<human>: Well..I am   30 year old man ,who is currently single and have never got married.I used to ejaculate so often though! That started around 8 years ago.At the beginning ,I did that like once a week ,but within the past 3 years ,I used to do it nearly everyday.I tried to give up ,but every time I decided that ,I only gave up for a week or maximum 9 days then back to the same dirty habits.My question is: I heard that people who ejaculate so often will become barren and can not give birth to a baby. If I totally give up although I have done that for nearly 8 years ,is it still possible to give birth to a baby if I marry soon like within 6 months or after a year? I have never checked my semen  ,so I do not know whether ejaculation has driven me to be barren or not ,but I recently heard that it is terrible and decided to give it up.And would be there any negative effects if I give it up forever? Somebody said one time of ejaculation equals to making love with a lady for 12 times ,is that true?I am worried about myself.Please reply me asap.You should take into account that I have no girl friend and I do not have sex with ladies,because my tradition prohibits me  to do that with a lady who is not my wife.
<bot>: Hello dear,First, remove all myth and misconception from your mind regarding masturbation. There is no any harmful effects of masturbation as such. However, if it is done regularly then it will result in thinning of semen with low sperm count.
