Hi,
There is no evidence to suggest that masturbation has any negative effects on body growth or weight loss. Masturbation is a normal and healthy sexual activity that can have positive effects on your physical and mental well-being. It can help reduce stress, promote relaxation, and improve sleep quality.
However, excessive masturbation can lead to temporary physical discomfort, such as soreness or irritation in the genital area. It is important to maintain a healthy balance and listen to your body's needs. If you have concerns about your body growth or weight, it is recommended to speak with a healthcare professional.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,

Hi,
Masturbation is a natural and normal sexual activity that does not have any negative effects on physical health. It can have some positive effects such as stress relief and improved sleep. Masturbation does not affect body growth or cause weight loss.
Some people may experience guilt or shame around masturbation due to cultural or religious beliefs, but it is important to understand that masturbation is a personal choice and there is no right or wrong way to engage in sexual activity as long as it is safe, consensual, and does not harm oneself or others.
If you have concerns about your physical health or weight, it is important to talk to a healthcare professional who can provide you with personalized advice and guidance.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
