Re: Interesting link about masturbation

Well, perhaps the reason that men who have frequent sex live longer and healthier lives is because they are not just ejaculating, but they arein a relationship that also spurs on a healthier lifestyle. It's well-known that married men live longer than singles. This could very well be because everything about one's live is affected by a love relationship.

Masturbating is totally different. It's simply a release and may or may not be part of a more risky lifestyle. I'm not saying that if you masturbate it's the same as having high risk sex - just that the relationship is what dictates how you treat yourself.

The question brought to mind the effect of an abortion or a miscarraige has on a woman's body. A miscarraige is a totally natural phenomenon. When the body rejects the fetus because of something gone wrong, the body reacts accordingly and it is a natural process whereby the hormones are absorbed and the body returns to it's pre-prenant state with very little trouble.

When one has an abortion, however early, it is not a natural process and is rather a shock to one's system. The whole body is affected and the hormones go out of whack. One's body has trouble adjusting and the risk of Breast Cancer (as well as a higher risk of not being able to become pregnant in the future) is increased because of it.

Could be that just because one can do something doesn't necessarily mean it is a good thing to do. Besides the question posed above, masturbation can also get in the way of sexual relations with another because as you become accustomed to a certain sensation (which with masturbation tends to be quite concentrated) one may become a bit desensitized and it makes it more difficult when one finally does have sexual relations with another - unless that person stimulates you in the same way you self stimulate.
