Que. I have heard that too much masturbation can cause a loss of eye sight and mental illness. Is there any truth to this?
Ans. The myths of masturbation have been dispelled and discounted since the early 1900s, though superstitions can endure for centuries. Blindness, insanity, epilepsy, laziness - these are some of the fears that have accompanied the thought of masturbation. Today, it is therapeutically recognized as a positive activity. A man or woman can relieve stress and tension, get to know themselves and what pleases them sexually and perform when it's convenient and private. It is the ultimate safe sex AND it feels good!

that is just another well marketed myth.. NOT reality..
as rightly pointed out, during early 1900 itself medical propaganda said all this.
Just that sperms and semen HAVE A LOT OF ZINC (zinc is good for eyesight.. so the false story got implanted.. but semen can also be lost during sex)
------------
as for - mental illness.. again, as per my opinion..
too much of anything; is actually an illness.. within limits and "as per need" masturbation, rather keeps one healthy
