Sir, I have known that sperms are produced every 72 hours and semen are produced everyday. The semen contains over 200 types of proteins, vitamins and other nutrients. If semen is not ejaculated, the semen's nutrients are recycled and are used to produce new semen. I masturbate thrice a week. So, masturbation ejaculates the nutrients and the body needs to collect the proteins and vitamins to produce the new semen. So, is masturbation harmful for my health? And can it cause infertility to me? I started masturbation at the age of 14 years. I did not grow too much tall. Is masturbation healthy for me?

Dear user. You are totally wrong. Semen will never be recycled inside your body. Once produced, semen or sperm has to be ejaculated out. Masturbation is normal, natural and never unhealthy. Even animals do masturbate. As a human being, you are also an animal. Every animal has sexual instinct because they are designed to reproduce. Human being also has sexual instinct and therefore he needs to satisfy sexual instinct. Therefore, to satisfy sexual instinct, a man or woman, masturbates. In any case, masturbation is never unhealthy or will never affect your physical or sexual health or it cannot affect your future sex life and the ability to have children. Masturbation cannot affect your growth or cause pimples or cause hair fall or cause shrinkage of penis or loss of vital nutrients or cause problems in testis size or colour etc. Masturbation cannot increase your belly fat or cause obesity. You should try to reduce the masturbation frequency to thrice a week and continue masturbation. You can be sure; there are no side effects to masturbation if you are able to restrict it to thrice a week. Jogging and physical exercise are always good to keep you fit and stop worrying about sex and allied thinking. I suggest online sex counseling and therapy. Take care.
