Hello,
Thank you for your question. There is no need to worry.
Masturbation is a normal and healthy part of adolescence. Masturbating once every two days is considered well within the normal range and does not cause infertility or reduce your ability to have children in the future.
Fertility depends on factors such as healthy sperm production, hormones, genetics, overall health, and lifestyle—not on normal masturbation.
I would advise you to avoid excessive pornography and compulsive masturbation, as these can sometimes affect sexual confidence or lead to unrealistic expectations. Instead, focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, nutritious food, adequate sleep, and stress management.
If you have normal erections, normal ejaculation, and no pain or other symptoms, there is no reason to worry about your future fertility.
If your anxiety about this continues or you have any other sexual health concerns, consult a qualified sexologist for proper guidance and reassurance.
Take care and stay healthy.

Based on what you've described, masturbating once every two days is considered a normal frequency for many healthy men and does not cause infertility. There is no scientific evidence that masturbation by itself reduces future fertility, permanently lowers sperm count, or damages the testes.
Sperm are produced continuously by the testes. Ejaculation through masturbation simply releases stored sperm, and the body continues to make new sperm. Fertility is influenced by factors such as sperm quality, hormonal health, genetics, smoking, alcohol, obesity, infections, certain medications, and medical conditionsânot by normal masturbation.
Next Steps
There is no need to stop masturbation completely if it is not interfering with your daily life. However, if it becomes compulsive, causes guilt, affects your work, studies, relationships, or is associated with excessive pornography use, then it is worth addressing those behavioral aspects. If, in the future, you are planning for a baby and have difficulty conceiving after 12 months of regular unprotected intercourse (or after 6 months if your partner is over 35), both partners should undergo a fertility evaluation.

Health Tips
Maintain a healthy lifestyle by getting 7â8 hours of sleep, exercising regularly, eating a balanced diet, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol. These habits have a much greater impact on fertility than masturbation. Remember, masturbating once every two days is not known to cause infertility, and there is no reason to worry about your future fertility based on this habit alone. Thank you

If you're otherwise healthy, masturbation won't affect your future fertility.
