Patient's question:
Patient Age: MaleDetailed Medical Condition and Purpose of Consultation: Hello
I am a 22-year-old female, and I have had a habit of self-masturbation (crossing my legs) for several years. On average, I do it twice a week. After each session of self-masturbation, if I urinate, it is always in very small amounts. I would like to ask if self-masturbation affects future fertility?
First follow-up question: Does it affect future fertility?
Also, I do not self-masturbate with my hands; I just self-masturbate by crossing my legs?
Doctor's answer:
Hello: It is essential to actively abstain. The side effects of sexual masturbation are threefold:First, long-term masturbation has developed into a dependent habit, where one cannot experience pleasure without this familiar routine;
Second, prolonged reliance on the sense of touch between the genitalia and fingers has created a sense of unfamiliarity or rejection toward the genitalia of the opposite sex, even leading to clinical resistance;
Third, long-term masturbation has fostered severe psychological biases. Those addicted to masturbation fail to recognize that sexual intimacy is a mutual emotional experience involving both partners—collaboratively engaging, investing, and creating. Instead, they remain confined to their own one-sided satisfaction, resulting in a spiritual and physical disconnect from their partner, hindering mutual affection.
