While May is masturbation month, we should treat every day like a reason to jack off.
Whether you’re a regular goon and ‘bator, or are too busy to masturbate regularly (you should really start), we’re shedding light on some of the most asked questions about masturbation, jerking off and exploring your body on your terms.
Maybe because my sex education classes at school were woefully inadequate, or maybe I’m just a bit obsessed with jacking off, but I’ve always got time to talk about masturbation
In the name of investigative journalism, I’ve done a bit of analysis to try and identify the most-searched questions that gay guys have about masturbation. I’m not a doctor, but I do masturbate a lot, so I feel qualified enough to try and provide some answers.
Can Frequent Masturbation Help Prevent Prostate Cancer?
Intuitively, it makes sense that there’s probably some sort of connection between regular sexual activity and keeping your prostate healthy.
Adding weight to this assumption is a major study that was published in 2016. The study had been tracking around 32,000 men over a period of 18 years. One of the things that they were taking note of was how often they ejaculated. They were counting ejaculations by any means – intercourse, masturbation, or wet dreams.
The results of the study indicated a correlation between frequent ejaculation and a healthy prostate. The guys that were ejaculating at least 21 times a month had around a 20% lower incidence of prostate cancer than the guys who were ejaculating less than seven times a month.
So, the short answer is that yes – frequent masturbation could potentially help prevent prostate cancer. At the very least, it’s not doing any harm.
Is It Unhealthy to Jack Off Every Day?
While it seems pretty clear that regular masturbation is a good thing, is it possible to have too much of a good thing? How much masturbating is too much masturbating?
There’s no hard and fast rule about this. Your body will generally let you know when it needs to take a break. When I was a hormone-fuelled teenager, I needed to rub one out about five times a day. These days, jacking off once or twice a day is about my limit.
The scenario in which you might start to think that you’re going too hard at it is when it starts to negatively impact other areas of your life. It’s probably not helpful to talk in terms of sex addiction, but if you’re prioritising your bate sessions over everything else, that might start to become a problem.
If you’re having issues with your job, with your relationships, or with other aspects of your life, maybe take a step back and make sure that you’re not using masturbation as some sort of coping mechanism or escape from reality. Talking things over with a therapist can be a really useful way to get some perspective on things.
Does Thick Semen Equate to Healthy Semen?
It’s fairly common for everyone’s cum to look a bit different. Some guys shoot a lot, some guys not so much. Some guys have thicker cum than other guys. You’ll probably also notice that your cum isn’t always the same – it might look a bit different from one day to the next.
Generally, that’s totally cool and nothing to worry about.
However, the main indicator that you might have a problem that could need some medical attention is if your cum is really thick.
But how thick is too thick? If you notice that your cum is thicker than normal and maybe it comes out in thick strands instead of spurts or drops, then it might be something you want to see a doctor about. You don’t want your cum to be chunky.
If you’ve got thick semen, it’s not necessarily something major. Some of the reasons why your cum might seem a bit thick could be because you haven’t ejaculated for a while, or you’re dehydrated.
However, thick semen could be an indicator that you’ve got an infection, or that you’ve got a problem with your prostate.
If your cum is looking weird, talk to a doctor.
How Can I Make My Cum Taste Better?
No matter how much pineapple juice you drink, your cum is generally going to have a fairly neutral or alkaline kind of taste.
The reason that it doesn’t taste of much is because of the way our bodies produce cum – your cum is a combination of different fluids produced by different parts of the body.
But if you’re noticing that the guys that you’re with are spitting and not swallowing, funky-tasting cum might be an indicator of some underlying factors that you should take a look at.
Better-tasting cum doesn’t really come from eating or avoiding specific foods, it’s about your overall health. Make sure you’ve got a balanced diet, that you’re getting regular exercise, drinking lots of water, minimising alcohol, and avoiding drugs and cigarettes.
How Can I Improve My Sex Edging Technique?
Edging is one of the essential life skills that you should learn early and practice often – it’s up there with how to tie your shoelaces and make a decent cup of tea.
