I've been masturbating every day for the past three years and I'm wondering if this might cause any sexual issues. Can you help me understand if there are any risks? And how can I go about reducing or stopping this habit?

Daily masturbation for 3 years can lead to issues like desensitization, erectile dysfunction, or premature ejaculation, but it's not a guarantee; to stop or reduce masturbation, try techniques like mindfulness, meditation, exercise, or hobbies to redirect your energy, and consider seeking professional help from a therapist or counselor if needed.

I'm concerned about not being able to ejaculate during intercourse with my girlfriend. I tried for about half an hour, but nothing happened until I masturbated afterward. Could there be something wrong with me?

Normal, nothing to worry ok.

Hey, so I've got this friend who's been masturbating like 45 times a week for about three years now, and I'm really worried about him. Could this have any negative effects on him now, or even down the road? And, like, considering he's a student, is it healthy to be doing it that much? Are there any downsides or anything he should be concerned about? If there are issues, could you let me know what steps he might take to make up for any harm that's already been done?

it's a urinary track infection
