Does regular masturbation, once or twice in a day, reduce penis girth, length or sperm production or cause ed and premature ejaculation?

Masturbation: Basically, none of the above. I would note, however that the number of sperm in a given ejaculation is reduced by ejaculations occurring this frequently. This may only be significant if trying to get pregnant.
