Retranscription des paroles de la vidéo: Masturbation, everyone does it. Monkeys do it, dolphins do it, elephants, walruses, bats, turtles, and, of course, humans do it. But, as normal as it is, it still carries a great deal of stigma and is surrounded by harmful myths that create shame and confusion around the subject. There are claims that it can cause blindness, mental illness, hairy palms, and a whole host of other problems. But where did those myths come from? The answer might just surprise you! One of the most bizarre myths surrounding masturbation is that it can cause a person to grow hair on their palms if they indulge in the practice too often. The origins of this particular myth are difficult to trace, and there is some debate regarding where it intiialy started. After all, hairy palms aren’t as common as blindness, insanity, or any of the other supposed adverse effects associated with masturbation. So, where did this notion come from that touching yourself would lead to something out of a deleted scene from Teen Wolf? According to one theory, it may have actually been a simple mistranslation. At the beginning of the 19th century, a popular French idiom emerged that translated to « having hair on one’s palms. » It was intended to refer to someone behaving in a lazy, self-indulgent way. It just so happened that one of the behaviors most associated with masturbation was laziness and a poor work ethic. It stands to reason, then, that this phrase would be used to describe frequent masturbators. Given that English nobility at the time enjoyed throwing around French words and phrases to make themselves sound more cultured and refined, it’s entirely possible that they used this particular idiom as well. All it would take is one especially literal person hearing it, then repeating it to others, who then repeated it again, and after a nationwide game of telephone, the notion of masturbation giving someone actual hair on their palms could become a common belief. Possibly, the most commonly repeated masturbation myth is that overindulging in the behavior can cause you to go blind. Suffice it to say that absolutely is not true, and the only way for masturbation to affect someone’s vision is if they do it so vigorously that they burst a blood vessel in their eye. However, that’s extremely unlikely. So, where did the idea of a connection between self-pleasure and eyesight come from? As is often the case with misinformation, it’s difficult to pinpoint the exact origin of this myth, but one of its sources is actually a group generally associated with wisdom: ancient Greek philosophers. Aristotle believed that the area around the eyes was the part of the head « most fruitful of semen, » and that this could be depleted by excessive masturbation. Pythagoras and his followers believed that semen was comprised of brain matter, describing it as « a drop of the brain. » That’s one Pythagorean Theorem you won’t hear about in math class. If semen was assumed to come from the brain and the stores of liquid around the eyes, believing that expelling a great deal of semen would negatively impact eyesight, or worse, made sense. Of course, the problem with this theory was that it was based on incorrect assumptions about the human body. Unfortunately, the myth persisted beyond Ancient Greece. In 1712, an anonymously-published monograph was released, claiming to have been penned by a doctor. Its title was: « Onania, or the Heinous Sin of Self-Pollution, And All Its Frightful Consequences, In Both Sexes, Considered: With Spiritual and Physical Advice To Those Who Have Already Injured Themselves By This Abominable Practice.” How’s that for a mouthful? « Onania » warned that masturbation would lead to « disturbances of the stomach and digestion, loss of appetite or ravenous hunger, vomiting, nausea, weakening of the organs of breathing, coughing, hoarseness, paralysis, blindness, weakening of the organ of generation to the point of impotence, […] and…suicide.” Even as the list of symptoms supposedly associated with masturbation grew, blindness was always included. It seems that physicians just couldn’t shake the association between masturbation and loss of vision, in spite of a lack of practical evidence to support it. In the 18th century, a Swiss physician by the name of Samuel-Auguste Tissot decided to weigh in on the subject. He published « Onanism: A Treatise on the Maladies Produced by Masturbation » in 1758. In it, he claimed that one ounce of semen was equal to 40 ounces of blood, and therefore, masturbation caused dramatic amounts of energy and blood loss. He claimed that emissions of semen outside of procreative sex would lead to « fever, delirium, » and, within four hours, « death. » He further elaborated that excessive masturbation, and even loss of semen through nocturnal emissions or « wet dreams » could cause, quote: “A general wasting of the animal machine, a debility of all the bodily senses, and of all the faculties of the mind: the loss of the imagination, and