Question:
Dear Dr. Stanley Ducharme:
First of all, thank you so much for time and understanding. I cannot say enough how much I respect your expertise and appreciate your time and kind attention.
Second, if I may, may I ask you to clarify your sentence: "...sexual health more related to whether masturbation occurrred in adolescence rather than the exact date it began or the length of time extended."?
From sexual health's point of view, what is better - whether masturbation occurred during adolescence or not? I would appreciate very much your clarification.
Once again, thank you so much for your response.
It is very important to me, and I appreciate it.
Warm regards

Bob;
Thanks again for your question. To clearify, it is my opinion that for good sexual health to develop that there must be a familiarity and comfort with one's genitals and sexual functioning. This knowledge and comfort can develop through self stimulation or masturbation. In addition,in my practice I have learned that controling ejaculation is a learned process that one learns through masturbation. Many men with problems of pre-mature ejaculation did not have the opportunity for masturbation to gain this skill. Therefore, it is my belief that rather than the date of beginning masturbation the important fact is whether masturbation occured at all. In addition, parental attitudes toward sexuality play a major role in the development of sexual health later in life.I hope that this helps to clearify my position on this subject. Good luck
