Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Masturbation is not a bad habit at all. People have very false belief regarding the masturbation. Sperm production can be continued throughout the life. So, even if you release it, it won t do any harm to you. People are practising it since many years. In fact, it has distinct advantage of satisfaction of desire, pleasure and mental relaxation. Once you complete your act, your mind becomes very clear and you can do any work with good concentration. There is also no chance of any STDs with this act. Only thing I would suggest that your hand must be clear while you are doing the act. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Arun
