I'm really curious about whether masturbation is actually good or bad for my health. I've come across some old texts that mention the importance of preserving semen, and it's got me thinking. If it is okay to masturbate, how many times should I be doing it in a week? And is there a way to replenish semen after losing it?

Masturbation, when done in moderation, is generally considered a normal and healthy activity. It doesn't harm physical health and can even help reduce stress. Ancient texts may emphasize semen retention, but from a modern medical perspective, there is no need to worry about "semen loss" from occasional masturbation. It's essential to maintain balance, and frequency can vary individuallyusually, 2-3 times a week is typical, but it should always be based on personal comfort and well-being.

I've noticed some white bubbles in the toilet after I pee, and it's definitely not because of splashing. I'm wondering if this could be why I'm not gaining any weight? Also, after I masturbate, I sometimes feel really weak, and I even get pain in my body, like in my hands or legs. What might be causing all this, and who should I talk to for some help?
