Health Tips - Masturbation

Sunday, November 22, 2009

Masturbation is a common practice with both men and women, and most people have indulged in masturbation at one time or another. It causes no physical harm whatsoever. The problem with masturbation is the guilt felt over the practice, and this often does considerable damage. It used to be popularly believed that forty drops of blood go to make a drop of semen. Semen was considered to be the body’s most precious fluid and it was thought that frequent loss of it would lead to dissipated nerves and mental and physical exhaustion. This, of course, is absurd: ejaculation of semen causes no harm to the body unless it is continued after the body is already totally fatigued.
