             Masturbation is a tough issue that is frowned upon to this day. It is sometimes referred to as "self-abuse," or "self-pleasuring." Some people thing that masturbation is a bad thing because it leads the individual out of himself to complete the task. Then the individual must go back to reality and hide his thoughts and actions within himself into a self-prison almost where they must keep their imaginary fantasies. Now this may cause psychological damage. Another approach was the masturbation was a sort of sexual imbalance. No one will truly know why a person masturbates but some say it has a lot to do with loneliness, which leads an individual into isolation, fantasy and then masturbation. Loneliness is the key factor that leads many people to believe that masturbation is bad. Loneliness is usually joined with feelings of anger and self-hatred sometimes. When the real word is harsh to one, they may fall into fantasy. In a person's fantasy world, they can do whatever they want, and when it is taken out of the fantasy world and into the real world, it may lead to unpleasant things and sexual addiction. Now masturbation becomes compulsive. However, masturbation cannot be regarded as abnormal behavior compared to sexual intercourse in the sense that it is but an expression of ones own true sexuality that is the same sexuality expressed through sexual intercourse. The only difference is that in masturbation, the individual's desire is not present but only in forms of fantasy. In sexual intercourse, the object of desire is present. Masturbation is like a temporary outlet almost. Especially when the individual's sexual partner is not there, and they feel a drive. Masturbation is noted to be useful in one's health. It relieves stress and anxiety at times and helps an individual with their own sexual appetite and sexual energy. It is said to be the basic sexuality of any individual that leads to the success of any sexual intercourse.
