her warmth, depth and sensitivity are without equal. They often get together and deliver some of the highest sexual thrills of my lifetime. Why would I deny myself pleasure of that magnitude ?
I remembered a myth you didn’t cover: When I was hanging out with a bunch of guys in my high school, one of us stated that masturbation causes tiny hairs to grow on the palms of your hands. He laughed and pointed his finger at all the guys who turned their palms over to inspect and see if this was true!
Surprised he didn't cover that myth in this video, considering that he mentioned the stupid "blind" myth! (Can't believe he even had to mention that........................LORD!).
I've also heard that there is evidence that frequent ejaculation reduces the risk of prostate cancer. The idea is that it prevents potentially cancer-causing agents to accumulate.
Thank you, Doctor, for an excellent, intelligent and informative video on masturbation. I thoroughly agree with you that masturbation is a healthy act for young boys and men, and women. I wished that you would have made some comments on the myth that masturbation causes acne. Thank you again for your excellent video on masturbation. I hope that a lot of young people...and their parents!...view it.
Thank you so much for the frank discussion. I am amazed at the ignorance of people with respect to this issue. Also a pox on religious institutions that demonize masturbation and things. like homosexuality . I am a 71 y/o man in a 45 year homosexual relationship/marriage (my first and only) who still enjoys masturbating (albeit not as often as I did when I was younger). Thanks again
I think you will find that most religions do not approve of "spilling the seed" voluntarily. For Catholics and Orthodox Christians it is a mortal sin that will send you to hell. The Jewish faith do not approve of it and one young Hasidic Jew I read of was expelled from his community for confessing that he had masturbated. It is prohibited in Islam.
I totally agree but I’d add the aspect of p*rn. Cuz I don’t think the way the act is illustrated is healthy and that it can interfere with real life experiences and even Lower your self esteem
Yay! Thanks for sharing this topic on masturbation! 👍👍✌✌😸😸😛😛With me, I look at the positive side of masturbation is always HEALTHY as long as it doesn't get in the way of my life like you mentioned. Kudos to you, Dr. Eric! 😛😛😸😸👍👍✌✌🌈🌈
Twice a day seems perfect. I have been on the road for 10 years, so it's something i do often. 43 and never no issues. Both morning and night, i have good loads. Morning being more volume and power. Nights are good, but nothing like mornings. Dont plan on changing habit 😊
sounds about right to me. especially when you eat a lot of celery and pineapple and drink lots of water they'll be even better . . . Oh . . . and no smoking
I a long term arraign masturbation is common as a sexual relief when no partner sex is allowed -shit happens when one partners sex drive doesn’t match the other ---online porn is the refuge for the partner with a higher sex drive -no shame in that !
A long time ago, I was 35 years old (now I am 60 years old), a psychologist (a young LADY!) ask me if I masturbate myself. Because I find such question very private and personal at that time/moment and also because that psychologist was a young LADY, I ask HER back: "Why do you want THAT to know about me? THAT is private and very personal!".... Then SHE answered: "I understand your privacy about THIS. But when you NOT masturbate yourself, then maybe something is wrong with you and you may NOT being healthy". So THAT was/is a very good and a positive way of HER/a psychologist, I find, to talk about masturbation with me! And therefore I also understand better why such psychologists do ask such question at/to their clients!
I think a lot of not being able to get hard and stay that way has to do with being with someone you’re not that into. I have a feeling most people are with someone who they aren’t that into
nope never again. it really just gives me more stress , for me its not healthy ill distract myself with my other hobbies to avoid it everyday, this will be my reminder everyday to have a clear and better mind and avoid lust
I realize this was a serious video, but if I was filming it, I absolutely would have had the guy wear sunglasses when he got to the myth about masturbation causing blindness.
Great video Doctor! I have a question about using Tamsulosin - after stopping using it I experience retrograde issues - will it ever get back to normal?
Thanks for asking Doctor. Nothing has changed in my condition. I have just had to learn to live with it. I had hoped it would work itself out and return to normal function.
I’m not the doctor. Just a guy who went through the same thing you described. I stopped taking Tamsulosin after about a year. And it’s taken another year to get back to normal. I take pumpkin seed supplements to help prostate health.
I'm in the same boat. Get your blood sugar under control, lose some weight and get your testosterone level checked. I use the gel and it's working. I also inject trimex into my penis. Diabetes sucks!
