There have been many myth's in relation to masturbation which have lead people astray.

1) Does masturbation cause blindness?
Never has, never will. In my opinion, this comes more from people that are afraid of masturbation and needed a way to make fun of it. I can attest that I have masturbated ever since I could get an errection (as I'm sure a lot of people can agree with) and it most certainly does NOT cause blindness. Although I will say that when you're deep in the edging zone I have gotten so into it that my vision has blurred or even doubled on occasion.

2) If I masturbate often will that be the only way for me to have an orgasm?
No, you can still have sex any way you want however you must remember sex and arousal is a thing of the mind. If you masturbate often (chronic masturbater) you may train your mind to only want to have an orgasm in this manor. Naturally we all know exactly what gets us off and its sometimes harder when someone else that doesn't know our bodies is doing it. But your mind has to be into it as well. The best thing I can recommend if you are a chronic masturbater and you want normal sex is to lay off of it for a while. Your body will come around and you'll be having sex with others sooner then you think. Chronic masturbation does numb your body to others touch's though, keep that in mind.

3) If I masturbate often will I get hairy palms?
This one is so silly it doesn't even deserve an answer, but its no.

4) Does masturbation cause acne?
Absolutely not. I know if it did, the majority of men would be walking around with zits.

Suggestions/comments/observations/personal experiences

I am very very into masturbation and I will state a few of my own observations.

1) If you have rough hands, or are circumsized you may want to use some type of lube to keep from having any swelling of your penis. The reason I mentioned being circumsized is because I am not circumsize. The result is my skin has a lot of movement to it and I never have had any need for any lubricant of any kind. Back when I used to be a mechanic, I had rough hands and on occasion I would get a swelling of the foreskin from excessive masturbation. Once I left it along for a day or two the swelling went down and I was back to normal.

2) Before you get to the 'Chronic masturbater' stage, you may want to consider how important having sex with a partner is. Once you're a chronic masturbater, thats about all you'll want. Anywhere, anyhow that you can play with your penis.

3) EDGING: If you're curious about edging. Keep this in mind. Don't let your penis rule you. Play with it, and once you reach up to the zone where you want to get off, don't. Slow down, back off and do NOT let it orgazm. Mind control your penis and keep it in the zone before orgasm. Do this long enough and when you do orgasm it'll be massive! I have gone for days without orgasm masturbating on and off and let me tell you, when I do get off I can usually shoot cum on my own face. It's a great experience. I will add to this that if you consistantly edge rather then have sex with a partner, your mind will become accustomed to want to edge INSTEAD of having sex with a partner. Be warned.

4) If you really get into edging, and even masturbation just to get off I recommend nipple play along with everything else. At first my nipples were not sensetive to the sexual arousal they can cause. It took quite a while of playing with them day after day before I began getting the GOOD sensations. After years of nipple play, it almost seems as though my nipples are connected directly to my dick. Give it a try!

5) Who knows I'm so into masturbation?
Pretty much everyone that knows ME. I don't hide the fact that I enjoy masturbation to anyone. I guess that could come with age, I don't know for sure. When I was younger I didn't really exploit it. I guess when you're younger you have a tendancy to 'save face' so to speak but after passing 50 I really don't care who knows anymore. Hard to figure that one out.
