Masturbation is the act of self-stimulating the genitals to bring pleasure and is a normal physiological need. Proper masturbation helps relieve stress and bring positive emotions. However, the ejaculation process depends on the functioning of the reproductive system. The kidneys belong to the urinary system, have the role of excreting urine, and are not related to the ejaculation process of men. Therefore, masturbation does not harm the kidneys.
It is recommended that men masturbate once or twice a week, but this number is not fixed.
Masturbation abuse can cause long-term consequences to physical, mental and reproductive health. The level of impact varies from person to person, such as sexual dysfunction, testicular pain, memory loss, lack of concentration and decreased sperm quality and quantity.
Masturbation addiction can reduce the sensitivity to stimulation in the penis, making it difficult to have actual sex. Many people masturbate secretly, which can lead to psychological stress or fear of being discovered.
