Patient's question:
Lying on the bed watching porn, the penis moves back and forth against the bedsheet and quickly reaches orgasm. Is this considered masturbation, and what are the harms?Doctor's answer:
Hello, medically speaking, any ejaculation that is not achieved through sexual intercourse falls under the category of masturbation. Therefore, your situation also falls under masturbation. Moderate masturbation is harmless and is neither prohibited nor recommended. However, excessive masturbation can be considered a psychological disorder, which can severely affect health, easily lead to various inflammatory infections, and may result in impotence, premature ejaculation, and even infertility. If you have any further questions, feel free to consult me. Wishing you good health.
