masturbating does not cause pregnancy problems! if people can have sex when they are pregnant, then you can certainly masturbate. i think your bf needs a wake up call. we don't live in the dark ages. if you want to masturbate then you should. he can't tell you what you can and can't do. otherwise it will start with that and go onto the rest of your life where he will be in complete control of you. do what you want! it's your body.

 Well all I can say is, it's HIS insecurities it shouldn't be yours. And from my standpoint masturbation is a good thing. Never let anyone makes you feel dirty about something like that. Now if you had to play with yourself all hours of the day and can't keep your fingers out of your panties well then he can be concerned, but other then that it's pretty healthy.
PS I really wouldn't take pregnancy tips from a guy. ( unless he knows what he's talking about.) And just because you are a virgin doesn't mean you can not educate yourself on your won body :) Get an anatomy book and do some self studying:) Or goggle random things that might pop into your head. I bet you you will learn more then he can teach you.

I don't think I even thought this when I was a kid!! It's completely untrue. In all fairness when you think about it, what aspect of the process would decrease your chances of getting pregnant? Be warned though, your baby might inherit the IQ of it's father - that's the scary part.

 Well yeah, it is true, if all you do is masturbate you won't be having any kids.
For the humor impaired, this is a joke.
Of course masturbation doesn't have any effect on pregnancy. Before, during or after.
Your boyfriend is an idiot, isn't he a bit old for schoolyard wisdom?

Nope neither sex nor masturbation is harmful during pregnancy. Some women actually prefer to have sex instead of being induced if they go past their due date.
If you are really concerned ( or he is) go talk to your doctor:)

 Completely untrue and utterly false. Masterbation before pregnancy will not harm future pregnancies and masterbation durring pregnancy will not harm the baby in the least.

 I don't think what he told you is accurate. I think that he might be listening to old wives' tales or simply has some bad information. The one who can answer this question is your doctor. Here's a link for you to read some medically reviewed information about sex and pregnancy:
