Hi,

the best of physicians in the world don't say that masturbation is harmful, and only the quacks call it harmful. and your question in itself answers the situation, if masturbation is considered harmful then even sex should be considered harmful as they are nearly the same, both giving pleasure and both involving ejaculation.
its rather good to masturbate when you do not have a partner to have sex with since controlling your desire for too long can lead to both physical and mental problems.

Dear Ugly,
Masturbation is not harmful for body as it is one type of method for getting sexual gratification practised by most of the males or females during their life for safe and fast orgasm.
It is also method of sex without involvement of any other person.
It is generally practised by all youths druing their bachlour life and some even continue after marriage as a habit.

Hope everything is clear with you and you would not supress your sexual drive by stopping sexual drive and go for any unsafe sex partner or unsafe sexual relation which may give you gift of STD's or AIDS,
thanks,jignesh

Masturbation is done by using hands. But during sex, the sperms ejacuate naturally. So there is no harm
