A Research Paper Submitted for the Fulfillment of Requirements in English 2 at University of Nueva Caceres March 2012
I. A. Introduction The English word masturbation was introduced in the 18th century, based on the Latin verb masturbari, alongside the more technical and slightly earlier onanism. The Latin verb masturbari is of uncertain origin. Suggested derivations include an unattested word for "penis", *mazdo, cognate with Greekmzea, "genitals", or alternatively a corruption of an unattested *manustuprare ("to defile with the hand"), by association with turbare "to disturb". There is a wide array of more recent slang synonyms, among the most notable being to jerk off (1896) and wank (1948).While masturbation is the formal word for this practice, many other expressions are in common use. Terms such as playing with you, pleasuring oneself and slang such as wankingand jerking offare common. Self-abuse and self-pollution were common in early modern times and are still found in modern dictionaries. A large variety of other euphemisms and dysphemisms exist which describe masturbation. Masturbation or autoerotism is any kind of sexual self-stimulation that leads to erotic arousal. Orgasm is a frequent though not necessarily results. Masturbation is common sexual activity among males and females; most studies show that 90% of males and sixty percent of females at some point during their life. Masturbation is one of the quickest, most successful methods for many females to attain orgasm. Despite myths and fallacies that have developed over the years regarding masturbations ill effects on physical and mental health, it is a normal sexual activity ;indeed, its a useful means of developing ones sexual capacities. Young children, adolescents, and young and old adults often alike engage to masturbatory activities.

II. Review of related literature
Most studies and literatures on masturbation would point that it would too much lustful and by religion it is a sin most likely for Catholics. Most effects of masturbation were said harmful to health and most of people nowadays consider masturbation is a sin for people who do this thing. This literature would clarify studies regarding the questions on masturbation to build up thoughts with basis. Whoever has never had a lustful thought, be the first to say yes. How do we deal with such thoughts? In the light of Matt. 5:28, believers seem to be walking a tight rope everyday of their lives. But we believe lust is a very much misunderstood word and concept. It is precisely such a misunderstanding that caused Christians in the past to seclude themselves misunderstanding still prohibits Catholic priests from marrying. And it is this misunderstanding that leaves believers with the condemnation that they commit adultery every day of their lives.To living in caves a part from civilization. For us masturbation is just an act of sexual pleasuring and doesnt violate the law of the church. People masturbate for a number of reasons. Teenagers have a high sex drive and may need to get off frequently. Some people won't or can't get a partner, so they masturbate instead. And sometimes when people are bored, masturbation is just something to pass the time. There are urban myths about strange side effects (hairy palms, blindness, loss of fertility etc) but they were always just myths and have been proven untrue. Just make sure that you clean up afterwards and that you hygenically dispose of the Kleenex or the like that you used. There are no side effects of the masturbation unless you do it in excess i.e, 3 to 4 times a day. Control it to only once a week. If you do it a lot then you may suffer from muscular weekness+neuro related disorders+lack of confidence+poor concentration etc. Years ago when sex wasn't talked about much (and even to this day some people don't believe in masturbation and feel it's evil and lustful) someone would say, "If you do that, you'll go blind" simply to scare the person and have them stop what they were doing. Masturbation is normal and relief system for most men and some women, but if it interferes with your life and you're making it your major entertainment then you need to get a life. Masturbation is the same as having sex. Instead of ejaculating into the partner's body, you use your hand to stimulate the penis and achieve orgasm. In effect, the side effects of masturbation are the same as the side effects of having sex.
