Is masterbation healthy?

Yes: Masturbation is a healthy, normal part of sexuality. It can help you learn what feels good to you so you can communicate better with your partner. The only time masturbation is harmful is if it becomes obsessive and interferes with your daily activities or takes the place of meaningful relationships.

Yes: It's a great stress reducer.

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.
