What Are the Harms of Masturbation?

Frequent masturbation may lead to prostatitis, decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, weak erections, and diminished sexual desire—potentially disrupting normal marital sexual life and, in severe cases, causing infertility. It may also result in low mood, impaired memory, poor concentration, reduced comprehension, insomnia with frequent dreams, and persistent fatigue. Psychologically, it can cause social withdrawal, increased irritability and anger, and heightened psychological stress.
