5. Is It Bad To Masturbate And Not Ejaculate?

All things to consider, we masturbate for release. Release of endorphins, release of pressure or stress, and of course release of fluids. Naturally when you release fluids those fluids can create life, but in this sense it’s a relief of stress, pressure or just for pleasure. Is it bad to masturbate and not ejaculate? This is a question in which everyone should be educated on. Otherwise known today as “Edging” this is where the person masturbates without releasing. There are a few key factors to look at. First, this action helps with premature ejaculation. Some may get excited to the point where they start to cum but the pressure it takes to push out the sperm hasn’t been built up yet, which in turn leaks sperm out of the penis. By deliberately delaying the orgasm you gain control of when you release. It has been noted that for some, building up your ejaculation can help with the final orgasm. In turn makes it stronger, longer and much more sensitive. Secondly, this isn’t a bad thing considering this is how we obtain explosive orgasms time and time again. The only issue is that some have said they experience pain in the scrotum if it is built up without release. So overall not ejaculating when you reach peak is not really an issue more so, a matter of control.
