1. Pros:

   – reproductive organ health
   – stress relief
   – endorphin rush
   – learning and discovery of one’s own body

   Cons:

   – ~~religious guilt~~ none

2. There is a meme that states something to the effect of, “You do realize that masturbation feels like pizza tastes, right?”

   There are two downsides that come to mind. One is male-only, inasmuch as your partner may occasionally offer partnered sex immediately after you’ve masturbated. The other is that it seems like it could become addictive if you let it get out of hand.

3. If you suffer from premature ejaculation, masturbating on a regular basis will help you learn how your body works, and also give your pelvic floor a workout. Stronger pelvic floor muscles lead to a better sexual experience. More pleasure, better performance.

4. Increases in prolactin will make you slightly less masculine than if you only did it once a week. Slightly less hard, slightly less horny. Is more noticeable if you do distance cardio. You may find that you can’t take the pain as easily than if you didn’t for 4+ days and it is more difficult. But other than that 2-3 times a week isn’t excessive or anything.

5. Ejaculation has a refractory period which affects some men more than others, resulting in less sex drive and mental energy, and even depression. However edging yourself for weeks can open up a whole new world of pleasure!

6. Why are you asking about the advantages of masturbation when you’re working to not masturbate? (I looked at your post history)
