I'm wondering about the effects of masturbation on health. Is it generally good or bad? Also, if someone has been masturbating frequently over a long period, could that be harmful to their health? Just trying to understand if I should be concerned.

It is recommended to maintain a balance in all aspects of life, including sexual activities. If you are experiencing any concerns related to masturbation or your sexual health, it is best to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice and guidance.

I'm experiencing something strange and I'm a bit confused about it. Lately, I've noticed that every time I sit down to eat a meal, like lunch or dinner, I end up with a pretty intense erection. I can't figure out why this is happening. Could this be normal or is there something I should be concerned about?

I'm having some trouble managing my sexual urges, and it's impacting my focus on my career. I find myself masturbating at least twice a week, and I'm currently single with no plans to get married. I really enjoy sex but prefer being alone. Lately, I've noticed my erections are not as strong or lasting as they used to be. Are there any operations or medications that can help control these feelings? I'd appreciate any advice.
