The habit of masturbation is found among almost all the stages of life, right from infancy to old age.

Excessive stimulation causes over production of sex hormones and neurotransmitters including acetylcholine, dopamine and serotonin. This abundant production of hormones causes brain and adrenal glands to exhibit dopamine-norepinephrine-epinephrine conversion in excess which results in various unexpected and rapid changes in body chemistry.
