Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am 18 years old. Is it fine if I masturbate thrice a day once in a while? I have the urge to masturbate three times a day sometimes. I would like to know if it will cause any problems.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and understand your concern.
Masturbation is normal; ninety-five percent of males do that (out of a hundred males, ninety-five males). It is just another way of having sex without a partner. It is a good practice. It has the following advantages:
1. It helps to relieve stress.
2. Boosts mood.
3. Improves sleep.
4. Helps to prevent depression and anxiety.
5. Relaxes the mind of a person.
6. Relieves pain and muscle cramps.
7. Relieves the sexual tension.
8. Improves the confidence of a person.
9. Allows one to have better sex.
10. Helps the person understand his needs and desires.
11. In females, masturbation increases vaginal blood flow.
Masturbation would not harm your penis. Having it two to three times a week is not an issue; more than that, it can cause tiredness, loss of concentration, and a sense of infertility.
Ways to reduce masturbation:
For tiredness or a decrease in strength, you can use:

Thank you.
