Specializes in Psychiatry

If can be.: If you masturbate to that point that tissues are raw, you are sore or bruised or you introduce germs by placing objects in your body - that may be harmful. Additionally if excessive masturbation prevents you from engaging in other areas of you life - that is problematic.
