Thank you for your question.
In western society, masturbation is considered a normal, healthy part of sexual growth and development, although some sectors of this 'more liberated' society are more inhibited than others. In eastern cultures, attitudes are affected by religion, culture and upbringing as well as environment. Irrespective of nature and nurture, humans have powerful sexual drives to touch others, to be touched, to have sex, to procreate and the basic emotion is self driven pleasure seeking. Some cultures feel that one should not participate in sex for pleasure - but only for procreation and only within strict guidelines and doctrines. Masturbation - or self pleasuring - would be seen in this light. You will have to determine your own best course of action. I can reassure you that masturbation is not physically harmful (provided you use only your hands and fingers, not any weights, restrictive ropes or inserting any equipment) on a regular or daily basis. It won't affect the size of your penis nor the frequency of erection. For a man who has premature ejaculation (he ejaculates too quickly before his partner) masturbating earlier in the day or a few hours before can prove beneficial in longer staying power later on.
You and your wife will have certain views about masturbation, both hers and yours and whether or not either of you wish to continue or not within your marriage. It will be a choice best discussed with your new wife.
Good Luck, and thank you for coming to The Sexual Health Network,
