Is it dangerous to masturbate?
Masturbating is natural, intimate, and normal, regardless of your gender identity or sexual orientation. It's a way to learn about your body, what you enjoy and don't enjoy, and what excites you. You might feel pleasure while doing it, and that's often the goal. But it's personal: how you do it, when, and with what (your hand, a pillow, a stuffed animal, the showerhead...) is entirely up to you.
No, it doesn't make you infertile.
Masturbation has no impact on fertility. Scientific studies have shown that it poses no danger to health. It's a healthy and normal practice, even if it remains a personal choice.
No, it doesn't deplete your sperm.
The human body is well designed! It continuously produces sperm, and the "tank" is never empty. Whether solo or with a partner, there will always be sperm available.
No, it doesn't affect your period.
Getting your first period is a natural process linked to puberty and has no connection to masturbation. It's common to start exploring your body and masturbating at this age, as sexual desire evolves, but it has no impact on your cycle.
Yes, your genitals stay the same even if you masturbate.
The size and shape of your genitals don't change with masturbation. Puberty causes natural bodily changes, regardless of any masturbatory practice.
