Masturbation is just satisfying, but it cannot replace the benefits of sexual intercourse. Medical professor Tobias S. Köhler from outhern Illinois University School of Medicine said, the body that ejaculates because of masturbation or sexual intercourse gives a different response. The composition of semen that comes out of the activity is also different.

Research states, masturbation can reduce the risk of prostate cancer in men. Similar benefits are also obtained from sexual intercourse, which is added to maintaining stabilization of blood pressure and heart health.

This claim comes from no masturbation who has sexually transmitted diseases or is pregnant. Masturbation has side effects even though it is very low.

Köhler said, masturbating too often can cause skin irritation. The part that is forcibly bent when the erection can experience damage is called penile fracture. This damage occurs in parts filled with blood.

"The fractured penis becomes swollen and purplish like eggplant. Men who have penile fractures have to undergo surgery," said Köhler.
