Masturbation is a way of releasing pent up sexual energy. Most people start masturbating at the time of puberty. With changes in an individual's hormonal profile during puberty, there is a surge of sexual energy which can be released with the help of masturbation. Masturbation is reported more in males than in females. More than a physiological difference in libido, this may be due to sociological taboos on females. Females also tend to discontinue or reduce masturbation when they form sexual relationships.
Is masturbation harmful?
This is the biggest myth surrounding masturbation. If indulged in moderation, masturbation, on the contrary, is a healthy practice that releases sexual energy. According to doctors and health practitioners orgasms is good for the heart and blood, and can reduce risks of prostate/testicular cancer and other health problems. it relieves stress, aggression, and can calm you down and relieve headaches. Other myths surrounding the act are that it reduces virility by making the semen less thick thereby reducing the chances of a man to bear children. This is totally untrue. Masturbation does not cause any loss of strength or virility in a person.
What are the other myths surrounding masturbation?
Masturbation is unhealthy ? masturbation per se does not cause any health hazards. It is not an unhealthy habit. However, it may be mentally unhealthy if it assumes obsessive proportions and the individual is unable to think of anything else. It may also have physical repercussions if the instrument used to masturbate is dirty or infected.
Can one stop masturbating?
One can stop masturbating if one wants to. Just as one can live without indulging in sex, one can also stop masturbating with some will power. However, since the activity has nothing to be ashamed of has no health hazards and most people do it, there is no scientific reason to discontinue it. If one still wishes to discontinue, then the sexual energy may need to be channeled into alternative physical activities.
My recommendation? Watch porn only once a week and masturbate only once every other day.
Being lazy, self conscious, and "seeing stars" have nothing to do with you sexual activity. as for not finding girls attractive, there is more out there than just being gay bi or straight. you might be asexual (don't find girls or boys attractive) and you might be pansexual (are attracted to people not by there gender but by who they are as a person) etc. etc.