Edging is all about taking it to the brink but avoiding going beyond the point of no-return. You want to hit that pre-orgasmic zone without actually shooting your load. It’s all about making it last as long as possible – maximising your pleasure until you’re ready to unload.
You can incorporate edging into a sexual encounter with another guy, but it’s best mastered when you’re jacking off by yourself.
This is all about getting to know your body, and getting to know how to build your pleasure up towards orgasm but then being able to control and ease off when necessary.
When you’re focusing on improving your edging technique, try and shift your masturbation away from a functional jack-off – don’t limit yourself to just getting hard and getting off. Allocate some time to it, make sure you’re in a warm and comfortable space, get plenty of lube, get naked, and get ready to explore.
A guided masturbation or tantric meditation video might be helpful in terms of helping you to navigate your body in a different way and to slow everything down. There’s also a variety of masturbation toys out there that can be a good way to add some variety to your bate session.

Pretty basic stuff but good info for those unaware.
who has the time to jack off twice a day? Really?
There are those of us who have a life and can find the time to jerk as many times as we need to , because we don’t spend 24/7 posting negativity on Squirt!!
Thank you boysco2
if you continue to jack off regularly as you get older your PSA reading will spike. if it gets up to 6 or over the urologist will be concerned and want to do a biopsy (very painful and expensive). and yes i have been there and done that.
Thanks for interesting article, Gareth! When I want to increase sperm volume before a hot sex date, I start loading with 1000 mg of vitamin C with zinc once or twice a day. I learned this by accident. Also, having oatmeal for breakfast daily seems to keep the sperm factory churning. Don’t know if there is any science behind any of this. Just what I’ve notices from experience.
If your PSA goes up there, and they advise tests, have them. If you are 75 or more, you will likely die of something other than prostate cancer since it usually moves slowly, but it starts in the prostate and moves sidewise into the bladder and rectum and other close tissues, as well as enlarging the prostate to the point that pissing is very incomplete and therefore very frequent. Treatment now may require Viagra in the future, and, after 20 years or so, that may not even get you hard enough to penetrate a tight hole, but it will still feel good. Better treat than die, if you are under 75 or so.
You highlighted many valuable points. But every man should read the research. There is plenty of data out there, so read some diverse materials. I worked in a doctor’s office. He was conservative when addressing treatments. He viewed medical intervention only when a disorder affected the patient’s quality of life. Since all men initiate the development of BPH (benign prostatic hypertrophy or prostate enlargement) from the onset of puberty. If BPH impacted the patient’s lifestyle negatively, then treatment might be needed. He was an advocate for homeopathic treatments and resorted to chemical medications only if needed. He would confirm BPH and other disorders by ultra-sound and never biopsy, since biopsy nearly caused metastasis 100% of the time. puncture of the prostate caused the release of cancer cells into the rest of the body. Now there are some new methods of treatments that are done in-office that are as simple as piercing your ear lobes and do not leave a man with ED.
Jacking off is rite of passage at puberty and never ends.
I lovejerking off myself and anyone else whos cock I can grab or suck does sucking count I prefer sucking and love to swallow
I like to save up if am going to top but sometimes hold off too long. Want quality orgasms.
I don’t jerk off much anymore, I like to have a full load available if a hookup should come to be. If I do jerk off, I want a big dildo in my ass as I cum, it makes the orgasm really intense.
Check out daily low dose 5 mg Cialis. On the box it is indicated for both ED and BPH. I’ve been on it for 5 years and it also gives other benefits (fitness enhancer for running & lifting weights). Cialis relaxes smooth muscle (liberates nitric oxide) and mild dilation (blood flow) of tiniest blood capillaries – which relieves lung pressure (gives you big lungs for running). Half-life 18 hours, so daily low dose keeps you in a steady state (not peaks & lows). If you really want big ED med, then do a 20 mg dose Cialis (but that lasts 3 days). Im 63 and my prostate is still small, large urine stream (but I’ve lifted weights all my life, BP 100/60, lean body fat, eat healthy). FYI.