of the memory: imbecility, the shame and the disgrace attendant upon it, all the functions disturbed, suspended, or painful, long, severe, and disgusting diseases.” So, his general attitude toward masturbation was, in a word: harsh. As the misinformation continued to spread, more anti-masturbation crusaders came up with new theories about managing what they saw as a public health crisis. One of the most staunch believers in the negative health impacts of masturbation was a Battle Creek, Michigan physician and Seventh-Day Adventist named John Harvey Kellogg. As a physician, his health advice ranged from reasonable to…let’s say, eccentric. He advocated for fresh air and exercise, avoiding alcohol and tobacco, and maintaining a vegetarian diet. However, he also believed that one of the worst things that anyone could do for their health was masturbate. He considered it to be harmful to a person’s spiritual, physical, and emotional well-being. In fact, he was so anti-ejaculation in any form that he famously avoided sex altogether. He and his wife never consummated their marriage; they slept in separate beds, and adopted all of their children. Many myths about the adverse effects of masturbation can be traced to Kellogg’s writing, specifically his 1877 book « Plain Facts for Old and Young: Embracing the Natural History and Hygiene of Organic Life. » In this book, he provided a laundry list of symptoms that supposedly afflicted the chronic masturbator. These included mood swings, fickleness, bashfulness, boldness, bad posture, stiff joints, fondness for spicy foods, acne, palpitations, and epilepsy. Wait, what was that one in the middle? The spicy foods thing? That kind of seems like it came out of nowhere. Well, from Kellogg’s perspective, diet and behavior were directly linked. If a person’s diet consisted of heavily spiced foods, of meat, sugar, and really anything flavorful or exciting, it would inflame their sexual desires and cause them to act out via masturbation. But if one stuck to a plain, bland diet of primarily grains and nuts, they would be able to suppress these urges and keep their hands above the waist. Kellogg was not the only proponent of this idea, by the way. The notion of using a bland diet to curb masturbatory urges was also popularized by a minister named Sylvester Graham, who believed masturbation polluted the soul and body, as well as causing insanity and blindness. Graham primarily ate bread made from coarsely ground wheat or rye flour, which he eventually began to use in muffins and crackers. That’s right, surprise! Sylvester Graham was that Graham, responsible for the famous Graham Cracker. At the time, these crackers were unsweetened, and no one would have dared to sandwich chocolate and marshmallows between them. Kellogg was born a year after Graham died and, influenced by his ideas in adulthood, was poised to carry on his legacy of grain-fueled anti-masturbation crusades. He devoted his time to developing a simple, easy-to-prepare breakfast food that could replace the decadent and sinful meat-based breakfasts popular at the time. He began with Graham Crackers, which he baked and crumbled into smaller pieces to be eaten with a spoon. He christened it « granola, » but was unsatisfied with the product and continued experimenting. Along with his brother William, he developed a few additional cereals, one made from flaked wheat, and another made from corn, which the two named « corn flakes. » William suggested that they add sugar to the recipe in order to improve the taste, but John refused to compromise on his vision. This resulted in a split between the brothers, and a subsequent lawsuit that won Will the right to sell the cereals, with his new recipe, under his name: Kellogg. A double food surprise for the price of one! Two of the most famous snacks in American history, Graham Crackers and Kellogg’s Corn Flakes, were forged in the fires of fanatical anti-masturbation activism. In addition to his recommended bland diet, Kellogg also suggested more extreme measures to curtail masturbation. He would recommend that parents tie their children’s hands to their bedposts, and would even suggest mutilation or pouring acid on the genitals to prevent masturbation. But don’t worry, that was only if the cornflakes didn’t work. The deeper you dig into the various myths around masturbation, the more apparent it becomes that many of them are related. Another misconception about masturbation is that it lowers energy, vitality, and focus. The link between orgasms and a loss of energy can be traced all the way back to Taoism. In Taoism, semen is vital for the nourishment of both the brain and the body, and must be retained rather than expelled in order to preserve a man’s life force. According to the Su Nu Jing, a treatise on sex written in the 3rd century CE, « intercourse without ejaculation strengthens the energies, » and « after intercourse twice without ejaculation, one’s hearing and sight improve. » The ancient Greeks shared a similar