==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 |url=https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/319536#is-there-a-link |title=Frequent ejaculation and prostate cancer risk |last=Anonymous |first= |init= |publisher=Medical News Today |date=2022-03-25 |accessdate=2023-10-23}}</ref>
The manner of male masturbation tends to be controlled by the [[circumcision]] status of the individual.
There is no minimum age for masturbation. Young adolescents may experience dry orgasms until secretion of [[semen]] commences.
