11 Feb Risky Masturbation Is Killing People Every Day, Doctor Warns

It’s been widely discussed in the media how sex is great for one’s health, but did you know that unsafe masturbation practices are killing people every day?

According to one Frankfurt, Germany-based doctor, Dr. Herald Voss, between 80 and 100 people die in each year in Germany alone as a result of risky self-pleasuring techniques.

Official statistics show very low rates of death from unsafe masturbation, but Dr. Voss believes the number is actually much higher due to loved ones disguising the method of death. This means that many of these types of deaths go unreported.

“The number of unreported cases is extremely high, which is a very rare case in forensic medicine,” Dr. Voss told, Bild, a German newspaper.

He continued by adding that when authorities find a dead body with signs of masturbation such as pornography nearby and no suicide note, then the death is ruled accidental and is not sent to forensics for further examination.

This practice has not allowed some families to find closure. For example, autoerotic asphyxiation is a leading cause of sex-related death. With the use of rope around the neck, the question of suicide often comes into play.
