Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am an 18 year old woman and with school and trying to find a job, I have a lot of stress on a day to day basis. I find that masturbating before bed helps me de-stress and fall asleep easier. Is that a problem medically though and could it have negative effects in the future?
Dear user, Thanks for writing to HCM. I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Masturbation in private or with a partner is a normal and healthy part of sexual enjoyment. Sexual arousal and orgasm releases certain chemicals in your brain which alleviates stress and induces relaxation. Sexual intercourse is of course not bad hence masturbation. There are no negative effects on your health and sex life. Relax. Wish you good health.
