I heard that excess masturbation causes infertility in men.Is it true?

It's been heard and read by me that masturbating daily causes infertility. I masturbate almost 5 times a week. How far this is true and harmful?

    Well since nearly every guy when a teen does it daily, and nearly all of them grow up to have kids, that disproves your "I heard" theory. What medical expert told you this? None, of course. Don't believe half of what you hear, and if it sounds fishy, it probably is.

    You KIDS! Masturbation is a substitute for intercourse. Now, if 'excessive' masturbation (what ever that is...you can only get hard so many times in a day) causes infertility, what would INTERCOURSE cause?

    Think about it and quit doing those drugs!

    No harm. Excess masturbation causes pleasure in men.

    Fatal Consequences of Excessive Masturbation

    Frequent masturbation and ejaculation stimulate acetylcholine/parasympathetic nervous functions excessively, resulting in the over production of sex hormones and neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, dopamine and serotonin. Abundant and unusually amount of these hormones and neurotransmitters can cause the brain and adrenal glands to perform excessive dopamine-norepinephrine-epinephrine conversion and turn the brain and body functions to be extremely sympathetic. In other words, there is a big change of body chemistry when one excessively pratices masturbation.

    Note: Masturbation is a healthy sexual behavior. Like other behaviors, when over practiced or addicted it can lead to both psychological and physiological imbalances.

    The side effects of such changes to the body include:

    Fatigue. Feeling tired all the time

    Lower back pain

    Stress / Anxiety

    Thinning hair / Hair Loss

    Soft / Weak Erection

    Premature Ejaculation

    Eye floaters or fuzzy vision

    Groin / Testicular Pain

    Pain or cramp in the pelvic cavity or/and tail bone

    Nope, if anything it will help to clean out all of your old semen and make room for new healthy semen. If you do it too much (>4 times a day) then you can deplete your stock (so to speak) but if you hold off for a day or two before trying to conceive, you'll be full again. Us guys are basically sperm factories
