As long as one masturbates in the privacy of on's space and it doesn't affect one's routine life and concentration, it doesn't have any deleterious effects on one's physical or mental well being. The rights and wrongs of Sexual intercourse don't depend upon age of individual one wants to have sex with. Ask a pertinent question please.
