Brain power: Brain is not in danger during masturbation except in cases of erotic asphyxia (permanent brain damage or death can occur). The sensation of pleasure linked to masturbation may lead to a habituation. Some find useful displacing the habit with healthy pleasure stimulating activities like sports or a hobbie. Sleep well, eat healthy, don't smoke or use drugs, read and you will have a stronger brain.
