Hello doctor, I have heard that masturbation leads to zinc depletion and zinc in the testicles helps testosterone boost, is zinc depleted in significant amount? I masturbate about once a week, will it make any difference?

Masturbation is regarded as a normal, healthy sexual activity. In general, the medical community considers masturbation to be a natural and harmless expression of sexuality for both men and women. It does not cause any physical injury or harm to the body, and can be performed in moderation throughout a person's lifetime as a part of normal sexual behavior. It will not affect you or your ability to have children in the future. If you wish to reduce the frequency of masturbation: It originates from brain, due to thinking about sex. Hence: � Do not watch adult material. � Concentrate more on your studies or work. � Exercise regularly.
