A Nigerian medical practitioner has admonished men to masturbate and have plenty of sex to live a healthy life.
In a publication seen by eelive.ng, a medical doctor known as Dr. Rasheed Abassi mentioned that men should practice self-pleasure, otherwise known as masturbation or ‘soapy’.
He made this statement during his recent appearance on the Morayo Show.

The discussion began when the panel addressed what unmarried men and women can do to maintain their sexual health before marriage. While acknowledging that some religious beliefs oppose masturbation, Abassi argued that medical science views the issue differently.

“There is nothing wrong with soapy for men,” he said. “There is a study that came out for men over the age of 50; we actually get more benefits when we do masturbation once in a while.”
When the speaker pointed out that masturbation contradicts Christian teachings and should not be publicly encouraged, Abassi responded that scientific recommendations are based on evidence rather than religious considerations.
“The scientific community is very mindful of this,” he said. “That does not stop them from going away from facts.”

Abassi further argued that regular sexual activity or ejaculation can contribute to overall well-being, insisting that individuals must decide how to reconcile medical advice with their personal beliefs.
“When you are not using your body, trust me, your body is the best machine God made. When you are not using it, some parts will get rusty. Some parts will not function,” he said.
Comparing the human body to a vehicle that requires regular use to remain functional, he added, “It’s like buying a Mercedes-Benz and not driving it. After some time, the first thing is your brake; it will go away.”
According to the doctor, maintaining sexual health can have long-term benefits. “In order for us to live long, avoid cardiac problems, avoid prostate problems, and live long enough to enjoy the children you’ve raised with all your hustle, my brother, find a solution. The solutions are out there. Pornography is one, having side-chick is another one and soapy too is there”
