OFTEN masturbation

Does masturbating a lot have any bad impact in your sex or normal life?

Masturbation is actually completely normal, for men and women. Everyone does it (even the ones that say they don't), because you know exactly what you want and only you know what feels good or does not feel good. Basically, there is nothing wrong with the gesture of masturbation.

However, while masturbation should not have any bad impact on your sex or normal life, it depends on the extremity of it. You can have an addiction to porn or masturbation just like a person can be addicted to drugs. You need to examine your life as a whole: is masturbation making you stressed, is it causing physical pain, is it getting in the way of your everyday life, are unable to stop if you wanted to?

There is such a thing of over-masturbation but it's very uncommon. If you have a girlfriend and you would always rather masturbate than have sex with her, that will probably cause an issue in your relationship. Likewise, if you're not interacting with friends or going to work because you need to masturbate, that signifies that there's a problem. If you honestly think you're over masturbating then talk to a doctor, you're probably fine but it will give you piece of mind.
