Brief Answer:
It is normal

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for the query
There is nothing wrong with daily masturbation . It is within normal expression of sexuality Masturbation is normal because it is similar to Vaginal sex . It is controlled by rising hormone levels which is a natural act. There are many misconceptions for masturbation but don't be misled. No relation with fathering a child later on because fertility and virility are separate . One may be infertile but good in sex.
