Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Dear user,
Thanks for writing to Healthcare magic.
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Let me tell you young friend that masturbation is akin to sexual intercourse. What penis does in vagina during sexual intercourse, same it does during masturbation in your folded palm. This is a natural activity and I would say a 'healthy' activity and does not either affect or deter sexual performance.
It is myth that masturbation causes impotency in future.
Erectile problem is very common; it is simply due to anxiety about masturbation and semen loss.
Just relax. I recommend psychological counseling with psychiatrist.
Wish you good health.
