Just as a matter of interest. I had a terrible pain in my lower back about 4 months ago and a subsequent blood test revealed I had a higher than normal PSA (prostate-specific antigen) blood count. As this is an early sign of prostate cancer (both lower back pain and elevated PSA) I had to take a biopsy of my prostate. With great relief the results showed no sign of cancer. However, I wasn’t given any explanation of why my PSA count was higher than normal.

I find it difficult to understand why I have not been informed about the dangers of compulsive masturbation earlier in my life. I am, of course, open to the stigma and the embarrassing side of the subject and it is not easy to talk about it, especially to people you don’t know. But surely the medical profession, especially psychiatrists, psychologists, counsellors and family doctors should know that compulsive masturbation is a problem but maybe they don’t realize how serious it is.