I.m 77…at 71 psa went from 3 to 4…had biopsy…yes cancer….doc said theres 30 kinds of prostate cancer..some slow some fast ..i had the fast kind….3 weeks later had prostate out…caught it just in time…doc saved some of the nerves…gets hard enough to jack with and maybe go in a hole with lube….feels almost the same…but, takes longer to get to the point of shooting…..now…i actually do shoot my jizz about a foot…for years didn.t shoot too often..just came out.now, each time…think it fells better when you shoot….i always jacked at least 1-x/day …in my teens,20’s-30.s…usually 5 x/day….i do think it feels better the older i get…am addicted to the feeling..oh..one more thing now don.t shoot white stuff…only clear…ok with me feels good…and one more thing the doc,s don.t tell you….you.ll lose about 1-1/2 in length when the prostate comes out…now i.m only 6″….thats my story.
As I’m now 86. Still have major desires, sexually. I can orgasm intensely but there is no longer any semen, no ejaculate. Doctor isn’t concerned but would it be a “turn off” for a sexually partner? Hard is about 60% and not looking to do inserting but get very horny to jack off alone or with someone. Having no ejaculation doesn’t bother me except concerned that it may concern a partner and take away enjoyment. Opinion?
Zinc is used in fertility work because it is said to increase seminal fluid and thereby increases motility. I’m 62 and wank probably 4x per week. I figure, a prostate is like any muscle.. use it (in moderation) or lose it. PSA’s always around 1.0. If im just getting off, there isn’t much and it’s thicker. But if I’m expecting a fun weekend, i hold off on Thursday Fridays. Also a good douching makes me precum like crazy. That, followed by a good long sensual session usually gives me 2 little cums when topping and saves the big load for my partner’s mouth (or chest) after. I’ve always eaten mine and take any i can get orally. Flavor is dependent on hydration and yes, asparagus does make it quite bitter!
I used to masturbate several times a day even into my 30s. There were days I would edge for over an hour as well. As I am now in my 50s, I still jerk off but it’s usually a couple times a week now. I still find it a great stress reliever. I do wish I had to time to edge like I used to, but a quick cum is better than no cum!
When I was around 71 or 72, I noticed that when I had an orgasm only a tiny bit of semen came out. I mentioned it to my primary care doctor and also to a Urologist and both said the same thing “it’s part of getting old”. I knew that was bullshit since I have been with guys my age and older who cum loads. I had a PSA test done and it was a “7”. Had a biopsy done and turns out I had prostate cancer. I had it removed and no cancer anywhere else. My advice to you no matter how old you are when your semen changes insist that your doctor do further testing. You know your body better than a doctor. And to one of the guys above who said he had prostate cancer, and they took his prostate out and he now cums loads he’s full of shit! Without a prostate you CANNOT produce semen.
Hi I am now 81 and still sexually active . I have had 3 prostate biopsies when I reached a PSA of 6 always negative. My PSA is now 4.5 and has been the same for years now normal for my age is max 6.5 . No spike in PSA with ejaculating every day. But every 6 months when I get PSA test I do not ejaculate for at least 3 days. I edge every afternoon for and hour watching gay porn and chat on a gay phone line when I ejaculate I shoot pretty hard and produce a nice amount of medium thickness sperm it also has a nice taste .This is pleasurable but not as good as having a long session of love making ending by swallowing a nice load. I have not been with a man since the beginning of covid but will start meeting next weekend with a nice guy I met and made out with at a sauna . We are going to meet at a motel and hopefully on a regular basis. I love to swallow and lots of French kissing. Enjoy your cock XXXX.
I’ve loved masterbating since I was a teen and after some mates at school talked about it with me. We used to meet up at my soon to be first boyfriend’s house to play during study period or after school. I’ve enjoyed masterbating throughout my adult life too and usually jerk off every few days if I’m not with a guy. I do enjoy saving up a few days worth of cum to squirt a good load though. So long story short, and like most guys I know, I’ve spent my whole life enjoying the solo art and pleasure that comes with a good wank.
