A member asked:

Do masturbation have any effect on muscles strength and metabolism level if i do it regularly 3- 4 times in a day?

Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Masturbation: Should not be counted upon to increase your metabolic rate or as a muscle building program. Isn't masturbating up to 4 times a day taking away time from other life events?
