Although many individuals argue that there are endless positive side effects that are brought about by masturbation and that it is a wonderful activity to engage in, there are also some negatives that are brought about by masturbation. Before you start hurling insult to those who are opposed to masturbation and calling them names, it is important that you read along. Although nobody has come forward to highlight the long term negative effects of masturbation, there are lots of side effects that can manifest themselves in you, if you engage in it over a long period.
Some of those negative side effects
Desensitization
If you engage in masturbation for a long time, you run the risk of desensitizing yourself, a phenomenon that may make it difficult for you to climax later on.

Effect on hard on
After you have been through masturbation for long periods, your hard on is also likely going to be affected.

For those individuals who have problems with achieving a proper erection, it is advisable that you do not masturbate anytime soon because you will end up worsening the situation.
