Do you believe that masturbating is a healthy thing and do you think that a majority or minority of people masturbate?

A bit of an inappropriate topic LOL

Well it in the serious debates section. It not out of personal interest or anything its for my sisters thesis.

it is but u could say that my one i made a while back is.

i dont no i think it probly 70/40 of people who do it.

1) Scientifically, yes it is healthy, although if you don't it doesn't mean you aren't healthy. It just helps control moods.
2) Yes, theres a saying "95% do it, 5% lie"
3) According to the bible, its morally wrong because those organs aren't there for that purpose.

Of course its healthy. Gives you some preperation before the real thing lol

Nah, but seriously, I'd say most people wehn they hit their teens do it and I don't see any one dying of cancer or ghonorrea from it.

Thanks guys, its just she needed help and its not exactly the kinda thing you go knocking on doors asking!

It's a personal preference really, people who like doing it and enjoy it will do it.

thers nothing wrong or unhealthy doing it.if there was then 99.9% of the worls are wrong and unhealtyhy

Here is a Intresting Link for Facts about it - http://healthystrokes.com/youngfem.html

Intresting facts, especially this:

Do all males masturbate?

By their 15th birthdays, close to 100 percent of males have masturbated to orgasm.

So really all 15 year olds have masturbated.

There is nothing wrong with doing it imo. It actually may be better in indulging in it to release sexual tension rather than letting it build up.

All 15 year old males. Girls never really talk about it.

Of course it's healthy then everyone would have died a long time ago. It's the beginning of your sexuality and if you think it's the right thing to do then go for it.

Where have you been hiding Laura? On some remote island or something?

i dont think it should be fround upon.everyone will do it at leaste once.and i mean everyone.but at the same time it shouldnt be seen as like a hobbie or something.LMAO

Its only frowned upon because of the Bible- and almost every aspect of the Bible has made its way into everyday thinking without us realising.

*shushes Mark* Oh and I'm tres busy, I have my French oral next week and Irish week after so I'm not gonna be on for a while *sad face*

Nothing wrong with masturbation as long as you are not upsetting anyone else while doing it. Some people use masturbation in a very unhealty way to scare people etc.. in private or with your partner is just fine and a very important part of a normal sexual relationship as well as something you do in private.

You're all a bunch of wankers - literally

[Note to the humorously-deformed - this is a joke.]

Why? Why are we more open about full blown [pardon the pun] sex than this?

I wank and im proud of it! once every hour for a rainy day their once. Had trouble walking the next morning. Fun times.

I don't see the problem with it, it's just part of being human.

I don't think theres anything wrong with it, its part of growing up.

I'd be surprised if a young man DIDN'T masturbate.

"I'd be surprised if a young man DIDN'T masturbate."

It's not just the young......... Errrr........ or so I have heard.
