A member asked:

Is masturbating okay? will it cause something serious if i masturbate once a day?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: It is considered a normal part of human sexuality. Many cultures frown on the practice & develop scary myths to discourage it. As long as it does not take up time you would use to pursue productive activities you are fine.
