View allI've been masturbating every day for the past three months and I'm worried if this could have any harmful effects or cause problems in the future. Can you give me some advice on whether this is something to be concerned about?
Masturbation is a normal and healthy part of human sexuality. Masturbating once a day for 3 months is unlikely to cause harm. However, consider: - _Overstimulation_: Frequent masturbation can lead to temporary desensitization or discomfort. - _Skin irritation_: Aggressive or rough masturbation can cause skin irritation or injury. - _Impact on relationships_: Excessive masturbation might affect your relationships or daily life. No significant long-term problems are expected. If you're concerned, consult a healthcare provider or a sexologist for personalized advice.