belief. That’s right, the Ancient Greeks contributed to this view of ejaculation as well. Hippocrates frequently discussed the importance of keeping the body in balance, and maintaining correct levels of the four « humors » thought to be found in the body (blood, yellow bile, black bile, and phlegm). In his view, too much ejaculation could throw off this balance. Plato advised men to retain their semen to remain strong, citing abstinent athletes as proof. By the way, many athletes follow this advice to this day, avoiding sex and masturbation before a big game. It should be noted that there is no scientific evidence to back up this theory. A systematic review of scientific evidence on the effects of sexual activity on performance in sports found that there is no correlation between this activity and poor athletic performance. New York Yankees manager Casey Stengel once said on the subject, « It’s not the sex that wrecks these guys, it’s staying up all night looking for it. » Essentially, it isn’t the activity, or the ejaculation, that results in a loss of energy and athletic prowess. It’s the late nights, vigorous physical activity, and other adjacent behaviors, such as the consumption of alcohol while at bars and clubs, that might lead athletes to do poorly the day after a wild night with a sexual partner. You may have noticed that these early beliefs do not draw a distinction between ejaculation during sex and ejaculation from masturbation, believing it to be detrimental no matter what. Masturbation became the obvious target over time, since sex is necessary for the continuation of the human species and cannot be cut out of all people’s lives indefinitely. Some of this shift can be attributed to the Church in Medieval Europe. According to the Church, God commanded his people to go forth and « multiply, » so procreation was the name of the game. Therefore, procreative sex within the bounds of marriage was highly encouraged. However, any semen that was spilled without this intent was sinful, and, in fact, dangerous. If someone masturbated, theologians believed that demons stole this semen and used it to impregnate women out of wedlock. These were succubi, female demons who seduced and stole the semen of men, and incubi, the same demon in the form of a man, who would then impregnate a woman. Most people don’t believe in semen demons anymore, but echoes of these historical beliefs about semen and vitality, and the evils of masturbation, have persisted into the modern day. There are online communities dedicated to semen retention, where users claim that they have experienced improved concentration and focus after giving up masturbation. However, there is no research to back this up. In fact, there is research that suggests masturbation can improve focus due to the chemicals released in the brain during orgasm. Other users in these communities repeat pseudoscientific claims that feel like something out of Pythagoras or Aristotle’s writings – and for once, that’s not a compliment. They claim that because all parts of the body are connected, semen must come from other parts of the body when the testicles have been emptied. One popular claim is that it takes 30 days for the body to turn digested food into 10 grams of semen. This is patently false, as the testicles produce approximately 1,500 sperm per second. Also, and this may be obvious but apparently bears repeating, no part of the body other than the testicles is capable of producing semen. That simply is not how the human body works. The NoFap movement, born from a Reddit thread and subsequent subreddit, is a community based around the supposed harms of masturbation, and the supposed benefits of cutting it out completely. NoFap claims that it can cure erectile dysfunction, increase testosterone, and improve confidence and sexual performance. But does abstinence increase testosterone? According to several studies, the answer is no. Some research has shown that there is no change in testosterone levels at all after masturbation, while one study actually indicated an increase in testosterone levels after orgasm. There don’t appear to be any measurable links between masturbation and negative health outcomes in men, contrary to what NoFap suggests. So what, then, is causing the problems that so many attribute to masturbation? As it turns out, these effects might be related to personal perceptions of and attitudes about masturbation and sex. If someone views masturbation as an activity to feel guilty about, then the stress that this guilt places on their body can cause the negative health impacts that they fear. A study investigating the motivations behind abstinence found that most people who choose to abstain from masturbation do so because they view it as unhealthy or wrong. This leads to guilt, anxiety, and depression following a perceived « relapse. » These feelings can decrease testosterone levels and lead to other issues, such as erectile dysfunction and difficulty with sexual performance. You may have