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.

I'm a 25-year-old woman who just got married, and my husband is 26. We're not planning to have a baby for at least three more years. However, my husband has been experiencing premature ejaculation. Could this lead to pregnancy? What steps can we take to address this, and what type of protection should I consider?

Yes, premature ejaculation can still lead to pregnancy, as sperm can be present in pre-ejaculatory fluids; to manage this, consider consulting a urologist or sexologist for guidance on treating premature ejaculation, and in the meantime, use condoms or other barrier methods as a reliable form of birth control, and consider emergency contraception like Plan B or i-Pill if you have unprotected sex.
