I remember growing up, and having heard stories from others, that, there is a certain stigma associated with masturbation. In case nobody in here remembers. Most men have an important entire LANK of skin cut off from them when they are babies. This is trauma. It's hard enough to come out of a nice comfy womb, then to have the most sensitive part of your sensitive baby body be met with a razor.
The reason the foreskin is removed, if I am not mistaken (and I may be, but I doubt it heavily), is basically because some religion somewhere decided it would be a good way to prevent young men from masturbating.
Now that I have digressed a bit from my main point. I am reinforcing the idea that there is 'stigma' associated with masturbation at a very archaic level, especially in jewish/christian circles. Now I remember growing up hearing my other peers and others peers talk about how they don't **********, they find some one to, 'get with', basically (at a YOUNG age I was hearing this from my male AND female peers). This is another prod at masturbation. We grow up with the idea that *** is bad (mainly because *** before marriage could spoil heirs or dowry's and or just **** up 'plans'), on top of this, we grow up with the idea masturbation is bad.
So I do believe the 'no-***' challenge is just a sort of neo-stigmatization of masturbation in general. It's hard enough being single, now you need to feel bad for being single and having a labido.
I personally do believe A LOT of **** out there is ****** up. REALLY ****** up. So are a lot of sexual encounters. So is *** in general even in these modern times. I am of the opinion VERY few people make it into adult hood with out having received some sort of sexual trauma/shock/embarrassment to some degree, either it be massive embarrassment, all the way to the stuff I as man, personally can't even imagine.
Suffice to say, I think the no-*** challenge stuff is just as much of a croc as all this 'cleansing' stuff and all the other crazy things people do to themselves.
By all means if you find yourself in a bunker filling gallon jars of spooge by the week and growing hair on your palms (joking), lol, then sure maybe take a break and get out there a little, nothing wrong with with that. However, plain and simple... There are only so many times in a day you can honestly milk the damn thing, and I doubt it would take much more than an hour (collectively) to reach the daily max.
That's my take. I'm not going to do the whole male vs. female masturbation thing. There may be some points to be made there as well; but, on both sides. I say ********** while you still can. One day you will be old, and the damn thing won't work anymore. Use that as your motivation to get your life out of whatever rut you feel your in.
I say what's healthier is if you are a righty become a lefty and vice versa. That's interesting. And you can give up masturbating entirely if you want to, but you are still going to have wet dreams, cause that old spunk needs to get refreshed, if you don't do it yourself, your body will, and your body is a part of you, so you will no matter what anyway.
