Masturbation Myths Masturbation has been considered a shameful thing for a very, very long time. The early Jews were exhorted against Onanism, named after Onan who spilled his seed on the ground rather than put it to good use with his wife. The very word "masturbation" comes from the Latin word Masturbare, which is a combination of two Latin words - manus, which means hand, and stuprare, which means "defile". Basically the Romans thought to masturbate was to "defile with the hand." During Victorian times sexual repression reached a pinnacle. Girls would supposedly become infertile if they engaged in improper thoughts about men, and were forced to wear brillo-pad-like gloves to bed at night. Boys, meanwhile, had their hands coated in chemicals that were painful to the genitals, and were forced to wear chastity belts that made nocturnal erections painful. Circumcision was thought to be useful in preventing masturbation. Sex was supposed to be for reproduction only. The Catholic Church still preaches against masturbation even today. Along the way, masturbation has accumulated some spectacular myths. I've trawled around and found a fairly comprehensive list of most of them. According to folk legend, masturbation supposedly:
There's also the theory that masturbation makes you sexually insatiable, and the idea that it "wastes" sperm (where was it going to go?). Then there's the particularly strange idea that 40 drops of blood from the body go to make one drop of semen and thus it's physically debilitating to waste it by masturbating. The fact remains that all of the above are MYTHS. Masturbation is normal and healthy. It is true that 99% of young men masturbate, and the remaining 1% are liars. Now that we've cleared that up, head on over to the list of premium sites offering free porn and get started!
