Hello.

First let's correct some misinformation. No medical expert recognizes “over-masturbation” because there is no scientific evidence that there is any such thing, just as there’s no such thing as “under-masturbation.” Everyone is different. Some people self-pleasure daily, some monthly, some hourly, some yearly. You get the picture. Whatever works best for you is what works best for you.

About that "discharge": When men become sexually aroused, a gland called the Cowper’s Gland, secretes a milky fluid, also known as "pre-***." Some men produce large amounts of this fluid, while others produce very little. Everyone is different. This fluid clears the urethra of uric acid prior to orgasm. Without this fluid, many of the sperm carried in semen would be killed or damaged by the acid contained in urine. So when you get turned on, that’s what happens: Cowper’s Gland fluid comes out the end of your penis. If you’re producing lots of fluid, you might want to be sure to carry some tissues for wiping up. So relax. There's nothing wrong with you. I think you would benefit from some further information about male sexuality. I highly recommend the book "The New Male Sexuality" by Bernie Zilbergeld, Ph.D., widely available online, both used and in paperback. Best of luck to you. Dr. J
