I have masturbated every day (once or more) for the past several years, will this have any long term effects? I?m begging think that I may have retrograde masturbation but is this just the result of very frequent masturbation instead? I also get very watery semen. Should I be worried?

Hello- several patients email us with questions about their sperm-related problems. Some notice discoloration; others, funny smells. Whether it?s the smell or the look, the health of your sperm depends on three factors: age, diet and ejaculation frequency. Older males tend to notice a decrease in semen production, while younger men with poor diets experience discoloration and awkward smells. But it?s the men who over masturbate that experience the least common issue: watery semen. From testosterone and nitric oxide to dopamine and serotonin, the body requires neurochemicals to help keep the sex drive alive. Each time a man ejaculates, the body loses a small portion of these chemicals. Over masturbation causes a huge loss in testosterone, hgh, dhea and prostaglandin e1 and e3, chemicals essential to proper sperm production. During hormonal imbalances, the testicles cannot gain enough nutrients because of damaged liver production, while the prostate cannot produce enough sperm and the white, alkaline liquid for sperm to swim in.

There are many myths about masturbation. Even though many of these have been debunked several times, they seem to resurface time and time again. Most claims about masturbation are not backed up by science. There is often no scientific evidence to show that masturbation causes any of the adverse effects suggested. Masturbation will not cause: blindness hairy palms impotence later in life erectile dysfunction penis shrinkage penis curvature low sperm count infertility mental illness physical weakness some couples worry that their relationship must be unsatisfying if either one of them masturbates; this, too, is a myth.
