Does Masturbation Cause Mental Or Physical Harm?

hi doctor, i am a 20 yro male, i masturbate daily . I do a lot of exercise like workout at least 5 times a week, also i am not like other guys, I don t feel weakened nor exhausted after masturbating instead i feel fairly good because my libido finally get released( it is said that workout will probably boost libido). Beside, my usual life don t get affected with doing it daily. So, i feel so good with it, is it still harmful for me mentally or physically? i am afraid that even it is mentally healthy for me, it hurts my kidney then affect process of my protein absorb whatsoever. THX!!!

Hi and thanks for sharing your concern with HCM.

Masturbation is a normal, healthy part of life as long as it does not interfere with other aspects of life. Masturbating regularly becomes a problem if it causes you distress, pain and interferes with other activities. It is also a problem if you find yourself unable to stop masturbating.
In fact, masturbating has a few health benefits; it might prevent prostate cancer, make your erection harder, allow you to last longer, improve your mood and boost your immunity.
As you have mentioned, it does not affect your daily life. It cannot hurt your kidneys or affect protein absorption or metabolism.
