Hi safal,
I assume your friends are telling you that there are negative effects of masturbating to your body and mind? Unfortunately, your friends are sharing antiquated myths with you (or teasing you...I'm not sure which one!).

Masturbation is actually a healthy form of safer sex, and has many benefits:
- healthy and normal sexual outlet
- relieves stress
- therapeutic for sexual dysfunction

Hello, Anon.

According to GoAskAlice - Masturbation habits vary from one individual to the next. There are people who never masturbate, those who masturbate two or three times in their life, those who masturbate two or more times a day, and everything in between. Many people masturbate throughout their life without any side effects, other than pleasure. If it isn't causing you to stress or negatively affecting your life your life (work, school, relationship, family, etc.), there is no harm.
