What are the benefits of masturbating say every day , and the cons,
versus
masturbating twice a week
versus
masturbating once a week
or
once a month

I feel a noticeable difference when I do it like 5 times a week versus 2 times a week, in my willpower and general energy towards life. Why is that? Is there a chemical imbalance that requires a certain amount of time to recover?

Not an expert on the matter, but I believe that while you are doing it your dopamine levels rise to 200 to 300 percent of the standard. This can lead to an addiction of dopamine. Excessively masturbating would deplete you of fluids and could cause infections (and a lot more, not going too in depth but basically you won't feel as much enjoyment as you would normally).

It depends on how often you do it, but if you did it excessively (which is a lot, so you probably won't have to worry) it will probably take a month or two to recover. I don't think it causes any permanent damage, or at least usually.

TL;DR: Just don't do it excessively and you'll be fine.

I think the pros and cons of masturbation vary from person to person. Masturbating every day may lead to a temporary decrease in energy due to hormonal changes, while on the other end it can provide a sense of discipline and focus for some people. In my opinion it really depends on the person, but from my experience, doing it every now and again feels like it keeps everything stable. You lose some energy but gain focus and in the long run you feel "stable" (better feeling).
