Frequent masturbation may pose certain health risks. Excessive masturbation can lead to genital fatigue and injury, increasing the risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases. It may also have negative effects on mental health, such as triggering anxiety, depression, and other psychological issues. Frequent masturbation might interfere with normal sexual life, leading to decreased libido or sexual dysfunction. Additionally, long-term masturbation may be associated with problems such as difficulty concentrating and memory decline. Therefore, it is recommended to maintain a moderate frequency of sexual activity, focus on physical and mental well-being, and cultivate a healthy lifestyle and hobbies. If you have any concerns or questions, it is best to consult a doctor. At the same time, it is important to protect your privacy and health, and avoid unsafe sexual practices.
