Hi,

Masturbation is a normal physiological process. Once a person becomes sexually mature, semen production starts which is a continuous process. A person the either has sex, or masturbates and has night falls. None of it causes any kind of problems. Masturbation doesn't lead to any physical or mental health problems. It also doesn't cause any problem with sexual performance, and potency. You can masturbate any number of time you wish too.

Regarding your going to a commercial sex worker, its upto you to decide whether you want to do it or not. But, if you decide to do it, make sure you are following adequate precautions. The safest way to fulfill your desire is to masturbate and you can continue doing it.

Hope this information was helpful. Best wishes.
