Here are several myths associated with masturbation. None of them are true, but you've probably heard many of them anyway. Many of these myths were created years ago, when society was against masturbation and looked for ways to scare young men and women away from enjoying the pleasures of masturbation.

• Masturbation will make you go blind.
• Masturbation will stunt your growth.
• Masturbation will give you acne.
• Masturbation will give you hairy palms.
• Masturbation will make you go insane.
• Masturbation will end your virginity (although women should take care not to pierce the hymen).
