Patient's question:
Regarding the topic we just discussed, I know masturbation is not good, 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 habit.Since I've broken up with my ex-boyfriend, I'm more inclined to this form of masturbation.
I have a few questions:
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 effects of masturbation on physical and mental health show significant differences between genders. Generally, moderate masturbation does no harm to men and can even be beneficial in relieving sexual tension. However, for unmarried women, masturbation, even if infrequent, may cause varying degrees of harm, while frequent and intense masturbation can lead to multiple adverse consequences, the most prominent being infertility. According to relevant surveys, the incidence of masturbation among teenagers has been on a 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.
