Re: The effects of Masturbation. I recently had to take a college psych class on human sexuality, so I figured I'd jump in this thread:
1. Masturbation is perfectly normal (babies masturbate, its part of natural human development)
2. There are no harmful physical or emotional side effects
3. Reduces your risk of prostate cancer (if you're male)
4. Is minorly good for your cardiovascular system (yea I laughed too)
If there are any social side effects (like guilt or low self esteem) its not caused by the masturbating, its caused by your own views on masturbation (for instance, if you fee like you can't get a girlfriend or were brought up to be religiously against masturbation or the like)
Anywho, thats all from professor Citizen.
