A member asked:

Would it be a problem to masturbate when you are ill?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sure: You may have less privacy when you're under another's care, and it can be embarrassing if someone just drops in. Being sick is difficult enough without superstition. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
