A member asked:

Will too much masturbation cause erectile dysfunction or other complications?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No, not at all: There is a wide range of normal libido, or sexual interest. As long as sexual activity does not interfere with other important aspects of your life, then how often you masturbate or have sex is up to you, and is not linked to health risks.