Responsibility doesn't always come into it - we are each different, with variance in gene expression and PFC control. Some men are sexual beasts with low impulse control.
If u don't do it.. the body Will make u come automatically when u sleep when it come to the Times when ur bucket is soo Full.. but u have the option.. do it 1 time a week and u get happiness or make the body system do it.. u know what i mean right
Reading all these comments from men in their 70s and 80s gives me hope (at 52)......................glad these men are still able to get it up and engage in one of the best activities of all time! Glad it's a myth that just because you're in your golden years means you can no longer do it. Makes me embrace getting older a little more. You only live once--cherish your penis and give it the proper attention!
Im 51 and still enjoying it at least once a day. I must admit, it is good hearing these guys in their 70s and 80s that can still regularly enjoy one of life's simple pleasures. I hope I can continue to enjoy it for decades ahead 😊
A lot of people may use it to ease off, but if someone can hold down not to masturbate, the person develops self-control towards sexual urges, which requires a lot of discipline to do
I'm almost 70 and single. It's what I use in place of a sleeping pill. Still seems to do the job!

While it is not dangerous on a physical level, masturbation is still best enjoyed responsibly keeping the natural side effects in mind - for example, for me it causes a phase of relaxation and sleepiness afterwards, so it can be detrimental when I need to be alert and active afterwards. There is also an element of mental hygene - e.g. the images and imaginations one nutures during masturbation can freely drift in all kinds of directions when they are discoupled from a partner like that, this can ultimately lead to a kind of social dysfunction if not minded out and kept in check. But you can also actively shape your life using masturbation fantasies as a technique. You should try it sometime.
I'm a psychologist /college counsellor who has dealt with a couple of thousand yougsters with their normal problems. I think your reservations are by no means universally true.
my grade 8 teacher said,99% of people do it......the other one per cent lie.
Good teacher! If you have NEVER done it, you're not human.
I touch myself, I have been touching to others, perhaps not the same strokes of life.
How does it make you feel
Just like coffee, it calms you down, and picks you up!
Picks what up?

Living proof the doc is spot on.
I don't know if you post answers or comments to those who post comments. I'm almost 75 and I live alone. For me masturbation is a welcome way of release. I make it something very enjoyable and my "happy ending" is beyond belief. I also use Testosterone gel 1.62, 2 pumps after I shower each day. I often will skip a day or so but generally at least 3 times a week. I enjoy your videos. On occasion I have the good fortune to have a playmate and I always have a great time. I generally do something about 3 or 4 times weekly.
I would never limit my little friend. He's the one who through tough times kept me going and relatively happy whenever I had a dry spell. He knows when its needed and I happily oblige. He makes me feel happy and my friend likes the way I play with him. And so does my other little friend back there. Her warmth, depth and sensitivity are without equal. They often get together and deliver some of the highest sexual thrills of my lifetime. Why would I deny myself pleasure of that magnitude ?
I remembered a myth you didn’t cover: When I was hanging out with a bunch of guys in my high school, one of us stated that masturbation causes tiny hairs to grow on the palms of your hands. He laughed and pointed his finger at all the guys who turned their palms over to inspect and see if this was true!
Now I know why I needed glasses after 12y.o.,ha
What a craziness...and nonsense! 🤦
Surprised he didn't cover that myth in this video, considering that he mentioned the stupid "blind" myth! (Can't believe he even had to mention that........................LORD!).
You nust have been at school in 1900
Thank you so much Dr. Eric!!!!
Too much is when you are finally satisfied, happy and exhausted.
I've also heard that there is evidence that frequent ejaculation reduces the risk of prostate cancer. The idea is that it prevents potentially cancer-causing agents to accumulate.
Thank you for this video
Thank you, Doctor, for an excellent, intelligent and informative video on masturbation. I thoroughly agree with you that masturbation is a healthy act for young boys and men, and women. I wished that you would have made some comments on the myth that masturbation causes acne.
Thank you again for your excellent video on masturbation. I hope that a lot of young people...and their parents!...view it.
Thank you so much for the frank discussion. I am amazed at the ignorance of people with respect to this issue. Also a pox on religious institutions that demonize masturbation and things. like homosexuality . I am a 71 y/o man in a 45 year homosexual relationship/marriage (my first and only) who still enjoys masturbating (albeit not as often as I did when I was younger). Thanks again
I think you will find that most religions do not approve of "spilling the seed" voluntarily.
For Catholics and Orthodox Christians it is a mortal sin that will send you to hell. The Jewish faith do not approve of it and one young Hasidic Jew I read of was expelled from his community for confessing that he had masturbated. It is prohibited in Islam.
I'm 97 y.o. doing it 3x a week. Makes me strong and happy. Just do it. It's your body and no one has the right to tell you what is good or bad.
👍👍
Yaa true I m 100 year old
😁
❤❤, let me see you...pls..
Somebody lying 😂
good stuff Doc - thanks
You smiling ☺️🌈🥰 like keep doing you look gorgeous and happy
One thing that really suprises me is people doing it 4/5 times a day lol.... If I do it twice in a day I'll feel sick after the 2nd time
Even just once I black out and feel extremely tired now 4 to 3 times people are strong
Bro today I masturbated a twice is it fine will it create promblem for me ?@@paulnguni6914
Your hand will never say ‘ not tonyt I have headache’ !!
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Not tonight bcoz Chad gets in the way 🤣🤣🤣
Excellent,very well explained
I totally agree but I’d add the aspect of p*rn. Cuz I don’t think the way the act is illustrated is healthy and that it can interfere with real life experiences and even Lower your self esteem
Hey, a person needs what a person needs.:) especially when with someone who isn’t interested in helping!
Yay! Thanks for sharing this topic on masturbation! 👍👍✌✌😸😸😛😛With me, I look at the positive side of masturbation is always HEALTHY as long as it doesn't get in the way of my life like you mentioned. Kudos to you, Dr. Eric! 😛😛😸😸👍👍✌✌🌈🌈

Good to meet you!
@@theprehistoricpoet Likewise! 🙂👍✌️😺
I have always been told I do it too much but now I can ignore the people on the bus with a clear conscience
Twice a day seems perfect. I have been on the road for 10 years, so it's something i do often. 43 and never no issues. Both morning and night, i have good loads. Morning being more volume and power. Nights are good, but nothing like mornings. Dont plan on changing habit 😊
Hey buddy same here- 63 and a am/pm guy. Been doin it for as long as I can remember. Sometimes more if that urge hits. Keep going strong man!
Never get the opportunity when urge gits. Always at a crazy shipper / receiver. Places are a dam nightmare
@@steveobeav8376 I get u man. U need to find a private place just for you. Good luck buddy 👍🏻
sounds about right to me. especially when you eat a lot of celery and pineapple and drink lots of water they'll be even better . . . Oh . . . and no smoking
I never heard of pineapple & celery. I just stick with water & magnesium & zinc Seems to produce a good mess 2× a day
If it causes you to go blind, can I keep doing it just till I need glasses
I have a white cane on standby in the corner of my bedroom.
I a long term arraign masturbation is common as a sexual relief when no partner sex is allowed -shit happens when one partners sex drive doesn’t match the other ---online porn is the refuge for the partner with a higher sex drive -no shame in that !
Why are you with a partner that doesn’t match your sex drive?
Some people don't like a lot of sex , that happens too.👍😎
@@wolfa5151exactly 😂
This video was very enlightening and informative.
No problem with #3, sometimes 4x a day maybe more, especially if smoking some good herb.

Not sure why this video popped up in my feed, but, hang on I'll be back in 10 minutes
A long time ago, I was 35 years old (now I am 60 years old), a psychologist (a young LADY!) ask me if I masturbate myself.
Because I find such question very private and personal at that time/moment and also because that psychologist was a young LADY, I ask HER back: "Why do you want THAT to know about me? THAT is private and very personal!"....
Then SHE answered: "I understand your privacy about THIS. But when you NOT masturbate yourself, then maybe something is wrong with you and you may NOT being healthy".
So THAT was/is a very good and a positive way of HER/a psychologist, I find, to talk about masturbation with me!
And therefore I also understand better why such psychologists do ask such question at/to their clients!
Is might have been worth you asking her whether she masturbated herself and how often?
Should have asked her if she wanted to watch 🤣
Thanks for your Honesty,doc!!... :)
I’m going blind and growing a pelt of hair on the palm of my right hand. Should I lay off on my daily quickies?
Yeah, I think you’ve been overdoing it 😂😂😂
Sounds like you are doing it correctly.
Jus have fun, do what you want..
