In Ghana, masturbation is a very sensitive topic as it is woven into cultural, spiritual, or religious beliefs. Meanwhile, according to a publication by Healthline, an estimated 27 to 40 percent of women and 41 to 65 percent of men reported masturbating within the past few months.
However, Chief Executive Officer of Nature’s Green Medical Centres, Dr. Richard Eghan, has stated that masturbation does not present any dire consequences apart from a reduction in sperm volume.
"Masturbation is just an activity where somebody is enjoying themselves sitting down and doing the same thing they would have done with a woman," Mr. Eghan explained on GTV's Breakfast Show. When Kafui Dey asked if male masturbating influences sperm quality, he offered this statement.
"Because you do it frequently and you release and discharge sperm frequently, the only thing masturbation can do is reduce your sperm volume," he stated.
