I'm really curious about how masturbation affects testosterone levels. Like, is there a frequency that's considered okay or safe? I'm just a bit worried because I've read that doing it too much can mess with testosterone, and I want to make sure I'm not unintentionally causing any issues. Can you share any insights on how often it's alright without it impacting testosterone levels?

Masturbation does not significantly affect testosterone levels in the long term. Its generally safe and normal to masturbate as often as you feel comfortable, as long as it doesnt interfere with your daily life, relationships, or responsibilities.

Hey, I'm really trying to shake off this habit of excessive masturbation. I'm worried it might be messing with my body and nerves because I feel super nervous and can't face anyone. Could this be from too much masturbation? I'm 23 years old. Is it too late for me to quit and get back to normal? How do I overcome this?

Reducing or eliminating any habit takes time, patience, and self-compassion. Youre not alone in your struggle, and its important to approach the process with kindness to yourself. Start by focusing on your overall mental and physical health, and gradually, youll likely notice positive changes in your energy levels, mood, and ability to face social situations confidently.

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.
