Mummy: Johnny, you will go blind if you keep doing that.

Johnny: Yeah. OK. Can I just keep doing it until I need glasses?

 

[sixthson]

Being able to see is overrated anyway.

 

[WYSIWYG]

I guess going blind has its rewards!

Only if you come in your eye.

LucasVirginia, I apologize for all of the silly responses. They're joking because they were told the same thing when they were younger and know better now.

Here's a site with some good sense:

here's a section from it

Here are some of the leading myths:

� Masturbation leads to blindness

� Masturbation causes you to grow hair on the palms of your hands

� Masturbation causes you to become impotent later in life

� Masturbation leads to mental illness

� Masturbation permanently reduces libido, desire, and/or sexual performance

� Masturbation permanently reduces the quantity or quality of semen

We are happy to report that all of these myths and misconceptions have been proven to be false by the medical community.

Just a quick question can jerking off cause blindness if done on a regular bases?

Not if you are doing it correctly.

P.S. It's an old wives tale. No connection.
