I'm a bit concerned about how often I should be masturbating. Are there any health effects from doing it? Like, is there a recommended number of times a week or month that's considered healthy? I just want to make sure I'm not overdoing it.

Masturbation is a normal and healthy part of human sexuality, with no serious physical or mental health effects when done in moderation; a healthy frequency can vary, but general guidelines suggest 2-3 times a week is normal, while excessive masturbation (more than 1-2 times a day) can lead to issues like fatigue, guilt, or decreased sexual sensitivity.

Question

I'm really concerned because it's been two years since I've had morning erections. I can't figure out what's causing this. Can you help me understand what's happening?

I've been feeling my testicles getting hot most of the time, especially when I'm sitting. There's no itching or redness, just this warmth that's got me a bit worried. I've only been married for about 2.5 months. Could this be something serious, or is it just a normal thing?

Question

I'm experiencing really bad pain in my testicles that spreads to my groin and my back thighs. My doctor had given me some antibiotics and it got better, but now, two months later, the pain is back again. I'm really worried about what's causing this recurring pain. Could you please help me figure out what might be going on?
