Mixed Germany

The text states that up to 100 people in Germany die annually from extreme methods of masturbating.

Infact verdict: Mixed (47/100).

The claim that up to 100 people in Germany die annually from extreme methods of masturbating is based on reports from various sources, including news articles and online discussions. However, these sources lack authoritative backing and specific data to confirm the exact number of deaths. The claim appears to be based on anecdotal evidence and sensational reporting rather than verified statistics from credible health organizations or government reports. Therefore, while the claim is widely circulated, it lacks strong evidence to be considered factual.
