Most people have physical needs, but many men worry that DIY can harm their health. In response, urologist Zhu Xincheng posted an explanation of four myths about masturbation, saying it is a perfectly normal physiological phenomenon. As long as it is practiced in a healthy way, it can be a positive force in life.
Zhu Xincheng recently said on Facebook that many people believe masturbation harms their health, but masturbating in moderation is actually a healthy practice. It is not only harmless, but can also help relieve stress, improve sleep, and even increase sexual satisfaction. However, he emphasized that “moderation” varies from person to person. If you find that masturbation causes fatigue, distracts you, or interferes with your life, adjust the frequency and give your body adequate rest.
Next, Zhu Xincheng clarified the misconception that “masturbation causes sexual dysfunction.” He pointed out that this claim is nonsense. Research shows that masturbation can actually help men become familiar with their body’s responses, further improving their sexual performance. However, excessive frequency may affect sexual sensitivity, but this is not sexual dysfunction and can be addressed by making appropriate adjustments.
In addition, Zhu Xincheng addressed the myth that “masturbation makes your sex life worse.” He said that masturbating in moderation can help relieve stress and may even improve premature ejaculation in some cases. However, excessive frequency may lead to delayed ejaculation or reduced sensitivity during sex, in which case you should reassess your lifestyle habits.
Finally, Zhu Xincheng stressed that the claim that “masturbation has no benefits” is false. He said that masturbating in moderation can lower the risk of prostate disease, effectively relieve tension and stress, and also help you understand your own body, which can contribute to developing a healthy attitude toward sex.
Zhu Xincheng recommends practicing moderation and avoiding excessive preoccupation, while developing good habits such as exercising regularly, maintaining a normal sleep schedule, and eating a balanced diet. The key is to keep your body more energetic. If you have concerns, seek help from a medical professional to address them promptly and put your mind at ease. Zhu Xincheng’s final reminder is that masturbation is an entirely normal physiological phenomenon and there is no need to worry excessively. As long as it is practiced in a healthy way, it can be a positive force in life.
