Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Masturbation is very common among adults. It can be a route to safer sex, to help prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. It allows for sexual pleasure for those who are not ready to engage in vaginal, anal or oral sex. It allows people to become familiar and comfortable with their body. For men, it can help them increase ejaculatory control and manage rapid or delayed ejaculation. There are no harmful side effects of masturbation. Medical science has debunked many myths formally associated with masturbation, such as hair growing on the palms, insanity, or that masturbation will drain excessive energy from the body or wrinkles on face. Sperm is produced daily in your body and excess masturbation may delay ejaculation and also quantity of ejaculation will also be less. But this will be recovered once an individual reduces the frequency of masturbation. Masturbation is a healthy sexual behavior. Like other behaviors, when over practiced or addicted, it can lead to both psychological and physiological imbalances. Acceptable frequency of masturbation is 3 to 4 times per week and it is again subjective. If you masturbate daily and it is disturbing your daily routine then it is better to come out of that habit. Try these methods: 1. Avoid being lonely 2. Avoid watching porn if you have habit of watching 3. Develop new hobbies 4. Play outdoor games 5. Practice some meditation techniques 6.
