Men: Masturbate 21x per Month

Good grief. That sounds like a lot of work. It sounds like they want to turn sex into a chore … ha ha.

That said, the article also mentions people who didn't ejaculate for weeks at a time and felt the better and more active for it. Which is something I have to attest to myself as well. Ejaculation denial (which is not the same as not masturbating) does give certain advantages. It is the basis for the underlying principles of Tantric sex and by denying sexual relief via ejaculation, it also embodies some otherwise normal situations with potential sexual meaning and promise. Which is also a delightful state to be in.

In any case, even when young, I must have been pumping out rookie numbers. Cause 21 a month seems like quite the effort to accomplish.

Frequent ejaculation and reduced risk of prostate cancer has been mentioned several times before here on Zity. There have even been claims (not supported by studies) about reduced cardiovascular health risks associated with frequent ejaculation (note: sex is exercise - but I doubt this claim is true)!! Here are a couple of studies that support that frequent ejaculation does not increase the risk of prostate cancer and that it can actually reduce the risk:

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/198487

“From an article about a study reported by JAMA in 2004: Conclusions Our results suggest that ejaculation frequency is not related to increased risk of prostate cancer. High ejaculation frequency may possibly be associated with a lower risk of total and organ-confined prostate cancer.”

https://www.health.harvard.edu/mens-health/ejaculation_frequency_and_prostate_cancer

“The scientists found no evidence that frequent ejaculations mark an increased risk of prostate cancer. In fact, the reverse was true: High ejaculation frequency was linked to a decreased risk. Compared to men who reported 4–7 ejaculations per month across their lifetimes, men who ejaculated 21 or more times a month enjoyed a 31% lower risk of prostate cancer. And the results held up to rigorous statistical evaluation even after other lifestyle factors and the frequency of PSA testing were taken into account.”

I personally think it is a noble goal to ejaculate 21 times per month or more, regardless of any beneficial health results!! Especially when you combine it with cardio exercise with a partner! 😄

Some advocate the benefits of prostate massage WRT prostate health. Mostly by naturopaths and sex workers! Some medical reports indicate there doesn't seem to be any basis for this other than relaxing pelvic floor muscles. Recent article from 2022.

Challenge accepted. 😎

(While I don't track my onanistic habits, I do think I already masturbate more than 21 times already.)

@Rigel: Frequent ejaculation and reduced risk of prostate cancer …. reduced cardiovascular health risks…

Wow, if so I should have a long life. 😈😎

@reddevil I saw the reference to reduced cardio risk mentioned in an unsupported article. Suspect it is not supported by any science - at least not that I found. Keep exercising, don’t smoke and eat healthy! 😉

I have read those things as well. Mu uro has also said that frequent ejaculation helps clear-cut impurities in the prostate and c restrictions in the ‘plumbing’.

It’s really not a chore, nor hard to accomplish. More maintenance IMO And it does make you happier and relaxed.

And it does make you happier and relaxed.

Ít all depends really on a person's temperament I suppose. There is indeed a momentary relaxation but there is also the loss of sexual desire and for some it can take a long time to build up again. Meaning that in the meantime between climax and another build-up, there is a period of nothingness in the way of sexual pleasure/desire/wanting. It is as if it doesn't interest you anymore, making you wonder what all the fuss and bother is about.

So I would say it also induces sadness, sort of in the way that used to be (romantically) talked of in France with their expression of orgasm being a ‘petite mort’, a sort of post orgasm melancholy. And melancholy does certainly not make a person happier.

Yes, but it's a long-term effect. The moments between are just as wonderful.

21 times a month? I may be close but never counted. I guess I could start putting a check-mark on my calendar. Who am I to argue with medical science? It's all in the interest of better health!!

You gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers. You gotta feed the geese to keep the blood flowing.

21 times a month ? In my early years, let's say my 20s and 30s, I'm pretty sure it was an easy number for me when I was single.

Nowadays (I'm in my 50s), if I reach half that count, I'm a happy man. 😄

(That's not entirely true, I think sometimes, I still masturbate that much when given the opportunity, but on a yearly basis no.)

@agracier There is indeed a momentary relaxation but there is also the loss of sexual desire and for some it can take a long time to build up again.

I find it interesting how as soon as I pop the old cork I lose all sexual desires - how that change of mind can happen so fast is amazing. Wonder what takes place? The build back up for me takes a couple of hours.

Maybe in my late teens, but not in middle age. And isn't there anything here to be said about the release it gives you afterwards?

I'm 70 and probably average more than 21/month.

There’s nothing wrong with masturbation as long as it doesn’t get out-of-hand.

If I cannot ejaculate inside or with my partner, I centainly will try to help myself at least once a day. 😜

You get the same response anyone would get from - in hope - anyone in the forum: Sure, if you dig it, why not. Just don't step on anyone's nade while doing os.

21x per Month?

And what do you do at the other 29 days?

As someone who hasn't had sex in years, I'd say 21/month is pretty accurate. That's what, about twice every three days?

‘petite mort’,

Ahh, the French have a way with words😄

I peaked at around 21x per week at times in my mid-teens, morning, afternoon and night!

Certainly averaged well over 21x per month through my teens and 20s - at least daily.

Slowed down during my 30s and 40s, now at 2-3 per week, but that's still a fairly respectable 10-12 per month at 51!

At 55 I’m happy to do once, twice or three times a day if left to my own devices. In my last physical I asked my doc if that desire ever goes away. He said ‘nope.’ So 21x a month really isn’t that far-fetched

@FLPantient:

Apparently the only thing that stops the desire is embalming fluid!

That's probably about what I average. This sounds like a fun little project. I'm going to put a little mark on my calendar each day I masturbate, to see what my score is. I'll bet 21 times is about right. These days I'm usually good for one session per day.

It’s “orgasms” per month. Whether you masturbate or fuck. Pass this health stat onto your wife/SO and let her take charge of keeping you healthy!!

Am in mid 70s and can still do several times a day. Sometimes hard and sometimes flaccid but always feels good!

Might as well be every day then. Gotta get busy!

She's just hoping I'll die.
