Does masturbating effect my body ?
I do it daily (sometimes like 3 to 5 times daily) can that have any side effects ?
how many times am i allowed to do it ?

Using the word 'allow' implies there are rules. There is no department of masturbation therefore do it as often as you like. There are no side effects and it will not harm your body.

The effects of masturbation on your body are increased heart rate and breathing while you're doing it, and good feelings. If you do it a lot without adequate lubrication you might get a little chafing. You sound like a young person. Often young people who have just discovered masturbation do it a LOT for a while. Not surprising, since it feels good, it reinforces itself. When the novelty wears off you will probably do it less.
Mythbusting: It will not reduce your fertility. You will not get addicted to it. You will not go blind. You will not grow hair on your palms. You will not be weakened in some mystical way. It is not a substitute for sex with someone else (although it can be good preparation for sex with someone else; it teaches you about your own sexual response so you will know what's going on when you're ready for sex with another).
There is no masturbation rulebook that specifies number of wanks you're allowed. The guiding principle is your own sensuality, interest, and imagination. If it's not interfering with the rest of your life, you're not doing it to much. If it is interfering with your life, the cause is something else. Compulsive masturbation is usually a way of coping with some stress in your life. But again, you're probably not compulsive. Many young people do it a lot, including several times daily, especially if they have just started.

Oh course it's not bad. There's nothing wrong with pleasuring yourself, just like there's nothing wrong with pleasuring yourself doing other things that don't involve your body sexually. I don't know if you can do it too much. The only thing that I would worry about myself is that if I do it too much I may not be as pleased in bed with another person because I've already pleased myself. Try googling something like excessive masturbating, or effects of masturbation and see if you can find more information that way. A sex therapist would also know if you contact one.

It's your body, do it as often as you want or need to. There's no physical harm.
But 5 times a day, every day, is a little excessive. That would mean that you're not getting as much exercise and fresh air as you need. You need to get out more often. Also, it means you're not around others as much as you need to be for your mental health and emotional growth. It can also be a sign of depression to masturbate that often on a regular basis, which should be treated by a doctor. And getting too dependent on the intensity of pleasing yourself may eventually make it harder for you to enjoy sex with someone else.
All in all, it's better if you masturbate with someone else, at least sometimes. It is a form of simulated sex and sex was meant to be shared. Also, you tend to get more out of it with a partner and may not need to do it as often.

If you are really young (i.e. 14, 16 years old) and feel the urge, go for it.
If you are doing it to a point where you feel tired, you need to back down to a comfort level, maybe once a day.
There is no rules. As long as it doesn't get in the way of your other daily activities.
Moderation is the key.

Sassylassy can't type cause her hands still tingle from the 4 hour marathon with the purple penetrator.
Anyways, the only thing unhealthy is the worrying you're doing. Just be tactful about when/how you do it and everything should be alright. But you may want to work up to a real woman eventually. Maybe pace yourself also, women hate when you lose it too soon! So I hear!

It's not bad. It's a perfectly healthy and natural thing to do.
The only side effects of doing it to often would be to rub yourself raw. In otherwords, if you start to get sore down there, you're doing it too much!

There are life altering side effects, each time you "do it" you create friction and removing the top layer of skin thereby "sanding it down". In a few more months it will end up looking as thick as a pencil, but no worries your eyesight will be so bad you won't notice.

HELL NO !!! It's nature's way of relieving sexual tension. If 5 star General's and Politicians did it we might have less wars.
There is a possibility that if you do it virtually non-stop you could end up exhausted, but 'happy'.
Try and strike an even balance.Too much of anything gets boring in the end.
