Q: I am just writing in to ask a question about masturbation. I am a guy and really enjoy the act of sitting alone in my room and "taking care" of myself every now and then. By every now and then I mean multiple times a day. Can someone over-masturbate? I've heard it can cause bad eyesight.
Thanks,

So, I've finally been getting some emails from readers on my gmail account (MiddSexGuy@gmail.com) that I feel I might be qualified to answer. This email caught my eye, because masturbation is a topic that concerns everyone. There have been studies on masturbation for years starting with Dr. Kinsey back in 1948 and 1953. Back then, 92 percent of men and 62 percent of women admitted to having masturbated. Pretty high numbers for an age where many believed that playing with yourself could cause blindness and insanity. Today, masturbation is a much more accepted act. Many doctors view it as a healthy practice that has considerable benefits such as a reduced risk in prostate cancer for men, and a tension release for both men and women. Basically, masturbation can make you happy. There are a lot of myths and misinformation out there about masturbation; but now, there is also a lot of good information combating these myths and providing a fresh look at it.
With regard to your question, OMG (love the acronym by the way), technically, guys cannot over-masturbate. One good response that I found to your query was from www.jackinworld.com, the self-proclaimed "Ultimate Male Masturbation Resource." The site states, "Unless you're rubbing yourself raw (try lubrication) or you're doing it so much that it's interfering with other aspects of your life, no, it is not possible to masturbate too much". They claim that the only resources selling over-masturbation are trying to sell their own individual products or what not. Also, masturbation causing blindness and poor eyesight is one of the more common myths surrounding male masturbation. The reality is that masturbation and eyesight have nothing to do with one another unless you somehow injure your eyes during the act.