noticed that this discussion of masturbation and the myths surrounding it have skewed toward guys so far. While some anti-masturbation advocates did reference women (Kellogg for example), most of them didn’t even bother. The fact of the matter is that there are far fewer myths about female masturbation. Why? Well, that would be due to one of the most widespread masturbation myths of all: that women don’t do it. However, a survey of British women found that 91% of women masturbate, and 36% of the women polled admitted to doing it several times a week. There are other myths that go along with this one, including the myth that women don’t watch porn (they do, one in three porn users are women). Why do people believe that women don’t masturbate, even though that isn’t true? A great deal of this is due to the stigma surrounding the act, which is often considered to be more « masculine » in nature. Though the relationship between society and female sexuality has always been fraught, some of this stigma around female masturbation can be traced to the work of Dr. Sigmund Freud. Freud, as it turns out, has some major issues with the clitoris. He believed that « elimination of clitoral sexuality » was necessary for femininity because it was « immature and masculine in nature. » In the Victorian Era, it was a common assumption that women did not experience sexual pleasure or desire. Therefore, excessive masturbation in young women was thought to be a cause of hysteria, a now-debunked condition believed to be characterized by a woman’s uterus detaching and wandering throughout the body, causing erratic behavior and physical ailments. Ironically enough, one of the treatments for this supposed disease was pelvic massage involving vaginal and clitoral stimulation administered by a physician. This would induce « paroxysm » or orgasm, and was thought to keep the symptoms of hysteria at bay. So, essentially, women weren’t allowed to mastubate themselves, but if a doctor did it, that was perfectly fine. Women who were not given this treatment could find themselves prescribed clitoridectomies, the surgical removal of the clitoris. They were also prescribed exercise, rest, and fresh air to cure them of these urges. So, if female masturbation was acknowledged to exist at all, it was regarded as deviant or even dangerous behavior. Though it didn’t share the myths associated with ejaculation and loss of semen, hysteria caused by masturbation was thought, if left untreated, to lead to digestive issues, epilepsy, and even death. Not only are a lot of the claims about masturbation’s supposed harms untrue, but there is evidence to suggest that it can actually be beneficial! A study by The Cancer Council Victoria in Melbourne, Australia, found that frequent masturbation correlates to a lower chance of developing prostate cancer. Contrary to claims that masturbation can cause erectile dysfunction, it can actually help prevent it. Regular masturbation exercises the pelvic floor, helping to prevent incontinence and erectile dysfunction later in life. According to hormone therapy specialist Dr. Jennifer Landa, masturbation can boost the immune system by triggering the release of cortisol, a stress hormone that can aid with immune system function in small doses. Additionally, a 2004 research study found that people with penises had a higher white blood cell count 45 minutes following a self-administered orgasm. It may prevent heart disease, too. A report from the Massachusetts aging study determined that men who had two or more orgasms per week were 45% less likely to die of cardiovascular disease than those who had one or less per month. And, of course, it makes you feel good, too! No, not just physically, but mentally. Masturbation releases dopamine and oxytocin, brain chemicals that activate the reward centers of the brain and provide a mood boost. These happy brain chemicals can also help with sleep, providing some much-needed relief from a bout of insomnia. It’s only fair, after discussing the benefits of masturbation, to discuss some of the potential negative impacts. If someone ignores their body’s signals while masturbating, pushing past feelings of discomfort, numbness, itchiness, or soreness, they risk irritating their genitals and potentially causing microtears in the delicate skin. Using too much pressure during masturbation can decrease sensitivity, leading to less satisfying sexual experiences. However, both of these possible problems can be avoided by listening to your body and taking necessary breaks. Notice that blindness, insanity, or any of the other wild symptoms that quack doctors from the 17 and 1800s came up with didn’t make the list. Of course, any behavior can become harmful if it causes you to neglect the important things in your life, ignore the people you care about, or hurt yourself physically and mentally. But the way to avoid that harm is not to spread false information or repeat centuries-old myths from cereal manufacturers and ancient philosophers.

