Yes, it may get your heart pumping faster, creating better blood circulation.  For older people, it could give you heart attacks.

It doesn't harm you physically, and the only way it would hurt you psychologically, would be if you bought into lugging the baggage of unnecessary guilt around with you. It's actually a very natural thing, that most kids discover in their adolesence.

We were told as kids that it makes you go blind. Yes, I can still see my fingernails.

I FOUND YOU GET HAIRS ON THE PARMS OF YOUR HANDS IF YOU DO IT TO MUCH,

Done in moderation, lkike everything else in this life, it shouldn't have any negative impact.

It isn't bad for you, releases stress.

OMG WHAT HAVE I JUST SAID,??

stress relief.

It does not affect your health one way or the other. It can however effect sperm production if done too much. You have use of the internet. You might want to look this up and educate yourself.

if it were maybe it should be an olympic sport..

Yes, its so OK.  If you cant find a partner, then you just gotta do what gotta be done !

If it were so bad the subject wouldn't cause such an outpouring of comments in the favor of it. Personally, I'm grateful some men have it (okay, women, too...)...............

I can't answer that right now; "I've got my hands full!" Seriously, Dr. Oz,a doctor whose show appears on US TV, recommends it. There seems to be a lower incidence of prostate cancer connected with it. "Mastrubating" is good too!

Could make you go "BLIND!!

Depends where you get caught doing it and by whom.

YOUR masturbating and MY health?  
Most people are up and down or back and forth on this question.  Some just circle around it. 

I must have been pretty naive when i was younger as i didn't know girls mastibated, it wasn't until my ex. told me they do, just thought it was something boys did as i thought of girls as beinge nice. little ice maidens, i remember my oldest daughter was 3 or four was sitting on the lounge playing with herself and i said to my ex. 'for chist's sake stop her from doing it' and she told my daughter, i'if you want to do that go to your room and do it' which i did not expect as an answer , but i gather was the right one.

Shoulder problems, elbow problems. maybe

As long as you don't do it on the street corner, I guess it doesn't matter.

  So who cares about the health part its fun.  And the release of those little guys you hear the doc's talking about (theaormones )or something...it's all good.

It doesn't harm  you but It's not something you're supposed to do 24hrs a day. It's ok for enjoying sexual activity if  you don't have a partner.....like if you had a broken romance, of a death or divorce of your partner.But, a real, live , partner is preferable.  One thing positive about masturbation, is that at least you're having sex with someone who you love   ;- )

Everything is more fun with a friend. 

It`s certainly NOT harmful to your health..(IT MAY BE TO OTHERS IF YOU DO IT IN A PUBLIC PLACE)!!lol..No seriously,it`s not something you should be ashamed of!...It`s a release and just as sex and orgasm releases feel good hormones..ie ENDORPHINS....its doing the same!!...ME..I`D RATHER GO FOR A RUN to get my endorphin rush!!!;-))lol...Millie

Well just how well is your health??????????
