I really appreciate your help, i just need to know for a fact that not masturbating won't cause prostatitis or any other harm. thank you for your time?

No harm: If you choose to masturbate or to abstain from masturbation, neither will cause any physical harm, but masturbation is a good outlet for sexual tension and doesn't carry risk of infection or pregnancy and is safe.
