Question
Does masturbating every day decrease fertility or cause any other health problems?
Answer
Masturbation is generally not physically harmful. Frequent masturbation does not reduce your sperm count nor does it affect your ability to achieve an erection. Younger men may be able to get an erection and ejaculate every day. But as men get older, their ability to achieve daily erections may decline. This is a factor of age and has nothing to do with the frequency of masturbation. Also, there is no evidence that masturbation frequency affects a man's ability to produce sperm.
