If I masturbate several times a day, I will have problems to last longer during sex?

No. Masturbation won’t make it harder to get or maintain an erection, or to have an orgasm. Some men find that masturbation makes them last longer when they do have sex with a partner. Others do not. But masturbation has no health risks.

In fact, masturbation can be good for you, mentally and physically. It’s one of the best ways we can learn about our own sexuality. It can help us explore what we like and don’t like and how to last longer, which can make sex with a partner a lot more enjoyable. People who feel good about their bodies, sex, and masturbation are more likely to protect themselves from sexually transmitted infections and unintended pregnancy.
