Coitus Interruptus?

Q: When I orgasm during masturbation, I squeeze the end of my penis so that I don't ejaculate and create a "mess." My question: Is this unhealthy or can it cause any physical problems?

A: When you squeeze the head of your penis hard enough, you close up the opening to your urethra. This actually simulates a condition known as retrograde ejaculation, a malfunctioning of the urethral sphincters which inhibits men from being able to ejaculate.

Retrograde ejaculation has been studied for many years and there has been no evidence of long-term harm. In such situations, the semen backs up into the bladder, where it is soon eliminated during urination.

So if you don't find the sensation unpleasant, I see no harm. But aren't tissues an easier solution?
