Is Masturbation Harmful In The Long Term?

Hello Doctor,

I am male of 48 years and it has been quite some time that I have had sex with my wife. Reason for this long nterval is her poor health condition. In order to retain my normalcy, I masturebate regularly. Trust that by doing so, I am not causing any harm to myself and whether this halt in bodily contact with my wife will not lead to her ill health.

Dear service user,
Thank you for writing to healthcaremagic.
I understand your concern about possible effect of masturbation.
You did not report which health condition your wife suffering from? Hence you avoid sex.
Per se, masturbation for sexual satisfaction is harmless unless both of you are happy. It does not cause any health hazards.
Basic thing is pleasure and satisfaction for both of you, however you achieve.
Wish you good health.
