Unfounded claims that masturbation is harmful

The unfounded claim that masturbation is harmful has been circulating for centuries, deeply ingrained and widely influential. Almost everyone
has heard the myth that masturbation is harmful, and many young people, and even some adults, still firmly believe this. But is masturbation really harmful? Let
's review the history of masturbation and look at the evaluations of modern sexological research.
Negative attitudes towards masturbation abroad are mainly influenced by religion, while in China they are mainly influenced by traditional Chinese medicine and social ethics.
A survey of male university students in Beijing found that masturbation is an extremely common sexual activity among young students. Of 353 logic students, 301 had masturbated, accounting for a
significant percentage. The influence of Western religions
: Early Christianity considered masturbation a sin, punishable by imprisonment for 10 days for ordinary believers, and 10 days for clergy in the church. A bishop was punished for
having sex with his sister-in-law to have offspring. During intercourse, the male would ejaculate, indicating his displeasure. Thus, "aonanism" came to represent masturbation, as the term had a derogatory connotation
. Later, the term "masturbation" was created to represent masturbation.
In 18th-century England, a book titled "Masturbation: The Heinous Sin of Self-Redemption and the Complete Horrifying Aftermath" was published, arguing that it was the root of many diseases. John Thompson
wrote a short book titled "Human Relations: The Sin and the Salvation of Delinquent Youth, Adulthood, and Marriage." He assured readers that this
dirty , unnatural, and harmful habit—inevitably violated the laws of humanity; the most degrading abuse of sexual organs; and had the most dangerous
aftermath for the body, health, and personal life. Words cannot express the harm caused by excessive masturbation—it damages the bodies of all sensitive and intelligent children, causing their underdeveloped bodies
to atrophy, becoming thin and pale. He also stated that, according to authoritative calculations, one ounce of semen is equal to forty ounces of blood, believing that masturbators will eventually collapse, their energy depleted, and impotence
may be related to masturbation, not because of masturbation itself, but because of the psychological backlash generated by the fear of its harmful effects. Many doctors believed that
mental exhaustion, intellectual impairment, and inability to marry and have children were associated with masturbation, and books describing the horrors of masturbation continued to circulate in the West until the 1940s.
The influence of Traditional Chinese Medicine and social ethics:

Ancient Chinese descriptions of the harms of masturbation were no less egregious than those in the West. While Westerners said one ounce of semen was equal to forty ounces of blood, China had "one drop of semen equals ten
drops of blood"—truly a case of repetition. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the importance of semen to the human body, believing that semen depletion damages the kidneys, leading to kidney deficiency. Preserving semen is thought to
nourish the brain, naturally contributing to the theory that masturbation is harmful. This is because masturbation depletes semen. Traditional Chinese medicine describes kidney deficiency as physical weakness, easy fatigue, frequent
dizziness , tinnitus, palpitations, lower back pain, weak legs, lethargy, memory loss, insomnia, vivid dreams, and easy awakening, even nocturnal emission.
A sex education article published in the mid-1980s still held the following viewpoint: frequent masturbation can cause nocturnal emission, impotence, premature ejaculation, and other
symptoms of sexual dysfunction; in severe cases, it can even lead to neurasthenia and mental illness. It even cited the example of masturbating before a singing competition affecting the vocal cords. This demonstrates
the significant
influence of the theory that masturbation is harmful.
Is masturbation really that harmful? The answer is no. As early as 1931, a psychologist named Zhou Diaoyang studied Beiping (present-day Beijing)
, which is similar in nature to masturbation. The famous American sex psychologist William Hartman reported that men can also experience multiple orgasms and wrote a book on this topic
. Dr. Kinsey's sex survey showed that 92% of men and 58% of women had achieved orgasm through masturbation multiple times in their lives,
clearly demonstrating the prevalence of masturbation. A 1992 sex education survey conducted in China, led by Professor Liu Dalin, yielded similar results.
In the 1960s, renowned American sexologists Master and Johnson conducted psychological tests on masturbation on a large number of male and female volunteers in a laboratory,
finding no psychological difference between masturbation and normal sexual intercourse. Since normal sexual intercourse is harmless, then masturbation should also be harmless.
Not only that, this couple even created a method of exercise to treat premature ejaculation called the Sensate Concentration Exercise, some of which is
actually masturbation. This method is remarkably effective in treating premature ejaculation and has had a significant impact worldwide. Later, someone created a squeezing method to treat premature ejaculation, with similar efficacy to the former
, in a book titled "Every Man Can Do It," aiming to teach men to achieve multiple orgasms, the method being masturbation. He proposed that
men who can experience multiple orgasms are those who masturbate frequently and know how to masturbate.
Previously, people always associated masturbation with impotence and premature ejaculation. However, with the development of modern medicine and a deeper understanding of the causes of impotence and premature ejaculation,
this association has become less relevant. The speculation is thus refuted. Currently, erectile dysfunction can be categorized into several types, including psychogenic, neurogenic, vascular, endocrine, and drug-induced. Only psychogenic
masturbation can cause premature ejaculation. It's believed that young people, fearing discovery during masturbation, develop a habit of rapid ejaculation, which naturally leads to
premature ejaculation after marriage. This explanation seems plausible; however, many masturbators do not experience premature ejaculation after marriage. Some even experience delayed ejaculation, desiring rapid ejaculation
but unable to. Doctors explain this as excessive stimulation of the penis during masturbation, raising the ejaculation threshold, while normal sexual intercourse stimulation does not reach
the intensity of masturbation. These two explanations contradict each other, indicating that the relationship between masturbation and premature ejaculation is not so simple. Furthermore, many claim to have little or no masturbation. The fact that people who masturbate
still experience premature ejaculation at least explains that masturbation is not the sole cause of premature ejaculation. Premature ejaculation is currently divided into primary and secondary types. Primary premature ejaculation
occurs during the first sexual intercourse, while secondary premature ejaculation occurs after a period of normal sexual activity, and the cause of secondary premature ejaculation is definitely not masturbation.
To date, sexological research has not provided any evidence that masturbation causes significant adverse harm to the human body. Many Western scholars believe that masturbation
, like eating, is a natural human instinct, and that humans have self-regulation, so there is no such thing as excess; it will naturally stop when it feels inappropriate. ( The text
then abruptly shifts to a completely unrelated topic: fasting for 50 days. Medieval Western countries used instruments of torture to punish masturbation. The word "masturbation" comes from a biblical story. The text then abruptly shifts again: an Australian man's brother had no children, and his father...)