And All Its Frightful Consequences,  
0.28 In Both Sexes, Considered: With Spiritual 
and Physical Advice To Those Who Have Already  
0.28 Injured Themselves By This Abominable 
Practice.” How&;s that for a mouthful?
0.28 "Onania" warned that masturbation would lead 
to "disturbances of the stomach and digestion,  
0.28 loss of appetite or ravenous hunger, vomiting,  
0.28 nausea, weakening of the organs of breathing,

0.28 So, his general attitude toward 
masturbation was, in a word:  
0.28 harsh. As the misinformation continued to 
spread, more anti-masturbation crusaders  
0.28 came up with new theories about managing 
what they saw as a public health crisis.
0.28 One of the most staunch believers in the negative 
health impacts of masturbation was a Battle Creek,  
0.28 Michigan physician and Seventh-Day Adventist 
named John Harvey Kellogg. As a physician,  
0.28 his health advice ranged from reasonable 
to…let&;s say, eccentric. He advocated  
0.28 for fresh air and exercise, avoiding alcohol 
and tobacco, and maintaining a vegetarian  
0.28 diet. However, he also believed that one of 
the worst things that anyone could do for  
0.28 their health was masturbate. He considered 
it to be harmful to a person&;s spiritual,  
0.28 physical, and emotional well-being. In fact, 
he was so anti-ejaculation in any form that  
0.28 he famously avoided sex altogether. He and 
his wife never consummated their marriage;  
0.28 they slept in separate beds, and 
adopted all of their children.
0.28 Many myths about the adverse effects of 
masturbation can be traced to Kellogg&;s  
0.28 writing, specifically his 1877 book 
"Plain Facts for Old and Young:  
0.28 Embracing the Natural History and 
Hygiene of Organic Life." In this book,  
0.28 he provided a laundry list of symptoms 
that supposedly afflicted the chronic  
0.28 masturbator. These included mood 
swings, fickleness, bashfulness,  
0.28 boldness, bad posture, stiff joints, fondness for 
spicy foods, acne, palpitations, and epilepsy.
0.28 Wait, what was that one in the 
middle? The spicy foods thing?  
0.28 That kind of seems like it came out of nowhere.
0.28 Well, from Kellogg&;s perspective, diet and 
behavior were directly linked. If a person&;s  
0.28 diet consisted of heavily spiced foods, of meat, 
sugar, and really anything flavorful or exciting,  
0.28 it would inflame their sexual desires and 
cause them to act out via masturbation.  
0.28 But if one stuck to a plain, bland 
diet of primarily grains and nuts,  
0.28 they would be able to suppress these urges 
and keep their hands above the waist.
0.28 Kellogg was not the only proponent of this 
idea, by the way. The notion of using a  
0.28 bland diet to curb masturbatory urges was also 
popularized by a minister named Sylvester Graham,  
0.28 who believed masturbation polluted the soul and 
body, as well as causing insanity and blindness.  
0.28 Graham primarily ate bread made from coarsely 
ground wheat or rye flour, which he eventually  
0.28 began to use in muffins and crackers. That&;s 
right, surprise! Sylvester Graham was that Graham,  
0.28 responsible for the famous Graham Cracker. 
At the time, these crackers were unsweetened,  
0.28 and no one would have dared to sandwich 
chocolate and marshmallows between them.
0.28 Kellogg was born a year after Graham died 
and, influenced by his ideas in adulthood,  
0.28 was poised to carry on his legacy of grain-fueled 
anti-masturbation crusades. He devoted his time  
0.28 to developing a simple, easy-to-prepare breakfast 
food that could replace the decadent and sinful  
0.28 meat-based breakfasts popular at the 
time. He began with Graham Crackers,  
0.28 which he baked and crumbled into 
smaller pieces to be eaten with a  
0.28 spoon. He christened it "granola," but 
was unsatisfied with the product and  
0.28 continued experimenting. Along with his brother 
William, he developed a few additional cereals,  
0.28 one made from flaked wheat, and another made 
from corn, which the two named "corn flakes."
