Is there any negative impact of masturbation on sexual health? Also, would it be okay if I masturbate around 5-6 times a week? I'm getting married soon, and I'm a bit worried about the size of my penis. Could you let me know what the average size is?

The typical erect penis is usually 5 to 6 inches long with a circumference of 4 to 5 inches.Masturbation is only considered a problem when it inhibits sexual activity with a partner, is done in public, or causes significant distress to the person. It may cause distress if it is done compulsively or interferes with daily life and activities
