It does not have any adverse effects. It does not cause any impotency in your future. You can do it as many times as you like.  There is no bad effects like premature graying of hair, thinning of legs, or thinning of face. Urge to masturbate is controlled by hormones, which is a common activity occur in all the people of your age. Try to reduce your stress by some other methods like yoga or daily exercises or playing sports. </s>
