Dear M.Sultan,
Thank you for writing to Healthcaremagic.
I understand your concerns and will try my best to address it.

Masturbation is akin to sexual intercourse. What penis does in vagina during sexual intercourse, same it does during masturbation in your folded palm. This is a natural activity and I would say a 'healthy' activity and does not either affect or deter sexual performance. It is myth that masturbation causes impotency in future.
Excessive and inappropriate guilt after masturbation; compulsive masturbation needs psychiatric evaluation.
Kindly consult your psychiatrist to come out of the anxiety and guilt.
Warm regards.
