Masterbation : No but in future may effect performance Bc of sensations etc. so consider a decrease in frequency to allow added sensitivity

No: Masturbation is a normal aspect of human sexuality. There is no normal frequency and you may masturbate as often as you want. Unless you are doing it so much that you are missing work and avoiding social situations then it is normal. There are no long term harmful health effects from masturbation
