No.: If it were, the world would have a much smaller population!

Masturbation safety: Masturbation is not normally harmful to physical health. However, if one is overly aggressive or uses objects which are contaminated or shaped in a manner that could puncture, then infection or injury could occur.

Neither good nor bad: Normal men, women, boys, and girls masturbate (it's universal). It isn't harmful, as the body goes through similar effects during regular sex with a partner (but too much of anything may become a problem). Masturbation does not stunt height, cause hair loss or gray hair, make you weak, create heart problems, lower testosterone, affect virginity, lower fertility, change your weight, or damage eyes.
