Its also cringe to ignore the fact that it can be a problem. I'm not saying that's what you're doing, but I see it a lot and neither extreme is good.

Risks
Compulsive masturbation and other compulsive behaviors can be signs of an emotional problem, which may need to be addressed by a mental health specialist. As with any "nervous habit", it is more helpful to consider the causes of compulsive behavior, rather than try to repress masturbation.

To be fair, unless the act itself is interfering in your daily life, the real problem is probably porn addiction.

As long as it's not hindering your life or harming you or others you're good. Applies to most things ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
