    • It becomes more liquid or runny after a short time due to enzyme activity.

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.

I'm worried about my sperm discharging too quickly and having a low sperm count. After releasing, I often feel really weak. Can you give me some advice on what might help with this?

it seems you have a side effects of excessive masturbation... Let me brief you.. Masturbation is a natural phenomenon. All men do this but as a natural principle excess of everything is always bad, so you must try to control it. Don't do it more than once or twice in a month. Don't worry you can do that... just do not watch porn Try not to be remain alone, don't read or view sexual literature, books, whatsApp & porn videos etc. Avoid oily, more spicy, Chilly and junk foods. Do exercise daily for one hr or yoga mainly Pranayam Meditation vajroli Mudra... Ashwini mudra. Start reading religious books. Please note that now a days the main drawback and side effect of the masturbation is once you are addicted to masturbation mostly and always by watching porn where you get different type of stories... relations... girls body... and styles... etc. Once u got married u don't get all those things with wife so u don't get aroused and you don't get proper erection. Now a day's mostly patients comes to us with the complaint that they are not able to get erection with wife in the bed but they are getting erection in the bathroom while masturbation. This is creating a lot of problem in their married life so my advice is to control it. If u are not able to do so then you must consult your family doctor, many times it's not possible to control without the help of your doctor. You can take Chandra kala ras 1 tablet morning and night after food Yastimadhu chuma 3gms morning and night with water
