Do you masturbate? How often do you masturbate? What are the benefits of masturbation? What are the disadvantages of masturbation and what are the misconceptions about masturbation being spread among Pakistani boy? Today, I am going to talk about these questions and try to understand the reality of facts which we know since our childhood about masturbation.
As a Pakistani boy, I have been raised to believe that masturbation is bad for me in term of health, religious point of view and as well as moral. No, it has not been taught by my parents but those "baligh" (adult) Ads on newspaper and wall chalking ads by "Hakeem". Other than this, masturbation is always considered as a bad topic to discuss in with friends where all of my friends also know what I know that masturbation is haram, it is equal to having sex, by ejaculating you are doing murder of your future kid and so many other rubbish things like that.
After my father has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, I have decided to read about it and surprisingly it's lead me to the masturbation because prostate cancer is somehow linked with it. After a lot of study and research, I have come to know that the major cause of prostate cancer is not doing enough masturbation (or having sex) while all the misconceptions about masturbation I know since my childhood was really misconception and myth which has no reality at all medically, morally and also in term of religious point of view.
Today, I have decided to share some facts and information about masturbation which every Pakistani boy/man needs to know for the sake of better health, to prevent themselves from prostate cancer and live their life without guilt.
1. Masturbation is not haram or even sin in Islam
The majority of Muslims believe that masturbation is haram where Islam actually has not said anything about masturbation. It is sin or not, only Allah knows that we can’t classify an act as sin until it has been mentioned as a sin in Quran and Hadith where there is no single verse in Quran or hadith about masturbation exists. Some people also relate masturbation as zina where zina is a totally different thing and known as an act of sex among two people without marriage.
2. Masturbation does not cause acne, hair loss, and pimple
I know whenever as a young boy you had a pimple or acne on your face, your friend suggests you stop masturbation to get rid of them where hair loss, headache, joint pain in young age and many other health problems like that also considered as the causes of masturbation where these all are the myth. Health problems like acne, pimple and hair loss usually caused due to hormonal change. Yes, indeed the excess amount of masturbation affect your testosterone level but only if you are doing a lot of masturbation while we all know that excess of everything is bad. But directly there is no effect of masturbation on acne, pimple or hair loss while masturbation makes you blind is a world popular joke only.
3. Masturbation does not make you weak or lazy at all
This one is the most common misconception about masturbation which has been found in most of the Pakistani man, while there is no truth behind this fact. It is true that the sperm contains many healthy nutrition including protein but still, you do not release a lot of them when you masturbate. While a man cannot masturbate more than its body allow him. While, if you are not satisfied with this, then eat quality food to keep your nutrition balanced in your body.
4. Masturbation does not reduce the chance of giving birth
This one is the most popular misconception about masturbation even the hakeem and fraud doctors are using this false fact about masturbation to sell their medicines. Most of the ads regarding male infertility actually say that you can’t give birth because you have wasted your sperm through masturbation when you were a teenager etc. Where you should understand that, if you stop doing masturbation, then the specific amount of sperm will release through a wet dream. Remembered that you cannot store sperm in your testicles forever, it has to be released so that the new sperm can take place. Where the causes of males infertility are abnormal sperm, sperm does not contain semen and your sperm cell is not able to move and failed to penetrate your partner's egg.
5. Masturbation does not make your sperm count low
No, never, it can’t be true in any possible way because sperm is not something which will store in your body forever, if you did not release it, it will be released automatically through wet dream etc. The production of sperm is a continuous process, once you released it from your body, the process of building more sperm cells starts. While storing sperm in your prostate can cause prostate cancer. Meanwhile, studies show that by masturbating, you are helping your body to make more sperm. Porana jay ga nahi to naya kesay ay ga?
6. Masturbation does not affect the size and shape of penis
There is no doctor in this world who says that the size of the penis can get small by masturbating while penis are different sizes and they continuously change with age and height of the person including body weight. These two things have nothing to do with masturbation at all while medical did not claim this ever except fraud doctors and hakim etc.
7. Masturbation does not kill or even effect erection and timing
Another popular fear among young man of Pakistan has been found that by masturbating on daily basis or more often your time or reaching orgasm and erection effects where studies have proven that by masturbating you can practice and increase your timing including make your erection better during "real" sex.
8. Masturbation can protect you from prostate cancer
There are so many health benefits of masturbation but here I will talk about the most important. You probably don’t know but the rate of prostate cancer is being increasing day by day. There are many reasons behind prostate cancer, but avoiding or delaying your masturbation is one of them. Our sperm got stored in prostate and if does not make it empty after a specific time, the size of prostate increased which is abnormal and classified one of the most dangerous types of cancer. Meanwhile, by masturbating you are also releasing toxins from your prostate as well which affect your overall prostate health. Studies also show that men who masturbate often has fewer chances of getting prostate cancer.
9. Masturbation can stop you to commit sex in real
Probably the easiest fact to explain to boys. Once you masturbate, the desire of having sex gone. Don’t trust me? Try it!!
10. Masturbation can provide you so many health benefits
This does not need to explain. Just tell me, how did you feel after masturbation? Its boost your mood, kill stress, cure depression and you feel so much relax after masturbation. Other than these benefits, masturbation is proven to improve sperm motility, reduces nasal congestion, boost immunity, alleviates urinary tract infection, prevent prostate cancer, relieves cramps and also help you to sleep better.
Bonus: Too much masturbation is actually bad
Indeed, masturbation does not cause something dangerous in term of health but remembered that “too much is bad”. Even drinking too much water can be the cause of death because it removes the amount of sodium from our blood. Same like that, too much masturbation can cause many health problems. So don’t do it too much and try to understand your body. Every person has a different body with different needs.
