Is daily masturbation bad for my health? I have this habit of masturbating every day and Ive noticed it makes me feel tired afterward, but it also helps me fall asleep. Should I be worried about this?

Masturbating daily is generally not harmful to health if it doesn't interfere with daily life or cause physical discomfort. However, if you feel tired or reliant on it for sleep, it may be helpful to explore other ways to manage stress and sleep, such as relaxation techniques or a consistent bedtime routine.
