Masturbation is normal and healthy
Masturbation is a common and normal behavior for both males and females. It does not cause negative health issues or impact relationships when done in moderation.UTIs
While masturbation is generally safe, any activity involving the genitals can potentially introduce bacteria which could lead to a urinary tract infection (UTI). Proper hygiene can help prevent transmission of bacteria. UTIs are easily treatable with antibiotics if one develops.Other myths
