Sexual Health - Men Forum - Does Daily Masturbation cause Problems?

I masturbate at least once everyday. I see nothing wrong with it but I have a couple of questions. I have masturbated since I was about 13 and my sperm varies in thickness, it is sometimes runny somtimes very gooy and clumpy and today it was kind of stringy like silly string but not as think. Is this normal? I have always had one testicle that has been bigger than the other and its not just a little bigger its almost double in size. Is this an underdevelopement of some sort? Will masturbation like this cause problems with my prostate ? Will masturbation like this ruin my sex drive when im older or will it "keep it in shape"? Are there benefits to holding off a day or two?

Thanks
J

There is nothing wrong with masturbation unless it becomes the only way for satisfying your sexual desires. You can go to your GP (General Practitioner) who may then refer you to an urologist to examine the testicles (and sperm) and to answer your specific questions about masturbation, prostrate health, and particular benefits/disadvantages of discontinuing regular masturbation.
