Nah it's good for prostate health to masturbate at reasonable intervals

[-] Bluefruit@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago

I'm glad you mentioned reasonable levels because like with anything, it can be harmful if done too often.

When dust comes out, it's time to stop

[-] 1847953620@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

No, keep pushing forward. No pain no gain

My ejaculate is vapor now. It feels amazing.

[-] evidences@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I had a friend recently who was on flomax, which is a prostate drug but they were treating his kidney stone, he said when he finished it came out like a puff of dust. I'll let him know he should have stopped.

[-] Bluefruit@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

Great question.

Essentially if its not interfering with your life in a meaningful way, you're fine.

If it causes you to miss work or if you're unable to wait until you get home and end up doing it somewhere its not acceptable, then its an issue.

Or not being able to stop or reduce the frequency can also mean its an issue.

However, rather than listen to some nobody in the internet, you'd want to consult a medical professional.

Worst case, get a D-lock

If it causes you to miss work or if you’re unable to wait until you get home and end up doing it somewhere its not acceptable, then its an issue.

I remember a story about some low level politician pulling off into the parking lot of a preschool to rub one out. That probably would be a good example of this.

Are you numb, bleeding, sore or neglecting other activities like friends, family or your job?

You're probably fine. Whole area's kinda built to do that pretty regularly. So same rules as exercise.

[-] phorq@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

If you have to ask, it's too often.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

If you have to ask, it’s too often.

Every time you jerk off jesus weeps.

[-] phorq@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

If that's what gets you off, I don't kink shame... just enjoy in moderation, there is only so much lubrication tears can provide...

People who worry about other people’s masturbation habits concern me.

[-] phorq@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

People who interpret my last comment as actual advice concern me... actually nah I'd find it hilarious.

If you have to ask, it's too often.

What is this comment of yours referring to?

21 times a month should be good enough.

More shouldn't be a problem either, since once every day reduces the chance of prostate cancer by 36%

[-] SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 year ago

Is there an actual specific reasonable interval or does it vary person to person (of course putting aside any specific issues like muscle injury in the area for an example)

[-] Bluefruit@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It does vary from person to person. Whats reasonable for you may not be reasonable for others. Libido as well as age is gonna be a factor. Some people do it multiple times a day and others are a couple times a week.

Again as long as its not hurting you or others, go for it man. Like others in this thread mentioned, in moderation, its a healthy thing to do.

I find the morning and evening commute to be the ideal time.

[-] rumckle@aussie.zone 14 points 1 year ago

That's the beauty of public transport

[-] Kase@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

please don't be that person on the bus ;-;

Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, that's why I crank my hog on company time

[-] lyam23@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm not taking a side, but unless there's some new evidence, virtually every study I've seen is filled with little to no evidence this is true and sums up with something to the effect of 'results uncertain, more research needed'.

Good advice. Doing more research right now! ;-)

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

Still doesn't look like anything definitive. Words like may and could are littered throughout the article. It looks like the main evidence was a questionnaire.

[-] ricecake@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

You do know that honest science rarely makes definitive statements, right? It may be a spurious correlation, but the next most likely explanation is that all the men lied about their results in a way that perfectly mimicked the expected results, and they did so without any coordination, and over the course of years. Or it's just a massive coincidence that is only true of those men.
