Patient's question:
Regarding the topic we just discussed, I know masturbation is bad, but sometimes sex with a partner doesn't satisfy me. It's hard to achieve the same effect as shower masturbation, and sometimes I don't feel anything during sex with my partner. I know I can't break free from this masturbation method.Since I've broken up with my ex-boyfriend, I'm more inclined to this form of masturbation.
Could you please answer the following:
1. Does a woman really not feel anything when having sex with a man who lacks emotional connection?
2. Will my inability to break free from masturbation affect future sexual life?
3. I'm a bit afraid of contacting men.
Doctor's answer:
The impact of masturbation on physical and mental health shows significant gender differences. Generally, moderate masturbation does no harm to men and can even be beneficial for relieving sexual tension; however, masturbation by unmarried women, even if infrequent, may cause varying degrees of harm. Frequent and intense masturbation can lead to multiple adverse consequences, with the most prominent being infertility. According to relevant surveys, the incidence of masturbation among teenagers has been on a clear upward trend in recent years, which is partly related to some promotional messages claiming it is harmless, as well as to the increasingly open social atmosphere and excessive sexual content in many media. As a result, the incidence of female infertility has also increased simultaneously.