0.28 William suggested that they add sugar to 
the recipe in order to improve the taste,  
0.28 but John refused to compromise on his vision. 
This resulted in a split between the brothers,  
0.28 and a subsequent lawsuit that won 
Will the right to sell the cereals,  
0.28 with his new recipe, under his name: Kellogg. 
A double food surprise for the price of one!  
0.28 Two of the most famous snacks in American 
history, Graham Crackers and Kellogg&;s Corn  
0.28 Flakes, were forged in the fires of 
fanatical anti-masturbation activism.
0.28 In addition to his recommended bland diet, Kellogg 
also suggested more extreme measures to curtail  
0.28 masturbation. He would recommend that parents 
tie their children&;s hands to their bedposts,  
0.28 and would even suggest mutilation 
or pouring acid on the genitals to  
0.28 prevent masturbation. But don&;t worry, that 
was only if the cornflakes didn&;t work.
0.28 The deeper you dig into the various myths around 
masturbation, the more apparent it becomes that  
0.28 many of them are related. Another misconception 
about masturbation is that it lowers energy,  
0.28 vitality, and focus. The link between orgasms 
and a loss of energy can be traced all the way  
0.28 back to Taoism. In Taoism, semen is vital for 
the nourishment of both the brain and the body,  
0.28 and must be retained rather than expelled 
in order to preserve a man&;s life force.
0.28 According to the Su Nu Jing, a treatise on sex 
written in the 3rd century CE, "intercourse  
0.28 without ejaculation strengthens the energies," 
and "after intercourse twice without ejaculation,  
0.28 one&;s hearing and sight improve." The ancient 
Greeks shared a similar belief. That&;s right,  
0.28 the Ancient Greeks contributed to this 
view of ejaculation as well. Hippocrates  
0.28 frequently discussed the importance of keeping 
the body in balance, and maintaining correct  
0.28 levels of the four "humors" thought to 
be found in the body (blood, yellow bile,  
0.28 black bile, and phlegm). In his view, too much 
ejaculation could throw off this balance. Plato  
0.28 advised men to retain their semen to remain 
strong, citing abstinent athletes as proof.
0.28 By the way, many athletes follow this advice to 
this day, avoiding sex and masturbation before a  
0.28 big game. It should be noted that there is no 
scientific evidence to back up this theory. A  
0.28 systematic review of scientific evidence on the 
effects of sexual activity on performance in  
0.28 sports found that there is no correlation between 
this activity and poor athletic performance. New  
0.28 York Yankees manager Casey Stengel once said 
on the subject, "It&;s not the sex that wrecks  
0.28 these guys, it&;s staying up all night looking for 
it." Essentially, it isn&;t the activity, or the  
0.28 ejaculation, that results in a loss of energy and 
athletic prowess. It&;s the late nights, vigorous  
0.28 physical activity, and other adjacent behaviors, 
such as the consumption of alcohol while at bars  
0.28 and clubs, that might lead athletes to do poorly 
the day after a wild night with a sexual partner.
0.28 You may have noticed that these early beliefs 
do not draw a distinction between ejaculation  
0.28 during sex and ejaculation from masturbation, 
believing it to be detrimental no matter what.  
0.28 Masturbation became the obvious target 
over time, since sex is necessary for  
0.28 the continuation of the human species 
and cannot be cut out of all people&;s  
0.28 lives indefinitely. Some of this shift can be 
attributed to the Church in Medieval Europe.
0.28 According to the Church, God commanded his people 
to go forth and "multiply," so procreation was  
0.28 the name of the game. Therefore, procreative 
sex within the bounds of marriage was highly  
0.28 encouraged. However, any semen that was spilled 
without this intent was sinful, and, in fact,  
0.28 dangerous. If someone masturbated, theologians 
believed that demons stole this semen and used  
0.28 it to impregnate women out of wedlock. These were 
succubi, female demons who seduced and stole the  
0.28 semen of men, and incubi, the same demon in the 
form of a man, who would then impregnate a woman.
