Self-Pleasuring Myths: Getting to the Truth

For an activity enjoyed by basically all men, the number of myths about self-pleasuring is nothing short of amazing. Since self-pleasuring often contributes to better male organ health, it’s important that men feel comfortable pleasuring themselves when moved to do so. With that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the myths that have proliferated abount self-pleasuring and get to the truth about them.

Self-pleasuring causes blindness. Or hairy palms. Seriously now? If this one were true, there wouldn’t be an adult male getting around without a seeing eye dog and barbers would spend much more time cutting the hair on hands than on heads. These popular myths developed because of parental desire to keep boys from self-stimulating. Didn’t work now, did it?

Self-pleasuring causes impotence. Quite the opposite for many men. Guys who spend a lot of time gratifying themselves often make much better lovers. They know what their member likes and so are able to better position themselves during coupling to take advantage of that information. They also typically learn more about stamina and so can often delay their seed releases longer than they would otherwise. Yes, there are some men who self-gratify a lot and have trouble engaging in partner sensual activity; but usually this has less to do with self-pleasuring than with other physical or psychological factors.

Cereal dampens the desire to self-gratify. This myth came about because John Harvey Kellogg (founder of Kellogg’s cereals) was very vocally against sensual activity and self-pleasuring. He believed that cereals had a de-stimulating effect on people and could be used to control a young man’s lust. So, corn flakes versus seed release – which is really likely to win?

Men who self-stimulate daily can’t father a child. Very definitely not true – and something any man needs to know before using self-pleasuring as a form of birth control! Studies have demonstrated that even men who self-pleasure daily still produce more than enough seed to score a date with a waiting egg.

Only single men self-gratify. Solo-based sensual activity continues to be a big part of people’s lives even when they are in committed, long-term relationships with frequent partner-based sensual activity. One survey indicates that 70% of married men still self-stimulate regularly.

Young boys who self-pleasure become sensual addicts. Again, if this were true, the world would be overrun with sensual addicts. Self-pleasuring is a normal part of most people’s childhoods and a valuable way for a young person to learn what his body likes and doesn’t like.

Men who self-stimulate frequently get embarrassing public tumescence. Many men walk around with big bulges at inopportune moments – but unless a guy has just been feeling himself up, this has nothing to do with self-pleasuring. (Besides, a lot of guys enjoy sporting an obvious tumescence.)

Self-pleasuring will give a guy a lower voice. It’s hard to trace the logic behind this, except that when an adolescent boy is able to spurt male seed, it is likely that his voice soon will be (or has been) undergoing a change. But there’s no reason to assume that a man with a basso profundo voice self-gratifies more than a man who can hit a high C.

Most self-pleasuring myths have no validity to them, but there is one self-pleasuring tale that is true: Too much rough handling can create a sore member. Using a first-class male organ health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) is one way to address that issue. When the manhood is sore, the skin is often dry, cracked or otherwise distressed. Adding a crème with a combination of moisturizers (such as Shea butter and vitamin E) is essential to providing member skin relief and soothing the sore male organ. When that rough handling has actually caused a loss of sensation, a crème with neuroprotective acetyl L-carnitine can help restore lost sensitivity. This ingredient battles the peripheral nerve damage that can cause a member to experience sensation in a diminished manner. With Man1 Man Oil as part of the daily regimen, a manhood is in much better shape to withstand serious self-pleasuring.
