If you have asked this question, it has already affected your confidence adversely. Had it not been the case, you would not have asked this Question. Had you asked about adverse effect on your body, the Answer would have been "NO" but as far as its Psychological effects are concerned, it does affect adversely. That is the reason for Innumerable Quacks minting money from gullible Youths through out the Country. You find Advertisements inviting them from back doors to protect their privacy. It is the Shaken Confidence of these ill informed people about Masturbation, that lands them into the traps of such so called "Gupt Rog Specialists". So stop worrying, reinforce yourself mentally and lead a normal life without Tension.

The way you are asking this question diffidently and nervously shows that you are a young man. Thank god you were not born sixty years ago when the likes of Swami Shivanand with his ominous publication(which was in Marathi and you also seem to hail from Maharashtra) ominously titled 'Celibary is Life Squandering of semen is Death'rules the roost. The ill consequences of masturbating even once listed therein were foreboding and have spoiled the lives of many a promising young man then. Rest assured Masturbation is not a carnal sinand an occasional indulgence will not make you impotent.However do not overdo it for there is nothing like regular sex for sexual satrisfaction.

Very much so

Not on confidence, but definately on Health.

No not at all

No

Daily masturbation gives you more confidence. if your penis can get erect daily then it means everything is working fine.

Certainly in long term
