Side effects of masturbation
Masturbation doesn’t have any harmful side effects, though some people may feel guilty about masturbating or have issues with chronic masturbation.

Masturbation and guilt
Some people may feel guilty about masturbating because of cultural, spiritual, or religious beliefs. Masturbation is neither wrong nor immoral, but you may still hear messages that self-pleasure is “dirty” and “shameful.” If you feel guilty over masturbating, speak with someone you trust about why you feel this way and how you can move past that guilt. There are also therapists that specialize in sexual health and may be a good resource.

Addiction to masturbation
Some people can and do become addicted to masturbating. You may be spending too much time masturbating if masturbation causes you to:
1.skip your chores or daily activities
2.miss work or school
3.miss important social events
Being addicted to masturbation can have a negative impact on your relationships and other parts of your life. Masturbating too much may interrupt your work or studies, which can lower productivity. It may also hurt your relationships and friendships because you don’t spend as much time with your loved ones as you used to, or don’t pay attention to their needs.
If you’re worried you may be addicted to masturbation, speak with your doctor or a counselor about ways to cut down on masturbating. Talk therapy can help you manage your addiction. You could also cut down by replacing masturbation with other activities. Next time you have an urge to masturbate, try:
1.going for a run
2.writing in a journal
3.spending time with friends

Does masturbation cause a decrease in sexual sensitivity?
For women who have sexual dysfunction, enhanced stimulation, including masturbation, can help increase sexual desire and sensitivity. In fact, two 2009 studies found that vibrator use among women and men has been linked to an increase in desire, arousal, and overall sexual function. Women also reported an increase in lubrication, while men reported better erectile function, according to the studies.

Benefits of masturbation
Masturbation is a healthy sexual activity that has many benefits for your physical and mental health. There are limited studies on the benefits of masturbation, but studies on sexual intercourse and anecdotal reports suggest that sexual stimulation, including stimulation through masturbation, may help you:
1.relieve built-up stress
2.sleep better
3.boost your mood
4.relax
5.feel pleasure
6.relieve cramps
7.release sexual tension
8.have better sex
9.better understand your wants and needs
Couples may also mutually masturbate to explore different desires, as well as avoid pregnancy. Self-pleasuring also helps you prevent sexually transmitted infection.

Masturbation and prostate cancer
Some research suggests that regular ejaculation may lower your risk for prostate cancer, though doctors aren’t exactly sure why. A 2015 study found the risk of prostate cancer decreased by about 20 percent in men who ejaculated at least 21 times a month. An Australian study published in 2003 also discovered a similar link between frequent ejaculation and lower prostate cancer risk. There is no evidence, though, that ejaculating regularly protects against advanced prostate cancer.

Masturbation during pregnancy
Hormone changes during pregnancy cause some pregnant women to feel heightened sexual desire. Masturbation is a safe way to release sexual tension during pregnancy. Self-pleasure may also help ease pregnancy symptoms such as lower back pain. You may feel mild, irregular cramping, or Braxton-Hicks contractions, during and after orgasm. They should fade away. If the contractions don’t disappear and become more painful and frequent, contact your doctor right away.
Masturbation may not be safe for women with high-risk pregnancies because orgasm can increase your chances of labor.

‘Nine out of ten men are lustful, the one color is a big fool’ is the best metaphor for the nature of men.

Lust is the nature of men, also seems to be synonymous of men. No man is not lust, lust is actually a kind of performance of men's appreciation of beauty, so there is such a saying, ‘Lust man is more lovely!’

If you are a man, but blind to the beauty around you, will neverflip when see the fairy beautiful woman, it means that you are a sick man, and this kind of man often can not get a woman's favor and love.

That’s what it says ‘women don’t like men who are not bad’, so lecherous men in life have been more and more accepted by many female friends, men will not change their faces when talk about lust, lust men will not be criticized by public opinion and criticism, on the contrary, lust women seem to be unaccepted by the public, once talk about the lust of woman, people tend to associate with the kind of frivolous and dissolute prostitutes, so women will change their faces when talk about ‘lust’, the word ‘lust’seems very uncoordinated to be with woman, while the word ‘beauty’becomes a special language of women.

Man are lust, woman love beauty, in fact, they are of the same character. ‘Hao’ means like or love in Chinese. ‘Se’ means pretty, beautiful in Chnese. Men are lust, it is nothing more than love for a beautiful woman, intention of getting closer to the pretty woman; women love beauty, it is the performance of lust, women’s appreciations of men were just more subtle, not like men who show so boldly and directly, which may be influenced by several thousand years of feudalism, women are men's accessories, women have been living in the shadow of the men, when women now turned over to be the real master, enjoyed the feminist status, women's lust canreally keep pace withthe men.

A woman's lust is not lost to men, During the first awakening interest in the opposite sex, most of the women will draw the outline of a future prince charming, they hope that love of God shot by Cupid is a good-looking, heavy built man.

