A member asked:

Does masturburation has any bad effect in our health... does it reduces fat in our body?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No, and not unless..: There should be no weight loss caused by masturbation unless one is not taking a break for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. However, one might be eating fewer calories if he replaced a frequent snacking habit with a new habit of frequent masturbation (an unusual situation).
