Psychiatrist 's  Response
Dear service user,
Thank you for contacting Healthcaremagic.
I have gone through your question and understand that you are worried about 'harmful' effects of masturbation.
Masturbation is akin to sexual intercourse. What penis does in vagina during sexual intercourse, same it does during masturbation in your folded palm. This is a natural activity and I would say a 'healthy' activity and does not either affect or deter sexual performance. It is myth that masturbation causes impotency in future. It’s the belief about semen loss which leads to anxiety which in turn causes erectile dysfunction.
Let me tell you young friend that there is no such thing as excessive masturbation or over-masturbation. Just as 'excess' of sexual intercourse cannot lead to weakness, so also 'excess' of masturbation.
Lack of knowledge leads to anxiety (You said you are finished, Just throw such negativity out of your mind)
1, Remain busy with your study and daily work.
2. Pass some time with sports and your friends.
3. Watch some good entertainment TV serials daily.
4. Go for regular physical exercises daily like running, jogging, swimming etc.

I recommend psychological counseling with a trained psychiatrist.
I hope this will help you.
Warm regards and wish you good sex life ahead.