But i got the humour ....😊
Nah . . . just get some glasses and change hands
Been getting my groove on solo since I was 11-no unwanted kids and great de-stresser I’m now 58 no harm done😊🎉😮
It's really good to watch your videos
I think a lot of not being able to get hard and stay that way has to do with being with someone you’re not that into. I have a feeling most people are with someone who they aren’t that into
male vs female? how about doing it with your friend?
As long as the friend is male, all okay.
If he agree u can do it...
😆😆
If both people agree why not? Is between them.
Hi buddy!!
THANKS A LOT DOCTOR FOR DISCUSSING THIS TOPIC. GOD BLESS YOU ❤❤❤
nope never again. it really just gives me more stress , for me its not healthy ill distract myself with my other hobbies to avoid it everyday, this will be my reminder everyday to have a clear and better mind and avoid lust
Thank you. 😊 Very useful information.!
I realize this was a serious video, but if I was filming it, I absolutely would have had the guy wear sunglasses when he got to the myth about masturbation causing blindness.
😂
Thanks for the information
Great video Doctor! I have a question about using Tamsulosin - after stopping using it I experience retrograde issues - will it ever get back to normal?
Short answer is Yes,it gets better. It’s been 5 months since you posted this. How’s it going for you?
Thanks for asking Doctor. Nothing has changed in my condition. I have just had to learn to live with it. I had hoped it would work itself out and return to normal function.
I’m not the doctor. Just a guy who went through the same thing you described. I stopped taking Tamsulosin after about a year. And it’s taken another year to get back to normal. I take pumpkin seed supplements to help prostate health.
Thanks for the info !!
I am diabetic and have ED and this is something I sorely miss,and I am 73,soon to be 74
Don't worry,I shall help to overcome ed. Pls le5 me see you dear...loves...
@@matthai67 hi!
I'm in the same boat. Get your blood sugar under control, lose some weight and get your testosterone level checked. I use the gel and it's working. I also inject trimex into my penis. Diabetes sucks!
Absolutely right. Healthy mind and body goes with that pressure. MYTH makes lots of people think IT IS BAD. Healthy Diet , add to your energy.
Im 65 and have been doing it since 11yrs old at least 5 times a week.
Since 7 here. 70 now and hoping I can do it on my death bed. Still doing it a few times a week.
5 times a week is awesome at 65! Glad your libido is still going strong.
I’m right there age & quantity wise with yuh& am a much nicer person 4 it so BFD whomever judges this
5 times a week.that a LIE dont you go to eork every morning
@@augustinetwumasi5031 I don't lie cupcake and I just got don doing it
Thanks for this video, well done and all true!👍🏻😊
It’s irresponsible not to address porn addiction associated with compulsive masturbation.
Responsibility doesn't always come into it - we are each different, with variance in gene expression and PFC control.
Some men are sexual beasts with low impulse control.
Are you qualified to make this generalisation? Please quote research findings.
If u don't do it.. the body Will make u come automatically when u sleep when it come to the Times when ur bucket is soo Full.. but u have the option.. do it 1 time a week and u get happiness or make the body system do it.. u know what i mean right
Great that this physician dispels a lot of misinformation or "untruths" about a natural & healthy function for both men & women.
Great …. Thank you doc, I did sent your video to many of my friends 😊
Doing it right now.
Can never be too much. It stops development of prostate cancer.

Don’t understand why, but it helps me get to sleep when I have insomnia. It’s far more effective (and pleasurable) than a Tylenol PM. 🤷🏻♂️
It's cause it makes you release endorphines which make you relax and feel sleepy
Reading all these comments from men in their 70s and 80s gives me hope (at 52)......................glad these men are still able to get it up and engage in one of the best activities of all time! Glad it's a myth that just because you're in your golden years means you can no longer do it. Makes me embrace getting older a little more. You only live once--cherish your penis and give it the proper attention!
Indeed so too. As long as it feels nice too.
Im 51 and still enjoying it at least once a day.
I must admit, it is good hearing these guys in their 70s and 80s that can still regularly enjoy one of life's simple pleasures.
I hope I can continue to enjoy it for decades ahead 😊
Now I learnt lots of things... thank you for sharing us❤
What can you say about semen retention with regards to masturbation?
This teaching is killer
A lot of people may use it to ease off, but if someone can hold down not to masturbate, the person develops self-control towards sexual urges, which requires a lot of discipline to do
