    In my opinion there is absolutely NO reason why you should stop. It is perfectly healthy and normal.

      No..masturbation is not always perfectly normal and healthy. Habitual masturbation can cause a whole host of problems. Just to name a couple of problems: 1. Habitual masturbation can eventually cause a decrease in sensation..leading to an inability to have an orgasm.  2. Habitual masturbation can lead to an inability to enjoy sex with a partner. It can cause other problems too....especially if you combine masturbation with pornography. Bad for you in many respects. Look it up if you don't believe me. And, as for quitting masturbation..it is like quitting a drug,  and you have to treat the problem like an addiction. Try to get help from a Sex Addiction counselor. And, gr8fulwoman..don't be telling someone who is asking for help to quit an addiction, to keep right on doing it. Obviously, it has become a problem or..they wouldn't be asking for help.

      vgns96405  If your masturbation habit is truly an addiction, and you are unable to stop, I would recommend you seek some help in the field of Sex Addiction. This is not my area of expertise. You can find a ton of info online to help you. What you choose for help, obviously depends on what you're looking for. Some seek help in their own community from a Sex Addiction counselor. Others attend 12 step programs that help people with alcohol, drug and sex addictions. Some people find online programs that are very helpful. And still others, will take the spiritual route for help. It really depends on what you feel comfortable doing, and what will best serve your needs. Good luck to you; I hope you find what you are looking for.

    Jeannie, first of all, there's no need to be so nasty to me. There are many young people who feel guilty about masturbating and do NOT have an addiction and that was all I was addressing. I totally agree with you regarding masturbation and pornography.

      gr8fulwoman  I am sorry if I sounded nasty. I didn't mean to. I'm in the medical field, and I was just trying to state some facts quickly and easily. I guess my abruptness came across as nastiness, and for that I am truly sorry. I hope you will forgive me.
