Masturbation: your burning questions answered
There are so many myths around masturbation that it’s not surprising people have lots of questions about it. We answered your main queries. Karibuni!
Is it ‘evil’?
Medically, the answer is a firm ‘no’. Culturally, and especially from a religious point, the answer is far more complicated. Some cultures and religions are very open to masturbation and see it as a normal practice. Others, however, say it’s wrong and even evil.
In the end, you are the only one who can decide whether you want to do it or not. If in doubt, talk to someone you trust to get their input.
Is it bad for women?
Masturbation is a healthy habit, for people of all ages. Don’t worry about the negative things you may have heard about self-love: they are all myths! Masturbation isn’t harmful from a medical standpoint. On the contrary: it can teach you a lot about yourself, your body, and what brings you pleasure.
How do men masturbate?
Men usually masturbate by stroking or rubbing their penis at different speeds and intensities until they are aroused and have an orgasm. Many men fantasize about sex or watch porn while they do it. All of that is completely normal.
What’s the effect of it?
Masturbation can be great for stress relief, and it has even been shown to increase your levels of happiness. And, of course, it provides sexual satisfaction. Through masturbation, you also get to know your body, your likes and dislikes.
You may have heard that masturbation causes weak erections, infertility, premature ejaculation, and blindness but those are all myths. Otherwise, there would be far fewer babies in this world.If someone has masturbated for a long time, can they still stop?
Yes, absolutely, but you don’t really have to. Masturbation is a normal part of a healthy sex life.
However, very few people will become addicted to masturbation. If you find yourself having a hard time concentrating or falling asleep if you don’t masturbate a few times a day, you may have a problem. Please seek help from a professional if you think you have an addiction problem.Can it affect man’s power during sex?
No, that’s another myth. Self-love neither makes a man (or woman) weaker during sex, nor does it affect the quality or quantity of sperm.
If you are having sex after a long dry-spell during which you have only masturbated, you might experience either premature or delayed ejaculation, as you are unfamiliar with the sensations. This should change quickly though, as you have more sex.Does it lower a person’s self-esteem as it is associated with the fear of discovery and humiliation?
If it does, this is due to a person’s environment. Things only become shameful if you are told that they are something you should be ashamed about.
Masturbation is natural and healthy, and there is nothing to be ashamed of if you do it.
Does masturbation have an effect on wet dreams?
Yes. Wet dreams generally happen when men aren’t very sexually active and sperm isn’t being released. So, if you aren’t having a lot of sex and would like to stop the wet dreams, you can masturbate and reduce the chance of having nocturnal emissions.

Hi Mburu,
Thank you for your contribution. This article is based on factual information. While there can be effects such as possible addiction, masturbation is totally safe when done right.

Hi Winston,

Hi Winston,
First, masturbation does not directly cause erectile dysfunction in men. Many men have trouble getting or maintaining an erection at some point in their lives. Some factors that are known to cause erectile problems are performance anxiety, lack of attraction to a partner, a negative body image, a lack of self-esteem, problems in relationships, or using alcohol or other drugs. Perhaps what we should be talking about is addiction and the effects it can have on your life. If you cannot focus on other everyday things such as work, school, hanging out with friends, then yes, it’s time to stop.
It all depends with you…
It all depends with you brother, if you feel it’s bad for you, then don’t do it. But don’t tell everyone not to do it, for me I do it and I’m not ashamed about it. I would stop only at my own choice. Thanks for your opinion though, but remember, you can advice someone but you can’t make them change. The decision is always mine. I’m in charge of my life.

Love comes in many different forms. The people you love are usually the ones you feel happiest with.
Usually a relationship starts when two people fall in love. They may begin seeing each other on dates.
Love develops in stages, and doesn’t always follow the same pattern. But in most cases love begins with the passion of sexual attraction, then the dreamy, overwhelming ‘in love’ stage, and finally the deeper attachment that develops over time and can last for years – sometimes for a lifetime.

Excessive masturbation for both men and women has serious consequences despite what most sexperts advise.
Over-masturbation can lead to urinary incontinence.
You risk getting scar tissue or rough tissue around your genitals and clitoris which can lead to painful swelling and complications. The vagina needs plenty of lubrication to work the way it was meant to. If you are masturbating without the benefit of lubricants, you are on the way to causing serious damage to yourself.

Hi Justine, Masturbation will not cause a reduction in sex interest toward your partner now or in the future. Some people will choose to masturbate since they are not in a relationship at the time or their partner is away. It is a safe and healthy way to explore your sexuality including sexual satisfaction. Also, sex is just one side of a relationship there is so much more about a relationship and what it provides that leads to sex intimacy.

Hey Skizo, one should have sex when they are mature which includes physical maturity and emotional maturity. One should have sex when they feel they are ready for it, they are with the right person and that it is the right time. This can be any age, however legally in most countries one is not allowed to have sex with a person who is less than eighteen years. It is important to take time and think about these things before deciding to have sex. Lastly, remember, it is important to use protection to prevent unplanned pregnancy and Sexually Transmitted Infections.

