Is it harmful to the body to touch the external genitalia to reach orgasm?

Patient's question:

28 years old, female, married, why do I often dream about having sex with different men in my dreams and even reach orgasm? First follow-up question: Is this harmful to my body? Second follow-up question: If I have three to four handjobs a month, just touching the clitoris to reach orgasm, is this harmful to my body?

Doctor's answer:

The situation you mentioned falls under masturbation, which can be harmful to the body. If a woman develops a long-term habit of masturbation, it can have certain negative effects on her well-being and future sexual life. This is primarily because prolonged masturbation can lead to dependency, where she cannot experience pleasure without this familiar habit, resulting in a rejection or resistance to normal sexual activity. If nothing is inserted into the vagina, other harms are minimal, and it does not cause vaginal relaxation.
Recommendation: Maintain mental health, shift your focus to striving and progress, and enhance your physical fitness.
