What Are The Side Effects Of Excessive Masturbation?
I'm 21 years old and I've been practicing masturbation since I was 15. Earlier when I first started it, I was quite regular, but now I'm relatively very considerate. I read a lot about the so called "disadvantages" of masturbation but non of the sources were reliable, so I would like to know what are its disadvantages to me and how would it affect especially that I'm a sports person. I have an exercise schedule that I stick to and I've been taking it seriously for almost a year now; it consists of push-ups, dumbbell works, ab-strengthening exercises and swimming. I do 95 push-ups every alternate day and I stick to breast and back strokes when swimming. I started push-ups when I was 16 but I was never as serious and consistent as I am now.
There is no side effect of masturbation. Masturbation is natural and healthy and can be done as much as you want. There are no ill effects on the body. Don't worry.
