"And it’s not like I’ve never jacked off. I’m fifteen years old. Of course I do it. Any guy who says he doesn’t is lying. That would be like having the coolest video game ever and never playing it. No one’s that stupid."
Debunking the myths.
You likely already know that masturbation is not going to make you go blind. It will not make you grow hair on your palms, and it will never make your penis fall off. However all these myths, like all myths and rumors, come from some basis of reality. Let's take a moment to discuss those things. This will contain science and other boring subjects. May I suggest you wrestle the purple helmet warrior for a moment before continuing on, to make sure your are nice and relaxed for this.
You'll go blind!
Seminal fluid contains a small amount of the same nutrients (zinc) your eyes need to work properly. This is what leads to this argument that masturbation will cause blindness. The issue with this argument is that the amount is so small that to cause any sort of loss from what your eyes need to function you would literally need to be sanding your barn wood thousands of times a day. I don't know about you but the most times I have ever successfully masturbated or even ejaculated in one day was twelve, (I lived in the rural south, there is not much else to do) and after awhile it started to hurt anyways so the mark of thousands of times seems just a bit unreachable, as demonstrated by this Robot Chicken Mythbusters parody (sorry for bad quality).
Hairy Palms!
I have no fucking idea where this comes from. I don't really think anyone does. Maybe the movie Teen Wolf is really a documentary about the first case of this ever happening. Much more likely this was a lie overly religious parents told their children. Basically saying I will know because your palms will grow hair. There is literally no science to back this claim up, and there never will be. In certain religion dominated cultures and countries, the penalty for masturbation is beheading.
If you play with it too much, it'll fall off!
Another scare tactic, the only way that waxing the main sail will ever make it fall off is if you're doing it with a pair of scissors, or you have leprosy in which cause you have vastly bigger problems. Barring issues like priapism (an erection lasting more than four hours), your penis is not going to fall off. Honestly masturbation is likely your best friend in that case.
So clearly the wives tales of jacking the kraken are just that, wives tales. Other than maybe issues with chaffing or soreness from doing it too much, nothing negative is ever going to happen from you slapping the trouser trout. We will discuss preventing those issues in the next section.

As a woman I vastly enjoyed your article on male masturbation and know the men who read this will benefit from your insight. I have read every article you have posted and have set an alert for every time you write. Keep up the great work!
@werone123 Well thank you, I'll be submitting this one to the monthly contest, when they said back to basics I figured whats more basic than masturbating, and since I can't comment on the female side from experience I can certainly do the male side.
Well said, especially the last bit
I do this quiet regularly and my wife sits and watches me and she is so use to it it doesnt bother her. AWESOME
Great article..true on all fronts...as I get older I masturbate as much as possible..I mean free pleasure..what could be better, plus all the mental emotional and health benefits accrue. Love to use toys, my hands, whatever devices I can use to reach that ultimate pleasure zenith!
I love pleasure more than anybody and would never give it up! I couldn't lol