0.28 Most people don&;t believe in semen demons 
anymore, but echoes of these historical  
0.28 beliefs about semen and vitality, and the evils of 
masturbation, have persisted into the modern day.
0.28 There are online communities dedicated to 
semen retention, where users claim that they  
0.28 have experienced improved concentration and 
focus after giving up masturbation. However,  
0.28 there is no research to back this up. In fact, 
there is research that suggests masturbation can  
0.28 improve focus due to the chemicals released in 
the brain during orgasm. Other users in these  
0.28 communities repeat pseudoscientific 
claims that feel like something out  
0.28 of Pythagoras or Aristotle&;s writings – 
and for once, that&;s not a compliment.
0.28 They claim that because all parts of the body 
are connected, semen must come from other  
0.28 parts of the body when the testicles have been 
emptied. One popular claim is that it takes 30  
0.28 days for the body to turn digested food into 
10 grams of semen. This is patently false,  
0.28 as the testicles produce approximately 
1,500 sperm per second. Also, and this  
0.28 may be obvious but apparently bears 
repeating, no part of the body other than  
0.28 the testicles is capable of producing semen. 
That simply is not how the human body works.
0.28 The NoFap movement, born from a Reddit 
thread and subsequent subreddit,  
0.28 is a community based around the supposed 
harms of masturbation, and the supposed  
0.28 benefits of cutting it out completely. NoFap 
claims that it can cure erectile dysfunction,  
0.28 increase testosterone, and improve confidence 
and sexual performance. But does abstinence  
0.28 increase testosterone? According to 
several studies, the answer is no. Some  
0.28 research has shown that there is no change in 
testosterone levels at all after masturbation,  
0.28 while one study actually indicated an 
increase in testosterone levels after orgasm.
0.28 There don&;t appear to be any measurable 
links between masturbation and negative  
0.28 health outcomes in men, contrary 
to what NoFap suggests. So what,  
0.28 then, is causing the problems that 
so many attribute to masturbation?
0.28 As it turns out, these effects might be related 
to personal perceptions of and attitudes  
0.28 about masturbation and sex. If someone views 
masturbation as an activity to feel guilty about,  
0.28 then the stress that this guilt places on 
their body can cause the negative health  
0.28 impacts that they fear. A study investigating 
the motivations behind abstinence found that  
0.28 most people who choose to abstain from 
masturbation do so because they view  
0.28 it as unhealthy or wrong. This leads to 
guilt, anxiety, and depression following a  
0.28 perceived "relapse." These feelings can decrease 
testosterone levels and lead to other issues,  
0.28 such as erectile dysfunction and 
difficulty with sexual performance.
0.28 You may have noticed that this discussion 
of masturbation and the myths surrounding  
0.28 it have skewed toward guys so far. 
While some anti-masturbation advocates  
0.28 did reference women (Kellogg for example), 
most of them didn&;t even bother. The fact  
0.28 of the matter is that there are far fewer 
myths about female masturbation. Why? Well,  
0.28 that would be due to one of the most widespread 
masturbation myths of all: that women don&;t do  
0.28 it. However, a survey of British women 
found that 91% of women masturbate,  
0.28 and 36% of the women polled admitted 
to doing it several times a week.
0.28 There are other myths that go along with this 
one, including the myth that women don&;t watch  
0.28 porn (they do, one in three porn users are women). 
Why do people believe that women don&;t masturbate,  
0.28 even though that isn&;t true? A great deal of 
this is due to the stigma surrounding the act,  
0.28 which is often considered to 
be more "masculine" in nature.
0.28 Though the relationship between society and 
female sexuality has always been fraught,  
0.28 some of this stigma around female masturbation can 
be traced to the work of Dr. Sigmund Freud. Freud,  
0.28 as it turns out, has some major issues with 
the clitoris. He believed that "elimination of  
0.28 clitoral sexuality" was necessary for femininity 
because it was "immature and masculine in nature."
