Thank you for your question.
Current knowledge and evidence suggest that masturbation is good for your sexual health. When practised correctly without any associated negative feelings it can help with learning to control ejaculation and prolong erection time. It is safe and has no associated risk of sexually transmitted infections. Men who masturbate regularly have higher self esteem, self confidence and self assurance. Many masturbatory exercises are part of the therapeutic process as they allow you to focus on sensation without worrying about satisfying a partner. It is important to relax and learn the correct technique along with pelvic floor exercises.
There are no long term side effects of masturbation.
if your practice is causing you distress or pain please consult a genitourinary medicine specialist (skin and DVD) who can help reassure you.
