This is just a lie: I'm sorry somebody told you this. Prolonged abstinence allows resorption of the fluid in the prostate and the seminal vesicles and the sperm count gets slightly higher. Hence the myth of frequent ejaculation "lowering your sperm count." enjoying your body when you're by yourself won't hurt you or your children in any way, and you should be angry about being lied to in whatever it was that you read.

Being a guy: Nope. First every man you know masturbates. Second there are no negative health consequences to this normal and common sexual activity. Third, please remember to pass this truth on to your children when they are ready.
