A member asked:

Does over-masturbation (1-2 times daily) cause loss of testosterone and growth hormone? i masturbated a lot this weekend and my penis hurts a bit!

Take it easy: Masturbation is normal at every age and pain may be related to friction or "overuse". At your age your testosterone is very rapidly replenished and it will never affect your growth hormones.

No: There is no documented evidence that masturbation has any effect on the depletion of hormone levels.

Cleveland Clinic: "Masturbation is a normal, healthy part of your sexual development. It involves the use of your hands, fingers, sex toys or other objects to stimulate your genitals and other sensitive areas of your body for sexual pleasure. Masturbation has many documented health benefits." It may reduce stress, improve sleep and ease pain, among other benefits.
