Is Frequent Masturbation Harmful?

I am 14 and I end up masturbating 6 times every week despite trying to cut it short to 4 times. Is it harmful? And, I read in some sites that masturbation more than 3 times a week causes lower back pain, fatigue, memory loss, hair loss etc. Are all these true?

Hi,

Masturbation is normal, it’s just another way of having sex without a partner. It’s a good practice, helps to calm your mind and release happy and stress bursting enzymes.

Having 2 to 3 times a week is not an issue, more than that is also not an issue , but needs adequate nutrition and exercise which will be difficult to fulfill

Ways to reduce Masturbation

1.     Sex education
2.     Physical exercises
3.     Sleep adjustment
4.     Quality of sleep
5.     Healthy and balanced diet
6.     Programming for leisure time
7.     Development of spirituality
8.     Taking a cold bath

Negative Effects of Masturbation
1.     The weakness of physical power
2.     Poor vision
3.     Damages to the sexual organs and impotence
4.     Lack of memory and forgetfulness
5.     Aggression and anger
6.     prefers loneliness

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
