When you masturbate, and you stop just before it comes out. Is that bad for you? Since it’s already been produced and is inside?
I don’t know why i’m asking this. A friend of mine asked me today and i didn’t have a answer.
IANADoctor, but “it” isn’t spontaneously produced during orgasm, it’s always there, just released at the proper time. If you stop before orgasm, I don’t see how there could be any harmfull effects, besides the feeling commonly described as “blue balls.” If you were to physically BLOCK ejaculation from occuring, via a finger over your urethra, I can’t imagine that would be a good thing.
Well, my philosophy is…
Don’t start anything you don’t intend on finishing!
Blocking the urethra to prevent external ejaculation generally results in the ejaculate ending up in the bladder. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but can be a bit discomfituring to those not familiar with the sensation. Some experts have proposed that all those chemicals, including sperm, in the bladder could pre-dispose one to bladder cancer, but there’s no evidence saying it is so. This “retrograde ejaculation” is used by some as a crude (and not very effective) form of birth control. Sense impending orgasm, sqeeze firmly at the base of the penis, and voila! Much less semen in the vagina.
If a male masturbates to near orgasm and then stops, seminal fluids are mobilized, and prepared for ejaculation, then not released. Meanwhile the prostate has geared up to produce more fluid. So one can get localized tissue swelling and an uncomfortable feeling. This is not harmful, however. Modern medicine has ensured that “blue balls” is not the automatic death sentence that so many generations of teen-aged boys claimed it to be.

I don’t see how this could hurt, but let’s see.
Two seconds later.
CALL 911.
You lost me. Has this ever happened?
umm… I fail to see why one would stop. It baffles my mind.
You know…Like those moments when you are into it, and you hear “Where is my cute little grandson!” Followed by a hand on the door…
It’s the sperm equivalent of yelling “FIRE” in a crowded movie theater.
Besides, it would never happen. Your question is like asking, “Hey guys, if you were going somewhere and you stopped to ask directions…”.
Its not that you would want to stop but rather you have to. Like what spit said.
FYI, cutting off the urethra at the base of the testicles during ejaculation produces and entirely different feeling than normal orgasm.
Try it… just don’t blow up.
Don’t forget that what comes out doesn’t all begin in the same place; most of it is produced by the prostate, not the testicles (as any vasectomised man will confirm).
Bozo, it hurts the integrity of the board.
Please troll elsewhere.
Oops, given bibilophage’s recent admonition, I retract my statement.
My mother once told me (:eek: ) that Japanese men often engage in Coitus Interruptus…making love just shy of orgasm, and then just stopping.
Denying themselves the pleasure of Completing the Act is supposed to make them stronger, healthier, live longer, etc.
Joikus Interruptus. :o Also, Too-Drunkus-To-Spunkus. :smack:
Hehe
In my twenties I developed a technique whereby I lingered as long as I could in the preorgasmic phase deliberately holding off ejaculatory “contractions” until orgasm was instantly imminent. This resulted in a vastly superior orgasm compared to uncontrolled ejaculation. Timing is important however as orgasm can occur accidently without the “contractions” resulting in dissapointment.
Or when you hear a young voice calling out, “Where’s Grampa?”