Hello Juani, thank you for…
Hello Juani, thank you for getting in touch and we are sorry you are going through a hard time.
What you are experiencing is known as Premature Ejaculation, which is caused by a number of reasons including fear, anxiety, or even stress. The anxiety that one will not perform can make him ejaculate much earlier or stress from home or work. In other cases, particularly in young men it could be the result of sexual inexperience, and so as the young man gets older he also gains more experience in controlling ejaculation.
There are a few things you can do to improve control and last longer. In the short term, you can take short breaks during intercourse, you can also apply firm pressure underneath the penis during intercourse to push blood out of the penis hence decreasing sexual tension, distract yourself to think about other non sexual things or use penis desensitizers. Penis desensitizers come in the form of sprays and creams that can be applied on the penis minutes before intercourse and they help to delay ejaculation. Sometimes a condom can help reduce the sensitivity of the penis.
In the long term one can ensure they eat healthily and avoid lots of processed foods, begin to exercise which improves blood flow in the body, reduce or eliminate the use of alcohol including smoking and more importantly reduce stress during intercourse. Foreplay will also play a critical role in preparing your partner and getting them closer to an orgasm.

Anytime a girl has vaginal sex with a guy, she is at risk of becoming pregnant.

Hello Anonymous, reaching…
Hello Anonymous, reaching out to people that you are attracted to can be difficult because of the fear of being rejected. However, they are no different than how would approach a friend, family, or another person. The initial hello and coming up with small talk is the same idea except for the person in front of you is attractive.
The best way to do this when you are nervous is to talk to people who share the interest. Do they go to school with you? Are they working? Did you meet them at the movies? This way there is already a commonality between you and it gives you the first conversation topic. Find other people who like what you like and try to mingle from there.
Otherwise, just be honest. Tell them who you are, why you approached the (they said something smart, they like the same team, you find them beautiful, etc) and then build the conversation from there. Tell them about yourself, and ask questions about them. You are attracted to them and ideally, as you learn more about them you will become interested in them.
Everyone has nerves and the girls know that. They will be flattered that you even tried to reach out and talk.
We will be sending you positive thoughts, and feel free to ask any other questions as they arise.

Hello Anonymous, thank you…
Hello Anonymous, thank you for getting in touch and asking a great question. The reason you ejaculate quicker when masturbating is probably because you are more aware of what arouses you physically than your partner. If you would like to ejaculate faster while having sexual intercourse, it may be wise to have a conversation with your partner about what you like to feel and experience while having sex. Show her this article too, it will help: https://lovemattersafrica.com/making-love/orgasms/his-orgasms
Also, do you watch pornography while you masturbate? If you do, then you need to remember to manage expectations. Pornography is fiction and fantasy, meaning, it is not real and expecting your partner to behave or react in the same way would not be fair to them so always keep this in mind when getting involved with someone sexually.
Otherwise, have a wonderful week ahead and stay safe buddy!

How can I stop it??
How can I stop it??
Hello Alpha, thank you for…
Hello Alpha, thank you for reaching out to us. If you are absolutely sure you want to stop, you should know that it will not be easy. This is because sex leads to the release of endorphins which is better known as the pleasure hormone. Second, masturbation has now become part of your arousal template which is the total amount of thoughts, activities, stimuli, smells etc. that arouse a person sexually.
To stop masturbating, you will need to identify the things that lead you to masturbate like seeing something, or just boredom. Also, when you get the urge to masturbate occupy yourself with another activity.
Please note that it could take you 21 days to 6 months to work on this and it might not work. If you are really committed, try and find a counselor or a therapist to help you through. Good luck!

Hi Moze,
Not all women scream and moan loudly during sex. Some women are silent and it does not mean that they are not enjoying sex. Also, the size of your penis does not determine whether a woman screams during sex or not. It is important to talk to your girlfriend and find out whether she enjoys sex. This will be important as it will help you either improve your sex life or keep doing what you are doing.

Hi Dog,
That is totally possible. Just avoid things that make you want to masturbate, get busy with other things such as work, school, or hobbies. If you are unable to stop on your own, talk to a sex therapist who can help you beat the addiction (if you are addicted).

I’m not always ashamed about…
I’m not always ashamed about masturbation, in fact, I do tell my friends that “huwa nanjonga monkey”, and it’s climax is sweet just like normal sex. I think there’s nothing immoral about doing it so long as you’re not guilty about it. However, like anything else, it has side effects. The negative effect of masturbation for me is that I lost feelings for real sex to some extent and I usually cum very fast when I get to fuck a real pussy. I’m even single coz I don’t really need a girlfriend when I can fuck myself.
Hi Mike,
Interesting. So,…
Hi Mike,
Interesting. So, do you mean to say that before you started masturbating you had a higher desire for sex but after starting masturbation, the desire went down? Do you think that this may be because you get more pleasure from masturbation than real sex? When you say you come very fast, how much time are we talking about? One minute? Two? Six? How many?
Also, as long as masturbation does not prevent you from going to work, focus on tasks you are doing, hanging out with friends, etc, then you should be good.
