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 in private or with a partner is generally considered a normal and healthy part of sexual enjoyment.
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. This is a natural activity and I would say a 'healthy' activity and does not either affect or deter sexual performance.
Masturbation is not a disease hence no adverse effects. There is nothing to reverse. Masturbation causes impotency is a myth.
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.
Sexual intercourse is not BAD HABIT, so also the masturbation. No need to feel guilty. If you have excessive and inappropriate guilt, kindly get counseled with a psychiatrist.
If you have any further questions I will be happy to help. Wish you good health.
I find this answer helpful
