They are only on my right (masturbating) hand. Is there a way to get rid of them? Are they normal?

Like the little bumps that sometimes can be found on the penis shaft, those bumps are just hair follicles developing. Soon you'll be sprouting hair on your palms – yes, because you've been masturbating, and before long everyone will know exactly what naughty things you do when you're by yourself. Just kidding! I don't know what bumps you're referring to, but this question falls into the popular "something-must-be-wrong-with-me-and-I-know-it's-because-I-masturbate" category. Just to clarify, masturbation doesn't cause bumps to form on the hands or the penis, and it doesn't have any other lasting physical effect on the human body. Anything you attribute to this healthy act is a result of your own imagination and sense of guilt. Quit worrying and learn to enjoy pleasuring yourself.
Do you find yourself masturbating more often during some seasons than others? Why?
