A member asked:
Does, masturbation cause oxidation of cones/rods and hence leads to retinal thinning or other adverse effects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Normal men, women, boys, and girls masturbate (it's universal). It is not 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 acne or hair loss, make you weak, create heart problems, lower testosterone, affect virginity, lower fertility, change your weight, or damage vision.
