A member asked:

Im 17 male and i always masturbate should i go doctors

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Why ?: This is considered a normal part of emerging human sexuality. It is more common in adolescence with a transition into more typical sexual activity when older. It is frowned on in many cultures and has many myths attached to its practice. You don't try to fix normal.
