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.
