Hello thanks for asking from HCM

Masturbation is a safe and healthy habit. Masturbation doesn't cause any memory impairment. Masturbation doesn't have any effects on physical, mental or reproductive health. Yes, excessive masturbation might cause loss of important time that should be spent in reading and this can lead to poor performance, poor focus etc symptoms. You can masturbate once to twice a week and this will not affect health in any domain.

No need to worry.

THANKS.
