Does Masturbation Affect Memory?
Question: I mastrubate once a day. Is it too much? Can it cause infertility? Can it result into poor memory?What are the other side effects?How many times can I mastrubate? My age is 26
Brief Answer:
Excess of any thing is bad.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.
Masturbation is totally a harmless activity. It doesn't cause any infertility or any sort of sex related disorder.
It can only cause Psychogenic sexual issues that too just by thinking that since you masturbate you will get some harm.
It is said that 99% of men masturbate and the remaining 1% lie!!
So it's a natural phenomenon that is absolutely harmless.
But excess of everything is bad. You should not indulge in it that much that it starts interfering with your routine activities, work , studies and play.
There is no definitive number that you can go ahead for masturbation.
However I suppose once daily is absolutely acceptable.
I hope it helps you.
If you have any further query, please ask me.
