Many men who practice [[foreskin restoration]] report an improvement in their masturbation experience with their restored penis as compared with their previous [[circumcised]] penis. Notably, they typically report an improvement in [[gliding action]], in [[Foreskin sensitivity| sensation]], and a reduction or elimination of the need for lubrication.

==Male masturbation==
Masturbation to orgasm before bed is very relaxing and contributes to sleeping. Moreover, it prevents overfilled [[seminal vesicles]] and [[nocturnal emission| nocturnal emissions]] (wet dreams}. Masturbation to orgasm in the morning may help a teen to get through the school day. Regular masturbation is associated with a reduction in the incidence of [[prostate cancer]].<ref>{{REFweb

The manner of male masturbation tends to be controlled by the [[circumcision]] status of the individual.
How one masturbates depends on whether one has an [[intact]], internally-lubricated, movable erogenous [[foreskin]] that [[gliding action| glides]] up and down the shaft of the [[penis]] or whether one has been [[circumcised]] and has restricted skin mobility.
Masturbation may be helpful in reducing a persistent [[erection]].
There is no minimum age for masturbation. Young adolescents may experience dry orgasms until secretion of [[semen]] commences.
===Intact [[penis]] ===
The movable, internally-lubricated, [[Ridged band| nerve-laden]] erogenous [[foreskin]] and its [[gliding action]] is an important aid to masturbation.<ref name="kimpang2007">{{KimDS PangMG 2007}}</ref> [[Intact]] males simply use their hand to glide the [[foreskin]] back and forth. It is ''not'' necessary to retract the [[foreskin]] while masturbating. If the foreskin is of adequate length, then the [[intact]] male will usually keep it forward for additional stimulation. Keeping the head covered by the [[foreskin]] also protects the sensitive [[mucosa]] covering the [[glans penis| head]]. The motion of the foreskin stimulates the nerves ([[Meissner's corpuscles]]) in the foreskin. Use of lubrication is optional for [[intact]] males.There are many variations.<ref>{{REFweb |url=http://jackinworld.com/techniques/jackinexpert-collection/foreskin-fun |title=Foreskin Fun |last= |first= |init= |publisher=JackinWorld |date= |accessdate=2024-02-25}}</ref>
Prolonged and/or vigorous masturbation occasionally causes [[lymphoedema]] of the foreskin, which causes swelling of the [[foreskin]]. The condition is painless and harmless. It usually resolves within about 24 hours.

====Masturbation for intact teens====
Milos (2022) advises regarding a 14-year-old [[intact]] teen:
<blockquote>
I am happy that you and your son can talk candidly about sex. You can explain to him that, just as you cautioned him not to forcibly retract his [[foreskin]], he needs to be careful with his foreskin when he masturbates. Here’s why: One or two millimeters under the penile skin is a smooth muscle sheath called the [[dartos]] fascia. The dartos fascia covers the shaft of the [[penis]] and extends to the tip. The dartos fascia muscle fibers near the tip of the foreskin form a sphincter-like structure—or a ring—that acts like a one-way valve and shields the urinary opening.
The muscle fibers of the ring will become elastic over time as your son’s foreskin loosens with the hormones of puberty and eventually fully retracts. Until then, tell your son to masturbate gently to slowly widen the opening. If he masturbates too vigorously, he can force the head of the penis through the opening and tear the ring, causing bleeding as well as pain. Gentleness is always important when the genitals are involved.<ref>{{REFweb

===Circumcised penis===
<blockquote>
In all cases [of masturbation] circumcision is undoubtedly the physicians' closest friend and ally ... To obtain the best results one must cut away enough [[skin]] and [[Mucosa| mucous membrane]] to rather put it on the stretch when erections come later. There must be no play in the [[skin]] after the wound has thoroughly healed, but it must fit tightly over the [[penis]], for should there be any play the patient will be found to readily resume his practice, not begrudging the time and extra energy required to produce the orgasm. It is true, however, that the longer it takes to have an orgasm, the less frequently it will be attempted, consequently the greater the benefit gained ... The younger the patient operated upon the more pronounced the benefit, though occasionally we find patients who were [[circumcised]] before puberty that require a resection of the [[skin]], as it has grown loose and pliant after that epoch.<ref name="spratling1895">{{REFjournal

====Death grip masturbation====
[[Circumcision]] excises about 15-square-inches of highly-innervated erogenous tissue<ref name="winklemann1959">{{WinkelmannRK 1959}}</ref> from the [[penis]], reduces or eliminates the [[gliding action]], and severely reduces [[Foreskin sensitivity| penile sensation]].<ref name="taylor1996">{{TaylorJR LockwoodAP TaylorAJ 1996}}</ref> [[Circumcised]] men, with their desensitized [[penis]], in an attempt to restore lost sensation, are more likely to try using a very tight grip when they masturbate. This technique is referred to by the slang term ''death grip masturbation''.<ref name="savage2019">{{REFweb |url=https://www.joseph4gi.com/2019/11/death-grip-and-circumcision-is-there.html?m=1 |title=Death Grip and Circumcision: Is There a Correlation? |last=Savage |first=Dan |init= |publisher=Joseph4GI |date=2019-11-17 |accessdate=2024-05-13}}</ref>
Practitioners of death grip masturbation may do better by using lubrication and a lighter grip.<ref>{{REFweb

The presence of the [[foreskin]], with its high degree of [[Foreskin sensitivity| sensitivity]] and easy [[gliding action]], eliminates any need or desire for death grip masturbation among [[intact]] men.<ref name="savage2019" />
===Restored penis===
[[Circumcision]] (foreskin amputation) was promoted in the nineteenth century to stop masturbation.<ref name="bigelow1995">{{REFbook

Many men who practice [[foreskin restoration]] report an improvement in their masturbation experience with their restored [[penis]] as compared with their previous [[circumcised]] penis. Notably, they typically report an improvement in [[gliding action]], in [[Foreskin sensitivity| sensation]], and a reduction or elimination of the need for lubrication.

This is a short video of a 22-year-old [[intact]] adult male masturbating to orgasm by manipulation of the foreskin. It illustrates the normal use of the [[foreskin]] in masturbation. It is provided here because many [[circumcised]] American males have little understanding of masturbation with a normal [[penis]].
