A member asked:

Whether retrograde masturbation which is done by squeezing the penis at the moment of ejaculation is harmful?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Masturbation in general is unlikely to be harmful.: Conceivably if you continue with retrograde ejaculation secondary to penile compression you might damage the posterior valve. I think that is unlikely to occur but why take the chance. Normal ejaculation is physiologic in a normal function.
