Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Masturbation within limits is a safe and pleasurable sexual activity enjoyed by most people. It is said that masturbation is normal 2 to 3 times a week. This basically releases sexual tension and is also lowers stress.

Masturbation becomes a problem when done more than once daily and if your mind is busy with thoughts of masturbation and sexual nature and you are unable to concentrate on your work and study.

Going by your situation, at 16 years age you are certainly growing up and need to eat well and have a regular fitness plan. Masturbation once in 3 days is not dangerous.
