Dr. Robert Killian answered

Specializes in General Practice

Masturbation: Masturbation is a normal and common part of the human experience. There are, in general, no negative health consequences to this sexual practice. There is also no place for a physician to tell you how to be sexual. There are no health benefits to more frequent or less frequent sexual activity.