0.28 In the Victorian Era, it was a common assumption 
that women did not experience sexual pleasure  
0.28 or desire. Therefore, excessive masturbation in 
young women was thought to be a cause of hysteria,  
0.28 a now-debunked condition believed to be 
characterized by a woman&;s uterus detaching  
0.28 and wandering throughout the body, causing erratic 
behavior and physical ailments. Ironically enough,  
0.28 one of the treatments for this supposed disease 
was pelvic massage involving vaginal and clitoral  
0.28 stimulation administered by a physician. 
This would induce "paroxysm" or orgasm,  
0.28 and was thought to keep the 
symptoms of hysteria at bay.
0.28 So, essentially, women weren&;t 
allowed to mastubate themselves,  
0.28 but if a doctor did it, that was perfectly fine.
0.28 Women who were not given this treatment could 
find themselves prescribed clitoridectomies,  
0.28 the surgical removal of the clitoris. They 
were also prescribed exercise, rest, and fresh  
0.28 air to cure them of these urges. So, if female 
masturbation was acknowledged to exist at all,  
0.28 it was regarded as deviant or even dangerous 
behavior. Though it didn&;t share the myths  
0.28 associated with ejaculation and loss of semen, 
hysteria caused by masturbation was thought,  
0.28 if left untreated, to lead to digestive 
issues, epilepsy, and even death.
0.28 Not only are a lot of the claims about 
masturbation&;s supposed harms untrue,  
0.28 but there is evidence to suggest 
that it can actually be beneficial!
0.28 A study by The Cancer Council 
Victoria in Melbourne, Australia,  
0.28 found that frequent masturbation correlates to 
a lower chance of developing prostate cancer.  
0.28 Contrary to claims that masturbation 
can cause erectile dysfunction,  
0.28 it can actually help prevent it. Regular 
masturbation exercises the pelvic floor,  
0.28 helping to prevent incontinence and 
erectile dysfunction later in life.
0.28 According to hormone therapy specialist Dr. 
Jennifer Landa, masturbation can boost the immune  
0.28 system by triggering the release of cortisol, a 
stress hormone that can aid with immune system  
0.28 function in small doses. Additionally, a 
2004 research study found that people with  
0.28 penises had a higher white blood cell count 45 
minutes following a self-administered orgasm.
0.28 It may prevent heart disease, too. A 
report from the Massachusetts aging  
0.28 study determined that men who had two 
or more orgasms per week were 45% less  
0.28 likely to die of cardiovascular disease 
than those who had one or less per month.
0.28 And, of course, it makes you feel 
good, too! No, not just physically,  
0.28 but mentally. Masturbation releases dopamine 
and oxytocin, brain chemicals that activate  
0.28 the reward centers of the brain and provide 
a mood boost. These happy brain chemicals  
0.28 can also help with sleep, providing some 
much-needed relief from a bout of insomnia.
0.28 It&;s only fair, after discussing the 
benefits of masturbation, to discuss  
0.28 some of the potential negative impacts. If someone 
ignores their body&;s signals while masturbating,  
0.28 pushing past feelings of discomfort, numbness, 
itchiness, or soreness, they risk irritating  
0.28 their genitals and potentially causing microtears 
in the delicate skin. Using too much pressure  
0.28 during masturbation can decrease sensitivity, 
leading to less satisfying sexual experiences.
0.28 However, both of these possible problems 
can be avoided by listening to your body  
0.28 and taking necessary breaks. Notice that 
blindness, insanity, or any of the other  
0.28 wild symptoms that quack doctors from the 17 
and 1800s came up with didn&;t make the list.
0.28 Of course, any behavior can become 
harmful if it causes you to neglect  
0.28 the important things in your life, 
ignore the people you care about,  
0.28 or hurt yourself physically and mentally. But 
the way to avoid that harm is not to spread false  
0.28 information or repeat centuries-old myths from 
cereal manufacturers and ancient philosophers.
