Urologist: Masturbation Is Healthy—Even for Old Men

 

In traditional Chinese medicine, it is well known: a man needs sex until he dies.

Psychology confirms this. Freud and Jung both recognized that the sexual drive is fundamental.

Every male animal has a primal instinct to procreate. This is wired so deeply into our brains that we feel sexual urges independently of our emotions or thoughts. Nature needs children for the future.

And if there is no sexuality anymore, a man loses a sense of purpose—and eventually, he dies.

To deny sex is to deny life itself.

If you want vitality as you age, you must remain engaged with your sexuality. Even in old age, you can restore your sexual function—with training and good health. (Always consult your urologist first.)

The Link Between Sex and Aging

Aging begins when we lose our sex drive.

Without sex, men age much faster.

As we grow older, we naturally lose some of our drive, vitality, liveliness, and passion. But through sex—solo or with a partner—we can maintain all of them at a much higher level.

I want to confront you and break the taboo: Masturbation is not bad.

Masturbation is healthy—as long as it's not done in excess or in the wrong way. And sharing sex with a partner is even better.

But let's be clear: Masturbation is not dirty.

For men over 60, masturbation is not just okay—it's a must for staying fit and healthy.

1. Mindless Masturbation Can Lead to Numbness and ED

The key is how you do it.

If you can no longer produce as much fluid, daily stimulation is still beneficial. Release only when you feel the need.

But quick, tense, disconnected self-pleasure is harmful. When you teach your brain the same pattern—same hand, same motion, same outcome—it becomes boring. Sensitivity drops. Stiffness fades. Confidence drops. Loneliness increases. Disconnection grows.

The fix: Make self-pleasure intentional, not performance-driven. Avoid porn. No rushing. No pressure. Reconnect with feeling, not fantasy.

2. Not Masturbating Can Lead to Prostate Congestion and Inflammation

Without regular release, the prostate can become congested. This can lead to:

Frequent urination at night

Inflammation

Increased risk of prostate cancer

A Harvard study proves that men with fewer than 21 ejaculations per month have a significantly higher risk of prostate cancer.

Regular ejaculation flushes out toxins and keeps the prostate healthy.

3. Shame Around Self-Touch Damages Mental Health

Let me say it again: Masturbation is not dirty. Speak about it openly.

Shame is a stressor. It raises cortisol, tightens muscles, and floods the brain with anxiety. Over time, this can lead to depression, heart disease, immune issues, and even dementia.

But masturbation—when done correctly—releases dopamine, oxytocin, and endorphins. These are the body's natural antidepressants.

You are never too old for self-pleasure.

4. Sexual Activity Stimulates Testosterone

Yes, even solo activity.

As we age, our testosterone naturally declines. But if you stop touching your body altogether, you lose even more testosterone—along with energy, vitality, and muscle mass.

The good news: You can support healthy testosterone levels.

Maca root is one powerful aid. After taking it daily for two months, many men notice a real difference. I have personally increased my testosterone with Maca and other supplements—the difference in endurance and power is huge.

(Always consult your physician before starting any new supplement.)

5. Use It or Lose It

This applies to muscles—and it applies to erections.

Stimulate every day, whether or not you release fluid. Regular stimulation maintains blood flow, nerve sensitivity, and tissue health.

6. The Pornography Problem

Today's pornography is ultra-stimulating: fast, high-intensity, and endless.

Your brain was not designed for that level of dopamine flooding. After prolonged exposure, many men find they cannot perform without porn—or even with a real partner.

The fix: Try a 30-day detox. No porn. No fantasy. Just reconnect with your own body and sensation.

7. Conscious Masturbation Improves Longevity and Quality of Life

When done mindfully, self-pleasure offers real benefits:

Better sleep

Lower anxiety

Improved circulation

Greater vitality

Enhanced mood

Final Thought

Masturbation is not something to hide from or feel ashamed of. It is a natural, healthy part of being human—at every age.

Treat your body with respect. Listen to it. Care for it. And don't be afraid to enjoy the pleasure it was designed to give you.
