Dr. Robert Killian answered

Specializes in General Practice

Masturbation: Masturbation is a normal and common part of the human experience. There is no medical or scientific reason to limit one's sexual activity. As you age there will be phases of more sexual desire and phases of less sexual desire. But, there should be no shame or worry if you masturbate.
