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.

And you will get a cold when you go outside with wet hair, your face will freeze when you pull a weird facial expression at midnight, reading in the dark is bad for your eyes, spilling salt on the table means bad luck..

No worries, those are all old wives tales :)

If it is, be sure and stop while you only need glasses.
 
Monique, how would old wives know about male issues?

decibel, why don't you try and go outside once in a while. Maybe get a girlfriend.

...Where is Gale17 when you need her?

decibel,
Sorry I can't help with your question, but I'm sure you can expect numerous pages of info from Gale17 when she sees this...it's right up her alley

Well, I was assuming decibel was a he. Now that you put it that way, what's your experience on the female side

I am 70 years old and neither blind nor crazy. And I'm normal.

99 out of a hundred people masturbate, and 100th one is a liar.

As long as you can read this, you're probably ok.
Providing your back isn't killing you.

*semi-seriously now*

I have believed a few women when they informed me they never engaged in this activity, thinking it either vile, or never seeming to have thought about it in the first place. I have never, ever, known a man who hadn't done it.

Perhaps some statistics are available to determine if men need glasses more often than women?

Anyone who says they've never masturbated is either lying, or waaaaay too uptight. I bet 90 percent of that 11% of women who claim they never masturbated are lying

But I'm not the authority. I'm sure Dr Gale Westhiemer will be along shortly with her dissertation on sexual attitudes towards masturbation in new guinea subcultures. :wink:

Perhaps if you shot yourself in the eye repeatedly.

If you're doing that ... um ... stop.

Excessive masturbation can be a problem, but really only if it interfere's with other parts of your sex life, or leads to desensitization.

Then again, a lot of women will tell you that male desensitization is a good thing. :wink:

...and i clicked on this thread cos i thought it was an interesting name to draw people in because they only pretend not to be curious, but no, u ARE actually talking about masturbation. oh well. I have often been informed by one of my friends that he can reach his chest with his...load. so he has no worries about sticking his eyelashes together..

what i HAVE heard about masturbation is that

- People who masturbate often are usually better in the sack
- Like sex, masturbation is good for the body because it removes the toxins/stimulates production of endorphines/whitens your teeth in your sleep of whatever happens

so happy self stimulation everyone!

Since this is a science forum maybe we could scientifically answer decibel's questions. Perhaps a lab experiment could bring insight into this subject. Decibel has already proposed the hypothesis in his questions. All that is need to do now is setup the experiment and write up a lab report with the following sections - purpose, procedure, equipment, data and calculations, graphs, error anaylsis and conclusion.

Whoever decides to do this can submit their findings to this thread.

what do you mean? should we inject sperm into peoples eyes and see

a) what happens when sperm enters the eye
b) How many colours of faeces can be beaten out of you

Do we measure body proportions and projectile distance to see if it is actually possible for sperm to enter the eye? Or do we find a subtle undiscovered link between the penis (hehe) and the eyes or back? For that matter, how does masturbation cause back problems, unless you masturbate in awkward spine twisting positions...

OOH see the effect of masturbating while

a) Reading the Kama Sutra and 'having a go yourself'
b) Masturbation while practising back-wrenching yoga'
c) A mixture of both

Who wants to volunteer first?

Imagine a jar sitting there on the table in front of a nice three-panel science fair presentation. The jar is labeled "Jar of Conclusions."

Better yet, you could recycle the conclusion and use it to glue the papers to your nice three-panel science fair presentation.

chroot, that's a great idea. We could then sell our secret super adhesive formula to the Scotch Tape company. We'll be millionaires in no time.
 
  • #31
ok i have an idea, here it is
someone in this forum masterbaites 7 times a day for 7 days, and then tell us the effects

deal?

You keep doing that and you'll develop dyslexia!

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

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).
 
  • #37
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.

so i see i was RIGHT, it does make you go blind, as sonny proved in his post, but it seems rather unofficial

[?] 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.

HEEHEE, she said the O word!

Monique,

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.
