The discussion revolves around the myth that excessive masturbation can lead to blindness, with participants largely dismissing this notion as an old wives' tale. They also touch on various other myths related to health, such as getting colds from going outside with wet hair and reading in the dark. The conversation humorously explores the topic of masturbation, with some participants sharing personal anecdotes and opinions about its prevalence among genders. There is a light-hearted debate about whether excessive masturbation can lead to desensitization or interfere with sexual relationships, while others suggest that it may have positive effects, like enhancing sexual performance. The thread evolves into a comedic exchange about conducting scientific experiments on the effects of masturbation, with playful banter and jokes about the topic. Overall, the consensus is that masturbation does not cause blindness or serious health issues, and the discussion highlights the cultural stigma surrounding the subject.

LOL! Maybe it does have an affect on eyesight.

You keep doing that and you'll develop dyslexia!

Sounds worse than hairy palms, or (I seem to remember) zits.

LOL, lysdexia

Furthermore, I can't believe I actually agree with Zero! This really is a crazy universe!

How did I not notice Gale17 was gone?!

selfAdjoint is 70?! He/she's got to be one of like three 70yo on the whole net.

Monique(?) said that 'reading in the dark gives you bad eyesight' is an old wives tale, that's not true is it? It makes sense to me. And let's not forget that not all old wives tales are not true, they proved the one about 'starving a flu and feeding a cold' (I think that's how it goes).

The only thing is that you'd have to strain your eyes, since it is difficult to focus in the dark. The difficulty of focussing can give you a headache or tired eyes, but it won't cause damage.

Kerrie, sounds like you have quite a bit of experience. Perhaps you would be interested in participating in a scientific endevour pertaining to the effects of frequent masturbation. jimmy p has outlined a possible procedure for males. Now we need someone from the opposite sex to propose a procedure for the females.

dduardo...sounds like you have an avid interest in female masturbation due to the lack of female contact in your own social life...perhaps you can acquire a little class and discuss this subject with more maturity:wink:

I wouldn't say that's odd.. In fact I think it's safe to say that ALL guys have a fascination with female masturbation:wink:

I too would love to examine this study.. bet the Kinsey report will have nothing on it.

[?] if I write the opposite, is it proven too? Just to get the facts straight, if mastrubation makes you go blind, intercourse would too.

You guys seem so perverted talking about it.. many experiments have been done on people having intercourse, it is not a wild thing. In the Biology forum there was a thread, where researchers looked at neural brain activity during orgasm.

You said intercourse... heh heh... twice... heh... heh heh...

SO with my return i wonder which thread i should post in first...

yeah no competition... MASTURBATION...

anyways, to anyone who's actually interested, I've actually been doing a pretty serious study of masturbation. I'm thinking of writing a paper sometime. On the side, I've also been delving into orgasms in general. Especially the differenced between 'g-pot' orgasms, and the traditional orgasm. Also, just for fun I've still been toying with "mental sex" and "mental orgasms" and i think i may be able to verify at the very least "mental masturbation."

Also, i thought about putting some info about female orgasms here... but after rereading what i'd written... i think it may have been too informative...

Actually, there are indications that the two are physiologically different.

I think it was in an article in nature in '98 or something linke that.

Masturbation is a lot more fun if you have someone to do it with.

Hey, if you're going to start, you might as well finish.. No one likes to be left hanging:wink: Besides, you know all the guys are hanging on your post.

Got a link to that study? I'm actually interested in that part about the neural activity.

Wasn't it Woody Allen who described masturbation as "sex with someone you love"?

Wow, that was harsh. You won't be seeing anymore photoshopped pictures of you from me anymore.

Talking about maturity see Andy and chroot's reply to Monique. lol

I've already conducted several of my own, uh, studies. On another note, spending the day reading about the stress energy-tensor in curved spacetimes is making me feel that I need to release some of my own energy.

i was reading about fantasies the other day, and came across an interesting fact. People who fantasize often, and have vivid detailed fantasies are usually more intelligent than those who don't. Kinda makes you wonder about the kind of things einstein thought about... or all them other genius'... hmm... guess i must be a genius too then :wink:

And since I'm not sure where else in pf i could say this...
"if you don't believe in oral sex... shut yo mouth!"

That is why I stick to shy girls who hang out in bookstores - very rich fantasy lives. In fact I'm a genius, because I work in a bookstore, it's my job to walk up to such girls and help them find what they are looking for.
