Hello Dr. I wanted to ask that does masturbation has any side effects. And how many times in a week can one masturbate? Also while having sex if one doesn't use a protection. Are there any medicines that one can take for late ejaculation of sperm? And how can one increase sperm count?

Hello- masturbation happens as a result of a deep seated craving, an unfulfilled desire that is not getting addressed. When the release happens, a person feels relaxed with a sense of temporary fulfillment. But the after effects are a feeling of being wasted, low energy levels, backaches, feeling gassy, bloatedness, lack of appetite, dry skin, pimples, running nose, cough and colds, allergic colds, skin lacking lustre, joint pains and tightness, dark circles under the skin, bad posture (one who assumes a stoop), low libido, hair fall, a deeper sexual urge that makes a person feel guilty (as one starts to rely on sex and sexuality all the time), irritable bowels, constipation, emotional lows, feeling like crying, high sense of guilt etc? it is important for you to understand here that masturbation is spending stored up energy in the body. The semen (called as shukra dhatu in ayurveda) is the one which enables us to sustain our immunity levels in the body. Ojas (a fluid that is present in the semen gives us the immunity and is responsible to store the energy for the same). As one masturbates, there is a heavy energy loss and as a consequence, one looses immunity in the body.
