Is Masturbation Harmful?

I have read multiple articles and websites about masturbation seeking an answer regarding whether or not it is harmful, and if so in what ways. Unfortunately, some said it's harmless some harmful and listed several things such as hair loss, weakened eye site etc...I would like to know from a medical and professional point of view, which is it? Is masturbation harmful? If so how? What is a good masturbation frequency? I am 22 years old, never been sexually active yet, I weight 155 lbs and I am 5'9''.

Hello
Thanks for query .
Based on the facts that you have been indulged in masturbation and now worried about so called anticipated problems in future discussed by general population .

First of all there is myth in a mind of common man that excessive masturbation is the reason of all sexual problems or various general health problems But I would like to state that it has been discussed in scientific forums all over the world and proved scientifically that masturbation does not have any negative effect on any organ or system in the body .

Masturbation is safest way to achieve sexual satisfaction without a female partner .One can safely masturbate twice a week .
