What is excessive masturbation?

Masturbation is an aphrodisiac. Many times, people get addicted to this pleasurable activity. One of the reasons behind this is that during masturbation, 'feel good chemicals' such as dopamine and endorphins are released in the brain, which make the mind feel good, relieve mental problems like depression and anxiety to a large extent. These 'feel good chemicals' trigger the brain to repeat the stimulating activity. As a result, masturbation can become addictive. It can be said that if one is engaged in masturbation and related thoughts for most of the day, it is becoming excessive. Sometimes this habit becomes so consuming that the addicted person starts masturbating without any thought. As a result of this, he has to fall into trouble in society and at work. Healthy relationships fail or fail. Even problems such as infertility may arise indirectly.Healith uk

Excessive masturbation and male infertility

Healith ukStudies have so far found no effect of masturbation on men's inability to become fathers. On the contrary, as in normal sexual activity, the elimination of old sperm during masturbation increases the production of new healthy sperm. As a result, some recent studies have claimed that the quality and number of sperm in men increases. Studies have also shown evidence that masturbation increases sperm concentration and motility. Now the question is, when and how does masturbation cause problems?

 

Generally speaking, if a man does not ejaculate for 2-3 days, the best quality sperms are found in his semen. So when the birth of a child is the goal, it is better to stop masturbation two to three days before intercourse. Even with assisted insemination, experts advise not to have sex or masturbate two to three days before depositing semen in the laboratory.

 

Now let's talk about the harmful aspects of excessive masturbation. If you masturbate more than once a day, it will have a bad effect on the fertility process. Especially if masturbating multiple times a day continues for a week or even four days in a row. Normally, a man's body produces about 1,500 sperms per second and approximately 300 million sperms are released each time he ejaculates. Excessive masturbation causes more sperm to leave the body than it produces.

 

It also has another negative effect on those who use 'sex-toys' for masturbation. Cheaper 'sex-toys' are made of lower quality materials. In this case, exposure to harmful chemicals reduces the production of sperm and it is of poor quality. 'Sex-toys' also contain some chemicals that disrupt the hormonal balance, there is a possibility of cancer.

In addition, psychological problems associated with excessive masturbation directly affect penile erection, impotence and ejaculation. A person addicted to masturbation can have problems in their marital life, which affects fertility.

 Masturbation and female infertility?

No association was found between masturbation and infertility in women. Because girls don't have the same sexual arousal as boys do with the process of conception, nor do orgasms have anything to do with ovulation. Every month after menstruation, a single egg is released from the woman's body, which arrives in the fallopian tube. If a sperm fertilizes the egg within 12-24 hours then the embryo is formed. And if the egg is not fertilized, it naturally leaves the body during menstruation. Therefore, no direct or indirect relationship between female masturbation and fertility was found. Rather, masturbation reduces depression and anxiety, which helps in conceiving a child.
