Hello sir,
My age is 25, unmarried. I am having habit of masturbating for the past 6 years, may be 3-4 times a day. but now in a 6 months am going to get married. my friends told me the quantity and quality of my sperm would have gone down, that i may not impregnate my wife. so i have reduced my habit to once in a week. my question is whether i can impregnate my wife and have child..
what should i do, should i stop the marriage,or is there any other way to increase my sperm mortality. plz advice me. I am healthy person, height 182cm and about 90kg weight. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I do understand your concerns regarding masturbation. However, your concern regarding it is mostly misplaced. It is a normal physiological process. Once a person becomes sexually mature, semen production starts which is a continuous process. A person then either has sex, or masturbates and has night falls.
Masturbation doesn't lead to any physical or mental health problems. It also doesn't make anyone weak. You can masturbate as much a you want and it doesn't lead to any problem in sperms, either in quality or quantity. It also doesn't reduce your capacity to have sex and impregnate. So, you need to stop worrying and go ahead with your marriage. The only problem you have currently is anxiety and you need to overcome that and all will be great.
Hope this information was helpful. Best wishes.
