Dear service user, Thank you for writing to healthcare magic. I have gone through your question and understand your concerns about effects of masturbation. I will try to satisfy your curiosity in the best way I can. Masturbation is akin to sexual intercourse. What penis does in vagina during sexual intercourse, same it does during masturbation in your folded palm. This is a natural activity and I would say a healthy activity and does not either affect or deter sexual performance. It is myth that masturbation causes impotency in future. Masturbation is sex with someone (in fantasy) you really love. Masturbation does neither damage nerves nor it depletes semen. No need to get frustrated. Relax. I recommend psychological counseling with a trained psychiatrist. Hope this will help you. Wish you good health.
