I'm really into fitness and maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular gym workouts and a balanced diet. But I'm kind of worried about something that I haven't found a clear answer for. Does masturbation more than twice a week have any negative effects on my health? And if I do it on consecutive days, is that harmful in any way? Just trying to understand if it's affecting my fitness journey or overall health in any way.

Is it fine if I'm masturbating twice a week while I'm also working out pretty intensely? I'm a bit worried if this could have any impact on my muscle gains.

Yes, masturbating twice a week is perfectly normal and won't affect your muscle gains. Intense workouts and muscle growth depend on proper nutrition, rest, and consistent training. As long as you're maintaining these, occasional masturbation has no significant impact on your fitness progress.

I'm struggling with premature ejaculation and it's really frustrating because I finish way before my partner. I've tried medications like Sildenafil and Tadalafil but they don't seem to help. I'm not sure who I should see about thisshould I go to a psychiatrist, sexologist, or urologist? Any advice would be appreciated.

-It sounds frustrating, and I'm sorry you're going through this. I would suggest starting with a consultation with a urologist or a sexologist, as they specialize in sexual health issues like premature ejaculation. They can guide you on treatment options
