Patient's question:
How can masturbation reach climaxDoctor's answer:
Hello: Although masturbation and sexual intercourse both lead to sexual climax, I personally believe there are significant differences between them. Masturbation, I think, does not harm the body.

Individuals often engage in it secretly, fearing discovery by colleagues, classmates, or parents, accompanied by a sense of fear and anxiety. Moreover, after doing so, they often feel guilty and inferior. Masturbation primarily creates psychological burdens. This prolonged suppression can lead to pale complexion and damage to health.

This can result in premature ejaculation. In clinical practice, when investigating the history of patients with sexual dysfunction, many report frequent masturbation. Therefore, we should be realistic and state that we cannot adopt a stance of "masturbation is harmless." I personally disagree with this.
