'Beating [the] aeroplane' would be it, in Cantonese.

It's only unhealthy due to the possibility of mental addiction to the act (action brings about gratification, result: repeat the action), and social stigma. Much like how physical contact between romantic partners may be frowned upon in some places and not others.

If someone can provide a link to a causal (and not a correlative) research on masturbation and any physical side effects, I'd gladly read it. Otherwise, please stop scaring the poor fellow.

But what's the long word for TFK 'Tong Fong Ko'? 'Ting Fing King'? Something? lol.... unless you guys can't say it?

u sure u wana know? wired to tell in forum...anyway..as for ts....stop whenever u felt uncomfortable..as 20s is the peak season of guys...or find a gf...

Weird to mention how to say the full TFK word or the meaning? But Nevins said 'Beating [the] aeroplane'.. that doesn't sound weird, even if the actual meaning is (and why that is related to masturbation o.O) But nah, it's okay.. if it's weird to be mentioned here then it's ok, was just curious that's all

But TFK is a normal thing..

Well if you really must have it spelled out: Ta Fei Kei.

I'm not very good with hanyupinyin and/or the Cantonese variant so I didn't want to make a mistake. Why would it be related to masturbation...? That I do not know, being the culturally-isolated Chinese that I am.

And you're right, masturbation is but a normal part of physical development. I daresay almost everyone here has experienced it in one form or another at some point in time. It may not necessary involve direct hand contact, but let's not go into that sort of discussion just yet.

No, no studies have been able to prove otherwise .. So, I guess do go and enjoy those 'experiences', masturbation is frowned upon due to the social view towards sexuality rather than preverse effect on health.

Well thank you Nevins lol Just wanted to know the full word, that's all.. Is the full word a taboo word for Chinese? Because you guys seem reluctant to say the full word.

But what I can see, masturbation is more frowned upon by very religious people and older generations.. for younger generation nowadays like us, it seems like a very normal thing and can even discuss with friends like it's an everyday thing. I haven't heard of anyone who does it reporting of having any unhealthy effect unless you use other than 'traditional' methods which I don't want to mention. It just can affect your ways of thinking.. some people can become too addicted and too perverted, which is so not good..

Just as long as one doesn't become like Jim in the movie American Pie, then it should be ok, haha. But if TS wants to stop once and for all, then I don't think there's any effect on the body.. just your mind because you've been doing it for years, and now you want to stop.. but yeah, gradually reducing it is good..

To TS! Couldn't agree less with other forumers. You'll eventually get bored and tired with TFK when you set foot into the working life. And I don't see any side effects of your action. The only side effect would be having wet dream. That's all I could think of at this moment.

but wanna ask, do u guys have as frequent wet dreams now as wat u used to have when u were teen if u din tfk?

nothing wrong with it..
u wont die from TFK. hahahahhaaa

but screwing a hooker might.. AIds...

It's not taboo, it's just that some may be somewhat embarrassed to talk about it. I use proper terminology anyway so it's not an issue for me.

You're right, it's frowned upon by some social circles, religious groups not the least, simply because of the stigma attached to it. Life and times may change, but mindsets rarely do. And even then, not altogether willingly.

End of the day, as long as no one is mentally hooked to it, then it's perfectly normal; not something you'd want to announce to the world, but a normal phase in sexual development nonetheless. Perhaps when the powers-that-be introduce proper sexual education in schools, the general public will be better informed about this, as opposed to having to sift through potentially misleading, conflicting, or plain 'makes-no-sense' information.

Nah TS,its perfectly normal for that thing to happen
btw if u stopped doing it no side effects or something ler but got once i got it off my mind and started to get used to it
then TFK isn't my fav liao
suddenly a few days hand itchi go do again now everyday once again back to the world..hmm get a gf then u will think about normal things bah..that happens to me though haha

links pls.

i have the same problem. but i can control abit unlike ts.
trust me. this doesnt help much. maybe it does abit. coz wen the times im not wif my gf n i get horny i have to do it and it happens quite often whenever she's not around.

nah its very different. the feeling and the whole process of having sex and masturbating. people who experienced both should know.

Guess what..
TFK is actually a good habit for males but don't do it too often..

Benefits can be gained from TFK :

- Burns less amount of calories
- Recycles produced sperms & semens
- Releases tension/stress
And lots more..

TFK too much will cause a male to feel tired easily and nothing will happen to you if you stop doing that from now onwards.
Have fun =)

have to agree with most of this.
first- TFK does burn calories because of muscle contraction and movement but too little. more calories can be burned through sexual intercourse.
second- yeah because sperms life cycle is only 72 hours(3days) after its going to die also so why not just take it out?
third- its true and sometimes it can lower your sexual feelings which can lead to rape/molesting.