There is a saying ‘the desire to look attractive is universal’, whether they are pretty girls or handsome guys, all are pleasant to the eye, nobody could love with an ugly person, no one is willing to face an ugly face all day, unless there is a compelling reason for one to live together with an ugly man, women also love handsome guys, like to make friends or couples with man pleasing to the eye, if the man is not very handsome.

People's pursuit of beauty is as unalterable principlesand understandable, who would not want to face a lovely face all day? Of course, both men and women have the same wish for the opposite sex. Although men behave more obviously and moreoutrageously, men will stop turning the eyeball once they see the beauty, stare at his goal and run at the mouth, while women are just relatively subtle.

To live together with an ugly man will not only affect your mood, but also affect your physical and mental health; while the beauty is refreshing. Of course to judge if one person is beautiful in a deep level, it is not only about the appearance, you may feel that personhas a beautiful soul even though the person is not much to look at, this is of great importance, it can even counteract his (her) external defects and make him(her) look beautiful. Of course, the same, without the beauty of the soul to set off thephysical beauty, after a long time, it will bored people and even cause disgust.

These are in accordance with human nature, because human beings will virtually integrate beauty into consideration, rather than simply look at one single point, he or she will like as long as he or she thinks that he or she is comprehensively beautiful. There is no contradiction.

Some Culturally-Based Differences in Sexual Activity

Across the globe, Before exploring different types of sexuality through various cultures, it is critical to be able to identify what a culture is. Culture is repeated pattern and repetition of language, food, and arts, but some definitions it may vary. There is a wide spectrum of beliefs and practices across many cultures. It is imperative to respect other cultures and their beliefs although they may seem completely taboo. Cultures also tend to dictate the general beliefs a society has about sexual activity. Since there such a vast array of experiences that people identifying with a particular culture encounter, the differences in.1 There is a wide spectrum of beliefs and practices across many cultures. It is imperative to respect other cultures and their beliefs although they may seem completely taboo. Cultures also tend to dictate the general beliefs a society has about sexual activity. Since there such a vast array of experiences that people identifying with a particular culture encounter, the differences in sexuality among cultures discussed in this article do not define all experiences within each culture. For example, the Hindu people of India tend to avoid kissing because they believe that it symbolically contaminates the act of coitus, but that does not mean that all Hindu people share those same beliefs. Sexual activity is comprised of a plethora of subjects, such as kissing, oral sex, masturbation, and foreplay. Culture intersects with sexual activity under all of the subjects discussed in this article.

Kissing:
Although kissing on the mouth is one of the most basic sources of sexual arousal in Western society, it is uncommon or completely absent in many other cultures. Kissing is described as contact created by the mouth, which can be a sign of greeting, love, friendship, passion, or romance. Mouth-to-mouth kissing is seen as very common in Western and European cultures while some cultures, like the Thonga Tribe of South Africa, view kissing very negatively. In a recent study, researchers tested the presence of romantic kissing across 168 cultures and found that only 77 of these cultures (46%) practiced romantic kissing. Some people may think that kissing is commonplace, but it is statistically more common to avoid romantic kissing in a culture than it is to engage in. For example, in some states in India, people have gathered to protest by kissing in public as a way of going against the cultural stigma that surrounds the cultures have other means of affection that can be compared to kissing such as an “Eskimo kiss,” which requires partners to rub their noses together. Among the cultures that kiss, many people simply choose to kiss on the cheek as a greeting to friends and family, while other cultures such as the Greek, greet each other with non-romantic mouth-to-mouth kissing.

Foreplay:
Foreplay is typically categorized as the physical and emotional sexual interactions between partners that lead up to sex. Similarly to kissing, foreplay lies that may include and is not limited to romantic kissing, fondling, sensual touching, and oral sex. Foreplay can comprise of anything that creates sexual arousal. Typically, in Western cultures, foreplay is short and tends always lead up to intercourse. Many Eastern societies engage in foreplay for extended periods of time, as they strive to prolong sexual arousal. At the same time, many cultures (including ones found within Western and Eastern societies) engage in limited amounts of foreplay, or foreplay is completely absent. In Western cultures, these all tend to be short in duration and to be seen as something that leads up to the "main event" of intercourse. Furthermore, some cultures have a completely different definition of foreplay than most cultures. For example, partners from the Trobrian Islanders of Melanesia typically exchange saliva and bite each other’s lips until blood comes out as a way of increasing sexual arousal.

Oral Sex:
Some cultures are very accepting of oral sex while others deem the act to be taboo or morally wrong. Oral sex is when one person provides oral stimulation to a partner’s genitals. In much of the Western world in industrialized parts of Asia and in many island societies of the South Pacific, oral sex is quite common and may even be seen as a natural part of sexual arousal and foreplay. Conversely, some cultures in parts of Africa view oral sex to be highly unnatural, and many religions across the world view oral sex as sinful. Oral sex can be a very erotic form of foreplay that leads to sex or it can be a “main event” that brings sexual pleasure, satisfaction, and possibly even orgasms.
