| Age? | |||
| Well I can only tell you about myself. When I was 5 years old, I went into hospital for a hernia operation and they stuck plasters over my penis, and I could not wank. I wanted to, but I could not. Then when I wanted to pee, I got the nurses to re-do the plastering for me. The nurses did not realize that males pee out of their penises. No... I could not believe it either and as I have said, I was only 5. Now I am well over 60 and still wanking. There you have it. ] (]) 18:00, 17 January 2013 (UTC) | |||

| I'm wondering if it is possible to create two pages for this article, a picture version and a picture-less version. I am not a prude, I like the text of this article and would like it to be freely read. Despite my lack of prudeness, I really can't get over how distracting the pictures are. I completely believe pictures are a necessary part of wikipedia, and even this article, but I would simply like to see a major editor give this some consideration. The picture version could even be the default, and a pictureless version offered at the beginning of the article. Or vice versa. Again, I am no prude and I do not find anything in this article disgusting, but I can't escape an extreme feeling of some form of voyeurism or something. Please, at least give this some thought. --] (]) 06:45, 26 December 2012 (UTC) | |||
| :I've moved some images to relevant sections and reduced their sizes per ] and ] as larger sizes do nothing to help readers understand the article better, and also serve as potential distractions for editors like you. Besides, the pussy shots and dick close-ups are probably better quality than most of the images hosted in WP; reduced size doesn't reduce viewing quality. You can use external tools/WP gadgets to disable images on all or certain urls/articles, but creating 2 versions would be content-forking. - ] (]) 10:43, 28 December 2012 (UTC) | |||

| :]. And you need to recall that this is a global encyclopaedia. Your concerns about illegality may apply in some parts of the world, but not in others. Then there is the question of whether a picture explaining something that's already described in text is, firstly, pornography, and secondly, any different in effect from that text. ] (]) 23:04, 13 January 2013 (UTC) | |||

| Masturbation is not health-beneficial; there is merely a correlation between more frequent ejaculation and a lower risk of prostate cancer, regardless of whether the ejaculation occurred sinfully or not.

Health masturbation?
Masturbation is not health-beneficial; there is merely a correlation between more frequent ejaculation and a lower risk of prostate cancer, regardless of whether the ejaculation occurred sinfully or not. This correlation could theoretically also be caused directly by hormone levels without mediation through ejaculation.
Otherwise, the risk of prostate cancer is negligible up to around the age of 50, and therefore, natural family planning through sexual abstinence does not significantly increase the risk of cancer. After around 50 years of age, women experience menopause, and the couple can engage in sexual intercourse at will. The situation is different for priests and monks, as they have completely devoted themselves to God, and any potential increased risk of prostate cancer is part of the sacrifice." 89.190.52.148 (talk) 23:05, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

- Science can make no positive statements about how priests and monks should behave sexually. Many Eastern Orthodox priests are married, with children, and the same applies to many Protestant pastors. Also, many Eastern Orthodox monks have lovers or pay prostitutes.
- I agree that the correlation between masturbation and the chance of prostate cancer is murky.
- The correlation between having orgasms and cardiovascular health does not mean causation: both erections and cardiovascular health suffer from deposits of cholesterol.
