I totally agree with you Dave42!

Everyone here is keen to point out that Masturbation makes you think of bad images. The problem with this argument, however, is that it does not take into account of what happens to your mind and body when you go for long periods of time without masturbation.

A lack of masterbation for a very long time causes you to have an over-abundance of testosterone in your system. The more testosterone build-up you have, the more enticingly sexual images become and, after a long period of time, the more likely you will cave-in to indulging yourself with explicit images of Pornography. To avoid this breakdown, I masturbate 1 out of every 3 or 4 days.

According to CoolNurse.com, Masturbation has been significantly proven to help:
a) Relieve Stress
b) Relieve menstrual cramps
c) Help for insomnia (i.e. when a person is having trouble falling asleep)
d) Stimulate the immune system to help build up resistance to common infections.
e) Help release mood elevating hormones
f) Reduce embarrassing spontaneous erections for teen males
g) Reduce the number of unwanted wet dreams for young men

When I masturbate, I do the best I can to reduce sexual imagery. The images are still there, but I've kept them to a minimum.
