For this section we went straight to the expert spokesman for masturbation, the "Hamburger Helper Guy." Look, masturbation is an essential life requirement like oxygen, food, water, shelter, etc. In fact, if you're not having sex, masturbation is a good way to keep your bits and pieces in top physical shape. If you ever have premature ejaculation problems, masturbation can help you build a tolerance to pleasure and thus last longer during sex. You can even exercise your brain and improve the coordination of your less dominant side, by switching the routine role of your hands to promote dentritic growth of your right cerebral neurons! Masturbation will not make you go blind, grow hair on your palms, make you sterile or insane, give you acne or take your virginity. Nor will it give you any other bizarre side effects. It's a natural behavior that every man in the entire world exhibits, regardless of what they say. When you go through puberty, your hormones are raging. You have a sex-drive, a libido, to be frank you're horny. Without masturbating this drive has no release other than your wet dreams. Masturbation is also the safest form of sexual activity known to man. You should never feel guilty or upset because you masturbated. Taking a big dump makes you feel 10 pounds lighter but you don't feel guilty after that, do you? Masturbation feels good too. It's a natural fact of life for all men. In fact, masturbation keeps men faithful to their wives. When you can't make love to your girlfriend or wife, you need some way to keep your libido balanced, thus you masturbate. The only time you might want to cut down on masturbation is if you need an extra bit of libido to motivate yourself to meet women. As a teen, you probably have more than enough libido to go around, so by all means, feel free to masturbate!
