This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Is masturbation good for an 18-year-old boy? I want to know, please tell me the answer. And if it is good, please tell me the chart for how many times we should masturbate in a day. Please give me the answer.

Kindly suggest.

Hello,

I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.

I can understand your concern.

Masturbation is normal; ninety-five percent of males do it (out of a hundred males, ninety-five). It is just another way of having sex without a partner. It is a good practice because:

  1. It helps relieve stress.
  2. Boosts mood.
  3. Improves sleep.
  4. Helps prevent depression and anxiety.
  5. Relaxes the mind.
  6. Relieves pain and muscle cramps.
  7. Relieves sexual tension.
  8. Improves confidence.
  9. Allows one to have better sex.
  10. Helps a person understand their needs and desires.
  11. In females, masturbation increases vaginal blood flow.

Masturbation will not harm your penis; having it two to three times a week is not an issue, but more than that can cause tiredness, loss of concentration, and a sense of infertility.

Ways to reduce masturbation:

  1. Sex education.
  2. Physical exercises.
  3. Adjusting sleep habits.
  4. Improving sleep quality.
  5. Maintaining a healthy and balanced diet.
  6. Planning leisure time.
  7. Developing spirituality.
  8. Taking cold baths.

For tiredness or decreased strength, I suggest you take:

  1. Take a capsule of Astymin Forte (a combination of amino acids, taurine, and multivitamins) once in the morning.
  2. Take tablet Shelcal (vitamin D and Calcium) once at night after food for thirty days.

You can always come back and reach me at icliniq.com.

Thank you for consulting me.
