I've just turned 17 and I've never really tried masturbating before, but I've had a few instances of night fall, and I'm kind of wondering if that's normal. Is there something wrong with me because of this?
Nightfall, also known as nocturnal emission, is a normal and common occurrence in adolescent males, especially during puberty, and it's not necessarily related to masturbation; as long as you're not experiencing other symptoms like pain, difficulty urinating, or excessive frequency, there's likely no cause for concern, but if you're worried, consider speaking with a healthcare provider or a trusted adult for guidance.
