Posted on Wed, 18 Feb 2015
Question: Hi Doctor ,
Kindly bare if this question seems Obvious as this is again on the most Frequent topic masterbuation.
After reading so many articles here and as well as outside this Portal , am putting forth this question just to be double sure.

Recently read an article here saying on the ways to control masterbuation.

I tiried following that but Inspite of how much i control , I could not last more than 5 days and I did that again.

So , My freqeuncy is once in 5 days and am doing it for the Past 6 years and am in mid 25.

Am i in a Safer Zone ?

Please clarify.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

I can understand your concern.

It is better to confirm from doctor rather than reading an article on net about your problem.I appreciate your attitude.

I accept that there are lots of information available on masturbation on internet.But some of them are misleading.
It has been proved scientifically that masturbation has no harmful effect on sexual life or health at all.

Masturbation is the natural process done by 90-95% males in the world in there lifetime.
Advantages:
-You can satisfy your sexual desire without disturbing anyone
-No chance of transmission any sexual disease
-It helps in future sex life and prevent premature ejaculation

No specific criteria which can be called normal frequency.One can do masturbation whenever he feels desire to do so. Frequency varies from once in a day to once in a week.

You are doing once in 5 days.That is absolutely fine.It is safe method.

Masturbation is problematic only when you have to do compulsorily in excess and at cost of your routine and occupational work.

Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.

Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki
