Is it unhealthy to masturbate? can you hurt yourself doing it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's good for you: It helps prepare you for your role as husband / father and/or stay relaxed and focused for other things. Safe if you're not crazy-rough on yourself. If you have an obsession or compulsion involving erotica that you know is interfering with your ordinary life, your personal physician can help with learning new thinking and living skills and perhaps rx.
