In general sense, masturbation is the act of exciting the sexual organs by rubbing, stroking, or fondling, pressing or other forms of handling. It is part of the normal sexual development which occurs in adolescent and which everyone indulges in at some point in life. In a more restricted sense, masturbation goes beyond just exciting the sexual organs, that is, in men, not just handling the penis until erection is achieved.

WHY DO PEOPLE MASTURBATE?

Masturbation is a sexual behaviour developed in childhood. This behaviour is normally discarded as the individual grows up into adulthood. It becomes an abnormal situation when it is sustained to adulthood. The following are some of the reasons why masturbation is practiced.

•    Lateness in Getting Married: -The men become fully sexually developed without a steady partner for relieving their sexual arousals. Those who cannot seek sexual relationship with prostitutes often continue the adolescent practice of masturbation.
•    Boarding of Adolescents: - This encourages exchange of information about masturbation and allows room for adventures into it. When such boarding facilities are unisex and far away from where sexual intercourse with the other sex is possible, then masturbation becomes quite rampant.

•    Sex Materials: - With technological advancement comes literature (books, magazines, pictures) and audio-visual materials (films, televisions and videos) which arouse sexual desires in individuals

Over masturbation is actually beneficial when you consider the rate at which STDs are affecting the youth of the world today. Most STDs are transmitted due to unsafe sex with multiple partners. If, instead, a man relieves his sexual desires through masturbation, then at least the chances of infection are zero.

Over masturbation usually corrects itself when the circumstances of the man change. Especially when the man gets married, there is a huge decline in the rate of masturbation. Also when the man involves himself in some activity like sports or working out then the rate of masturbation becomes less.
