No!! However there are some minor risks to masterbation:
Risks
A study by Stuart Brody, a professor and medical psychology consultant, showed that a test group which only had intercourse had, as a whole, lower blood pressure in stressful situations than those who had intercourse but also had masturbated for one or more days (Brody, 2006).
Masturbation involving both a man and a woman can result in pregnancy only if semen contacts the vulva. Any masturbation with a partner can theoretically result in transmission of sexually transmitted disease by contact with bodily fluids, and such contact should be avoided with any partner whose disease status is uncertain. Objects inserted into the vagina or anus should be clean and of a kind that will not scratch or break. Care should be taken not to fully insert anything into the anus — any object used should have a flared or flanged base; otherwise retrieval can require a visit to the emergency room. Most modern dildos and anal plugs are designed with this feature.
A man whose penis has suffered "an invasive procedure, blunt trauma or injury during intercourse"[5] may suffer later in life from Peyronie's disease. There is the rare event of penile fracture[6] which may occur. Phimosis is "a contracted foreskin (that) may cause trouble by hurting when an attempt is made to pull the foreskin back"[7]. In these cases, overly aggressive manipulation of the penis can be problematic.
Lawrence I. Sank (1998) speculated that the habit of masturbating prone (i.e. lying face downward) was responsible for serious sexual problems, including anorgasmia and erectile dysfunction, as suffered by four men he examined. He coined the term traumatic masturbatory syndrome to describe the effect. As of 2006 there has been no follow-up research and the idea that prone masturbation causes male sexual dysfunction is not familiar or widely-held within the medical community, and thus should not be credited as such until further research.
Some sources, however, continue to give credence to the idea. One sex therapist (Margolies, 1994) has condemned masturbation by rubbing against a pillow or mattress and Lipsith et al (2003) suggest that masturbation could play a part in male psychogenic sexual dysfunction (MPSD), citing Sank as their authority.
Compulsive masturbation
Masturbating frequently presents no physical, mental or emotional risk in itself[8], but if such a frequency, e.g. several times a day, seems to have a "compulsive" quality to it, it may be that masturbation is being used either to relieve either boredom or stress. In either case, as with any "nervous habit" at any age, it is more useful to consider the causes of the boredom or of the stress, rather than try to repress the masturbation itself.[9]
As with other addictions, there are lists of warning signs as to when sexual activity is reducing a person's ability to function well in the real world, or is placing them at risk for example of pursuing illegal or destructive activities. Very frequent and compulsive masturbation can be one of the signs of a sexual addiction, for which professional help may be advisable.[10]

Only if you are damaging your penis skin. Things like chafing, dryness or cracked skin are quite common, so make sure you are protecting yourself by using penis health creme every day. These are made for guys who masturbate a lot and keep the skin free of any painful, embarrassing or inconvenient irritations. You should look into it.

How many times every day?
There is no harm in doing it as long as it doesn't negatively impact your social life.

No, it's actually extremely healthy as the orgasm provides the biggest release of the chemicals called endorphine and seratonin into the bloodstream, which are "feel good" chemicals.

never thought of that as an issue. but the question is do you have to do it everyday? i have a childhood friend who did just that but he grew up to be okay. but now i ponder as what was the reason for your intention? are you too under puberty/premature to have sex with your opposites or you just love your idea? life is matter of choice. so go ahead and make your smart decision
