I'm sorry that you are suffering from depression and any other disorder that the doctors seem to have difficulty treating, but I can assure you there is nothing about masturbation that will cause weakness or delay sexual growth. Masturbation is actually very healthy for you, and it always saddens me when I hear that people are writing that it makes them feel guilty. You have every right to feel sexual pleasure, especially in ways that are healthy for you, so masturbation doesn't have to be a bad thing. It is healthy because there is absolutely NO harm that it causes. It creates increased heart rate, breathing and blood flow around the body. It helps your body release chemicals that cause muscles and joints to relax some, and it teaches you how to enjoy your body's feeling. I noticed in your profile that you said you had trouble with many types of sexual problems such as delayed and premature ejaculation and several others. Each of those is much more likely to be affected by medications and depression than anything having to do with masturbation. Therefore, you may find that masturbating may make you feel better, and if you relax and learn to enjoy it, you may find the sexual issues are not as great. Your yellow cum and growth of sexual organs is NOT related to masturbation at all. In fact it is not unusual from some people to have smaller sexual organs than others and cum can be any where from clear to deep yellow in color. Hope this helps and I hope you continue to enjoy masturbating.
