 I had read somewhere that circumcised men have less sensitivity in the glans of the penis, but not being a man or circumcised for that matter I can't give a definitive answer.

 Ponoangalub,
Sorry, cannot find the source of the circumcision thing. It was a different article and the reason it gave was that that some men who are circumcised needed a lubricant in the absence of a foreskin. Anyway, it isn't supported anywhere else so it is probably not that reliable and I shouldn't have mentioned it.

I used to have a friend who lived in a catholic organised commune in the middle of spain somewhere for 6 months, he he took a vow of celibacy which included rejecting sexual thoughts and apparently he became erm, "psychologically uncomfortable" after a couple of months and he had to leave, he actually felt like he was going mad. And this was coming from a virgin who had no sexual experience before.
Maybe I'd agree with the study you mentioned. I tend to believe that a little of everything in moderation is a good way to live a content life, I think.

 Juliette,
I just read the article that you posted a link to and I never read anything in it that said anything about circumcized men finding it inconvenient to masterbate. What does having or not having your foreskin have anything to do with convenience of masturbation? Fill me in if you will.

I always say when I'm super horny, "If I don't masturbate soon, I'm going to go blind!"

Also, Dr Pete, masturbation is healthy for men and should be done at least twice a week. A study done in Australia and men who ejaculated on average twice a week have less prostate problems when they get older!
Interestly, circumcised men may find it less convenient to masturbate also have more incidence of prostate problems.

It's only temporary though. My colleague, a GP who works in Brixton, London had a one of the locals come in (his best mate had been shot and he was suffering from depression) any how after a while of talking he finally managed to get what this other problem was and he told her what happened. Luckily she didn't laugh (she would have probably been stabbed) but rather she remembered, very vaguely of a very rare condition in which the nervous stimulated in orgasm causes the sensor for the eye to stop working. I'm sure the other GP on this site can verify this claim.
But to all the little kiddie boys reading this and fearing that the wrath of God is about to strike them down for their perverted sins; it's OK, it's VERY rare, not terminal and can be treated. lol.
Just goes to show their is an element of truth in everything though =)

Alcohol kills thousands of brain cells. . . masturbation doesn't. It doesn't even make you go blind. I can actually see quite well, thank you. . . .

 In short, NO!
Masturbation is a completely natural thing, and all of those scare stories are LIES made by people that don't understand that.
Enjoy yourself.
