Daily masturbation can be a normal and healthy part of human sexuality, but excessive or compulsive masturbation can lead to negative effects such as fatigue, decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, guilt, shame, and neglect of responsibilities; to control or stop, try setting boundaries, practicing self-control, engaging in alternative activities, and seeking professional help if needed.
