Nope. There are no known medical/physical harms from masturbation. The only concerns with it lie in some religious groups.

Is Masturbation Normal?
While it once was regarded as a perversion and a sign of a mental problem, masturbation now is regarded as a normal, healthy sexual activity that is pleasant, fulfilling, acceptable and safe. It is a good way to experience sexual pleasure and can be done throughout life.
Masturbation is only considered a problem when it inhibits sexual activity with a partner, is done in public, or causes significant distress to the person. It may cause distress if it is done compulsively and/or interferes with daily life and activities.
Is Masturbation Harmful?
In general, the medical community considers masturbation to be a natural and harmless expression of sexuality for both men and women. It does not cause any physical injury or harm to the body, and can be performed in moderation throughout a person's lifetime as a part of normal sexual behavior. Some cultures and religions oppose the use of masturbation or even label it as sinful. This can lead to guilt or shame about the behavior.
Some experts suggest that masturbation can actually improve sexual health and relationships. By exploring your own body through masturbation, you can determine what is erotically pleasing to you and can share this with your partner. Some partners use mutual masturbation to discover techniques for a more satisfying sexual relationship and to add to their mutual intimacy.

Impotency does not happen but as we know that excess of everything is bad. Excessively masturbating can lead to physical weakness in men. This is because the semen we ejaculate do consists of fluids from every part of our body. It has the full power of a man. Excessive masturbation can also lead to bending of penis slightly, though it does not affect penetrating the vagina.
Masturbation and Sex are two different things. You can practise sex daily but masturbation should be avoided on a daily basis. Alternate day masturbating is OK. This is because during masturbation our full attention is towards our penis while during sex, our mind is not centered on our penis but it is applied on variety of things like the body parts of women, her love, her warmth, which in all gives us immense pleasure and satisfaction. Both feels on the top of the world during orgasm while in masturbation orgasm involves more anxiety and very low level of happiness....

If I said yes would you stop doing it?
The answer I am afraid is yes. Besides its effect on general health it also results in one not being able to get satisfaction from proper sex and becomes dependent on this bad habit.

No. its not bad for your health.
But it could cause irritation of the skin on the penis when done excessivly. so just use lotion or lube!
And if you are still in your teens or 20's, mastrubate away!! its what men do.

Not in the least, unless you just do it so much that you begin to chafe your skin. Use a good lube and enjoy yourself.
