A member asked:
Is it unhealthy for a male to periodically masturbate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Masturbation: No. Masturbation is a regular part of normal adolescence. Most young teenagers discover that masturbation is sexually pleasing and recognize that self-stimulation is an expression of their own developing sexuality. A child who masturbates is not oversexed, promiscuÂous, or sexually deviant. Nor will he go blind or insane, grow pimples or warts, or become sterile.