Twice a day every day. Love it
Great article too. I wish masturbating wasn’t so taboo in society – I’d love to just do it anywhere and everywhere I wanted to
Have to second Hole_Stretchers remarks about masterbating too much before a PSA exam as an older Silver daddy. I usually masterbate every day or so ,but before a PSA test abstain for a week. Test came out 7 and the Doc made me take a biopsy which had me scared, naturally. Turned out I’m good to go. Tests still come in over 3 but thats natural for we older dudes.
I’m 73 and jerked off twice a day until I was almost 70. Had to have a TURP because of frequent UTI’s. No more squirting after that. Psychologically, that was difficult for me. Then discovered aggressive prostate cancer. Caught it in time, but 45 radiation treatments later, getting hard is difficult. Cialis helps, but not all that well. Still horny, though, and now obsessed with cum. Love to suck and swallow. I guess that’s compensation for not being able to squirt myself.
Maybe I’m just a cum pig but I enjoy the taste of cum whether it’s salty, sweet, sour, thick, or watery. It all tastes good to me! I care more about he quantity and making a guy really horny and wanting to unload on my face or in my mouth. It is all good!
I love the taste of cum I’ve sucked and swallowed over 25000 cocks in my lifetime and there’s only been about 5 loads I didn’t care for but the rest have been delicious and some super delicious I use to cruise a spot and there were two older gentlemen I would suck and swallow pretty much 5 days a week and they had the best tasting cum I ever tasted and both had huge loads thick and white and absolutely delicious.
I use my cockpump about 3 times a week. I probably bate about 20 times a month. Since I lost around 100 lbs over 3 years ago, my sexual drive and cumming is the best I’ve ever had. And some of my cum shots are alot.
I’m 73 and I masturbate at least three times a week but never without fucking myself with a huge dildo. It takes a long time for me to clean out. Having aversion to scat. Have graduated to using eggplants for dildos. Can judge your own size and get bigger and bigger. Fucking myself with a huge eggplant is totally edging. If you don’t touch your cock, you can go on forever. Sometimes I only pause for an hour or so and then continue all night long. Maybe keep doing it three or four times a day and not come at all just edge all day long, just recently divorced now I can’t get enough cock or cum. I have a question that sum of Master Baters might know When I fuck my self and I have an anal orgasm Should Cum ejaculate from my cock?
I’m 87 and my brain is still extremely active and horny . . . most all of the time. I can get my member hard and can even orgasm . . . but don’t have any semen. . . .nothing cums out. I’ve talked to the Doctor and he has no concerns. Is it an “age” thing now that I know I am healthy and no prostate problems . . . and I should expect age has everything to do with it. It doesn’t bother me except I feel I can be rejected because I can’t “shoot”. Please advise knowing you are just generally commenting. Thank you!! Scot10
Oooo yyyaaa, I just love masturbating/jerking off my “HUGE MONSTER COCK in a pair of shiny silky nylon track shorts. It makes me feel sssoooo gooood and sexy hot.
Good article. It took a long time into my 30s to really appreciate wanking. Too much focus on work, long hours and no libido or interest in any relationships as it was such a hostile working environment.
Now in my sixties I really enjoy my body and love watching beautiful men jack off on porn. And I have had some nice shared experiences on Squirt.
Would love to make it more…..tangible!
I have had some lovely tantric massage experiences with professionals and whilst expensive; you come away feeling soooo europhoric!
Just to share a recent medical problem. My semen became dark red/ brown this year after a lengthy use of a cock ring and anal toy. It may not have been that and I had all the checks with a urologist (thank you NHS for being matter of fact and not judge mental); and there doesn’t seem to any underlying cause. So it may have been a burst blood vessel or something ( I was having a goog time!).
My ejacalution is disappointing; volume and strength is not what it was. But the orgasms or great. And I tend to edge for about 45 mins to an hour. Wish I could repeat ; but I tend to have to rest for at least an hour.
Mmmm – getting hard writing all this……I think I had better go and play. X
