Will masturbating a lot make a guy's sperm less potent?
No. The male body makes new sperm all the time, so masturbating often does not mean he’ll be all out of sperm and unable to start a pregnancy. That means that masturbation is definitely NOT a form of birth control.
But, if a guy ejaculates more than once a day, the amount of semen might be less, so there’s fewer sperm swimming around. It can take a few days of not ejaculating to get a full supply of sperm. (But remember, it only takes one sperm and one egg hooking up to start a pregnancy).

No reason to worry...this is perfectly normal. It sounds
like you are at the age that your body is starting to go
through puberty and being able to ejaculate is certainly one
of the changes that you will experience. I know it may seem
weird or uncomfortable, but it would probably be helpful to
talk to a trusted adult about some of the other changes that
your body will experience this way you will know what other
things to expect.
