Young kids and so call "doctors" on the internet say masturbating is okay?

But how can it be "okay" is semen contains large doses of potassium, and Zinc. (zinc is concentrated in semen). Zinc is involved in protein synthesis, muscle contraction, formation of insulin, maintaining acid-base balance, synthesis of DNA, brain functions.

Depletion of these important Micronutrients/Minerals causes fatigue, hair loss, depresion, etc...

So if you think masturbating once a day is "cool", think again.

Over masterbating is very harmful to your body, try to ejaculate only 1,2 or maybe 3 times a week tops.

Also, semen contains other very important minerals such as Sodium, calcium, magnesium, etc, etc....

Do what ever you want it's your body, but it is NOT healthy to masturbate everyday like many people here think.

interesting post - you seem to know alot about the chemistry

Who cares, just take vitamins. LOL.

By this token, having sex more than 2-3 times a week is just as bad for you.

I'm neither young nor a "doctor" and I say yes it's OK. Just don't get it into your eye, it hurts.

But do you know that by masturbating, you reduce the risk of Prostate cancer significantly?

This isn't a question, And theres nothing wrong with masturbation, as long as you replenish those nutrients lost I don't see the problem. How is masturbation any different than having sex once a day? It's not.

I think somebody is just pissy they didn't get their 10 points, wah wah wah go cry me a river.

wow! i never thought that your thing was very nutritious......well why not try to have some after releasing some..after all the nutrients will just go back right?

Young kids and so call "doctors" on the internet say masturbating is okay?

Wha?!

So if they have wet dreams each night, they'll what - die?

Please! Kids consume so much food by the time they start choking the chicken that the sort of loss you're talking about doesn't even register.

Whether semen contains these nutrients or not is irrelevant.

The testes will have already MADE the semen and it's ready to go at will whenever it's needed -- so that zinc and potassium has already been used. Masturbation, once the semen has already been created within the body, is not going to somehow change the makeup of the semen and break down the zinc and potassium in it to redistribute to the body.

Additionally, semen production is pretty slow on average, and in the time it would take to reproduce the same amount of semen post-ejaculation, a normal human would have already had at least two meals. This would provide more than sufficient nutrients.

But if I give you benefit of the doubt and say that what you're saying is true (which I don't believe it is anyway) -- what does that say about female masturbation? Hmmmm. ^_~

Give me so facts, buddy. I know a lot about sexuality and I have NEVER heard about this, even after searching it, I still can't find a thing about it...other than disproving the whole idea. Where on earth did you get your info from?! You are sooo misinformed! The amount of ejaculate that you lose isn't sufficient enough to effect your body in any significant way. You constantly are reproducing these nutrients and replenishing your body with them. Maybe you wouldn't be so uptight about the whole situation if YOU masturbated a little more often. :-D

So basically you know more that experts and medical professionals?

Show us your medical degrees. And links to medical studies and journals supporting your claims.

Semen purpose is to provide a nutritive and protective medium for the spermatozoa during their journey through the female reproductive tract.

You wont die from masturbation.

Besides you lose more nutrient and minerals by perspiration and urination alone. So are you going to urinate and perspire two or three time a week?

If you are worried about nutrients eat healthy food, and take vitamins.

Ah, but the minerals in your semen have already been placed somewhere in your body that is not beneficial to you! You are sadly mistaken if you think the zinc in your semen is going to keep your hair falling out. In fact, since many masturbaters consume their own ejaculate (arguably the simplest way to clean up the mess), it really just provides another opportunity for people to reclaim these lost nutrients and put them to better use in their body. And the actual volume of a normal person's ejaculate is very small, and in fact decreases if you masturbate regularly. At any rate, one can obtain vitamins, minerals and dietary supplements of all sorts easily and cheaply enough in the modern world. Fish oils are particularly beneficial and nutrient-rich.
