it burns calories and increases your pulse...even if only for a few minutes..

studies are even finding it may possibly prevent prostrate cancer, one of the leading killers of men.

so get out there and tug your stuff to fight cancer

    No, but I've heard that you can get serious carpal tunnel.

    I'm sorry, I had to go there. I had a bad moment and saw something where I needed the laugh.

    Well, to answer your question seriously, if you think about it, the only muscles which would benefit from this activity would have to be in the arm in which you are using. As far as how many calories you'd burn, I really don't know.

    If you need an excuse to masturbate then you must be doing something wrong.

    All exercise burns calories, even your hurt muscles burn calories, so just the increased heart rate will increase your calorie burn [very slightly].

    Probably more for women and less for men. Women seem to have to do more moving to umm...get themselves off.

    Good luck.

    Well I think if you masturbate long enough to work up a sweat it might burn some calories but not enough to tell.

    If it requires motion then there is calorie burn. Not a significant amount.
