Hi,
This is the biggest myth surrounding masturbation. If indulged in moderation, masturbation, on the contrary, is a healthy practice that releases sexual energy. According to certain religious practices and beliefs, masturbation is harmful since it results in the loss of a man's "seeds" and makes him weak. Masturbation in women has largely been ignored in the religious texts. Other myths surrounding the act are that it reduces virility by making the semen less thick thereby reducing the chances of a man to bear children. This is totally untrue. Masturbation does not cause any loss of strength or virility in a person.
The other myths surrounding masturbation are:
Only males masturbate – this is not true. Females masturbate as much as males do. However, they tend to report it less than males due to the social stigma attached to it. Also it has been observed that females tend to reduce or discontinue masturbation once they get into meaningful sexual relationships.
Masturbation is unhealthy – masturbation per se does not cause any health hazards. It is not an unhealthy habit. However, it may be mentally unhealthy if it assumes obsessive proportions and the individual is unable to think of anything else. It may also have physical repercussions if the instrument used to masturbate is dirty or infected.
Only adolescents masturbate – though the practice usually begins during adolescence, almost all adults practise it at some time or the other.
Masturbation does not provide as much satisfaction as sexual intercourse – sometimes masturbation is more satisfying than the sex act. This is because, during masturbation, an individual is in control of his own movements and can maximize the pleasure according to his or her needs. During sexual intercourse, the degree of satisfaction may, to some extent, lie with the partner.
People masturbate only if they have unfulfilling sexual relationships – people also masturbate for self satisfaction, even when they have fully satisfying sexual relationships.
Enjoy Life

Self love is something which is not read well with a lot of us. In today's world it is looked upon as a thing for kids. Your queries are very genuine and it requires no rocket science to clear the doubts.
Does it affect us?
Yes, partially. It does give us a momentary release of thoughts and its natural.
Does it have ill affects on us?
Not at all. Infact its considered to be normal. Too much ofcourse reduces the control on erectile muscles. But that goes with intercourse too. Too much could be around 8-10 times on daily basis. 1-2 daily is normal!
Fertility?
Not at all. Infact this way one is free of all HIVs, STDs and AIDS! It safe!
Should you stop?
Its not healthy mentally! Get a partner and do it the normal way! An addiction might just make 'intercourse' less attractive!
Have fun!

well, too much is not good.
Well you could observe how it affects your body... You are the first one to know if there is any effect on your health.
In my own opinion, it has no effect on fertility of a person.....
But doing it often may not be advisable.

The more you do it it tends to affect your ability to spell, and from your question I have deduced that you are already possibly indulging a little too often.
