Dear Alice-
If a person masturbates once or twice a day, for approximately over a
long period of time, like two to three years, would there be any side
effects for this person? Or maybe, are there any long-term side effects?

Dear Curious Student about Masturbation,
Individuals vary tremendously in the frequencies with which they
masturbate. There are people who never masturbate, those who masturbate
two or three times in their lifetime, and those who masturbate three or
more times a day, as well as everything in between. Many people
masturbate throughout their lifetime without any side effects, other than
pleasure. If there is no significant stress in your life (work, school,
relationship, family, etc.), and the amount you are masturbating isn't
hurting you, why not just enjoy yourself?
