A member asked:

Hello, does over masturabate (about one/ day ) since puberty cause impotence or other side effect on penile and erection ? i have impotence .

No: many young men masturbate frequently, even daily, and that does not cause impotence. Usually at a young age, impotence is more due to emotional causes rather than physical causes, but not always, so if it is a persistent problem, you should see your doctor. Good luck.
