Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Regarding masterbation there are various opinions. According to modern medicine masterbation in moderation is ok. But excessive can have psychosocial impacts. The person will have decreased interest in sex. Those who are addicted to it prefer it over normal sexual activity. Benefits of moderate masterbation is it will decrease the sexual urge and attain satisfaction when you don't have a parntner. There are some allegations like loss of zinc by excess masterbation. But it can be replenished if taking food containing zinc in adequate amount.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
