I think the best sex columnist writing today is Dan Savage (www.savage.love). Your questions are the sort that he covers. He says that the Internet is the single person's friend - it's possible to meet many people you would never have run into before the computer revolution.

He and every sex columnist I've ever read say that everyone masturbates, men and women. I did before anorgasmia began, while single and dating, during "dry" spells, and in marriage. But masturbation has been condemned for centuries by religionists. Masters and Johnson indeed say, "Use it or lose it." I have read doctor columnists who say that it helps prostate health if you don't have a regular partner.

Your Aug. 23 concerns about sex surrogates are misplaced. They're professionals who work for psychologists. They're not prostitutes, like some uninformed have said. You might think of them as social workers. Chapter 22 of "Masters of Sex," by Thomas Maier, a history of Masters' and Johnson's work, has a history of the surrogate profession, which began in 1959. Chapter 34 has descriptions of typical sessions with one of their surrogates, who was interviewed by the author in her later life.

Maybe you can save the money to take this route.

Research reputable medical journals(not the typical dross you can find on the internet).

praise of masturbation. Masturbation is a very useful and enjoyable habit. Helping to reduce sexual tension. It is also healthy if the semen is drained regularly. This keeps the prostate healthy. Masturbation can be done alone (solo masturbation) or with like-minded partners. Masturbators do not need to harm anyone in order to obtain their sexual satisfaction. This means that other people (children, women and men) are not endangered by masturbating. Personally, I am a proud solo masturbator who has been masturbating regularly for the past 68 years. I started masturbating when I was 9 years old, now I'm 78 years old. For many years I have been dealing with the phenomenon of masturbation. That means I have collected all the information available to me. The great advantage of masturbation is that you can also masturbate in old age or when you are ill, when an erection is no longer possible. Because especially in old age it is very beneficial if the prostate is emptied regularly.

I'm 5 week implant postop. I start cycling soon and haven't used it for sex. I can only say that I'm looking forward to being able to masturbate again with something other than a softie!

One way or another, the prostate gets bigger with age because the hormones change, which has nothing to do with ejaculation. But it is known that with frequent ejaculation, the prostate is well flushed. Therefore, as you get older, you should masturbate with ejaculation as often as you can. Aside from the enlargement, my prostate is in very good condition. The PSA value is also very good. I have my prostate checked every year with an ultrasound.
