Porn & Masturbation are Harmful to your Health.

I will agree with con that I hope this becomes a though provoking debate. I also hope that people will judge this debate fairly based off the evidence shown, and not off their personal opinion on the subject. Personal opinions can sometimes be wrong.I also believe that con has somewhat missed my FULL resolve in this debate. This debate isn't just about masturbation. The resolve is PORN and masturbation are harmful to your health. We are also talking about porn in this debate. Con has missed his chance to make his case of why porn is not harmful, and can only rebuttal my main arguments made in round two.I will now go about making some rebuttals on the points con has made in reference to masturbation:"Regular masturbation reduces the likelihood that one will get prostate cancer."Not fully true, as the BJU study points out. It is only true for those 50 years and older. As the article points out, and con points out, "The study also found that men in their 20s and 30s that masturbated frequently (2-7 times per week) had an increased rate of prostate cancer than their abstinant counterparts."The article clearly states that 20s and 30s who masturbate are at a higher risk than those who have regular sexual intercourse, or don't masturbation at all. The article states "sexual intercourse did not affect prostate cancer risk."Con tries to point out that masturbation may not be the full cause of the higher risk because of a higher sex drive, but lets look at this more:"High levels of male sex hormones, or androgens, may increase a man's risk of prostate cancer."; "These are just theories, Dimitropoulou warns"Dimitropoulou states that the higher sex drive is only a THEORY for the increased risk, and clearly warns in the article that there is not science to back this up. Fact is there is a higher risk for cancer in the 20s and 30s of those masturbating than those that have regular sexual intercourse relations, or don't masturbate at all."A study found [2] that after masturbation, sexual arousal and orgasm increased the absoulute number of leukocytes, in particular natural killer cells..."Ok, this may may true, but the article doesn't state WHY the white blood cell count went up. The article assumes because of the masturbation, but this is highly debatable. A higher number of white blood cells in the system will show up in a semen sample, but there are many other reasons the white blood cell count can be higher: illness, injury, high levels of stress, disease, etc. [1]. We can assume that teens will have stress within their lives, and some of the study could have be fighting illness at the time."Masturbation can also release stress, help you fall asleep, and relieve pain [4]" Um, of course it will help you fall asleep, etc. Masturbation or regular sexual intercourse releases dopamine (feel good hormone) within the brain, as I pointed out in my arguments. Dopamine will help you fall asleep, and releave pain, but too much dopamine release by constant maturbation can be harmful to the brain, as I pointed out.[1] http://www.mayoclinic.org...I hope these rebuttals will help one to rethink what constant masturbation can do to your system. Yes, I will agree that masturbation feels good. No one will deny that fact, but there are other ways to get that dopamine release within life without having to masturbate. Also the release of semen buildup that everyone brings up can be taken care of in wet dreams. Our body was designed to have them; that is why we do.I look forward to hearing what con has to bring forth, and I look forward to the final closing round.
