Is Masturbating Healthy? - Dr. David Lay

Dr. David Ley Dec 8, 2019

Dr. Ley took a question from a young man whose very framing of the question needed to be explored. He assumed that since he masturbated every day, there was something wrong with him — and he asked Dr. Ley if he could ever be cured. Dr. Ley responded light-heartedly, explaining that masturbation is incredibly healthy and natural. — Stripchat Sexuality Resource Center

“I’ve been masturbating for seven years continuously, almost every day. Is there any hope of recovering from this period of masturbation?” And the guy that asks the questions is 22 years old.

I’m going to tell you, there’s nothing to recover from, because masturbation is one of the healthiest human sexual behaviors we know of.

There’s no risk for infection. And interestingly, people who masturbate more, men who have sex more, live longer. So you’re 22 now, if you keep this up, you’re going to live to 150, I promise. There’s nothing to recover from. Masturbating every day at the age of 22 is normal. It’s healthy, it’s human. I’m proud of you. I’m glad you’re here. Take care of yourself and we’ll see you in what? 2300? Hopefully I live that long too.
