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.

Yeah, that's a part where I'm confused about. Many reliable online sites dealing with sexuality say MB is perfectly normal behaviour. However, I"ve been to other anti porn forums where members are staunchly against MB. They say it leads them back to P. And that is my argument. If after constant MB, you go back to P, then obviously its harmful and should be stopped. However, if you can MB without going back to P, then I say its not harmful and can even be benefical in the ways listed above. The problem here is that we're not sure if MB or even fantasizing/looking at girls is wrong. If the mentioned activites are harmful in the same way P are, then obviously they should not be practiced. We all know we should stop P abuse becasue all of us have seen/heard/experinced the nasty eefects of P. However, not much of us are clear whether MB is as harmful as P, so alot of people are confused on this subject. Me included
