Question:
Hi,

I am 19 years old and have masturbated 2 or 3 times a day since the age of 11.

I have read that so much masturbation will cause impotence and weak erections. i dont think i have these symptoms but am REALLY worried about it.

Is is true does so much masturbating cause these horrible things to happen?? If so how do i know if i will get them and how to prevent it?

I hope you reply a soon as possible.

Thank you so much for your time.

If you do not have any problem now, do not worry because unnecessary worry can cause a lot of harm.

You can masturbate provided you have the natural urge to do it but do not use it as a too to overcome worry or stress. Do not force your body or mind to do it.
