Can masturbation addiction cause any problem in future life?
Patient: 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.
