Masturbation is the sexual activity done by young adults who want to relieve their sexual tension. It has
no harm or side effects on the human body. But if left uncontrolled can have damaging effects on the body
and mind. It does produce psychological distress and affects the person’s emotional well-being. The
unguided and unchecked habit might as well distract the person from other ventures in his/her life.
1 The activity becomes abnormal when it is done in public.
2 It can harm an individual if there is no hygiene that is maintained.
3 It could be injurious to the organ.
4 If one chooses masturbation over sexual intercourse then it becomes a problem for young couples.
5 If it becomes an unending obsession it is critical that one maintains a healthy balance in the lifestyle and
does not let desires rule one. It is all the more important if you are in a role of fulfilling responsibilities or
if you are a career-driven person. These are the cons of masturbation as detailed. Well, there are several
pros to it as well.
1 It relieves a person from sexual tension.
2 It gives the person sexual gratification without the involvement of the partner.
3 It doesn’t come with the risk of pregnancy or transmission of STDs.
4 Masturbation allows the person to explore one’s body and when done along with the partner can lead
to more gratification.
