A member asked:
Are there any health risks from not masturbating or ejaculating? in other words, will i be chastised by a doctor for not masturbating? thank you
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Masturbation is a natural sexual activity that most, though certainly not all, people do at some point in their lives. Whether one masturbates or not is purely and simply a personal choice. There is no "normal" frequency and there are no health risks associated with not masturbating. No physician or healthcare professional should "chastise" or "judge" you based on whether you masturbate or not.
