Is Masturbation Harmful?

I received a question from a reader earlier today. He asked:

“Hi Sunny, I was wondering if masturbation is harmful? I do it every single day, sometimes twice. A lot of times I feel tired afterward too, is this bad? Am I masturbating too much? “

No matter your gender, regular masturbation is not only normal, it’s actually good for you! Some of the many things it can do:

• Relieve stress
• Make partnered sex better
• Help you last longer in bed
• Fight erectile dysfunction
• Help you fall asleep
• Strengthen your pelvic floor muscles aiding in better orgasms and incontinence relief
• Boost your immune system
• Improve your mood
• Boost your libido
• Reduce menstrual cramps and shorten your period
• Reduce your risk of prostate cancer

So no, masturbating won’t cause you to grow hairy palms, go blind, or make a cat watch you from the ceiling. It’s perfectly natural, normal, and it feels great. Check out the video below for more on the science behind masturbation.
