I'm masturbating daily and I'm a bit worried about whether this frequency might affect my sperm count. Plus, I've noticed I've got quite a few pimples on my face. I'm wondering if there might be a connection between masturbation and acne. Could you give me some advice on this?

Masturbating once a day is considered a normal and healthy frequency; research suggests that frequent ejaculation, including masturbation, may not significantly impact sperm count or fertility in healthy males; however, excessive masturbation (multiple times a day) may lead to temporary decreased sperm count, but this effect is reversible; regarding pimples, there is no direct scientific link between masturbation and acne
