No limit on masturbation.

Masturbation does affect your hormone levels (source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/135817)), but no negative or positive correlations have been found yet (with the exceptions of orgasms improving sperm quality).

For porn consumptions, negative correlations have been found with depression, addictions, loneliness, unemployement, domestic violence, etc .

Causal effects haven't been proven. In my personal opinion, the unemployment correlation probably is unemployment leading to more porn consumption since you have so much extra time, but I think it's the porn consumption that causes increase in partner abuse. For erectile dysfunction there's strong indications that it's caused by increased porn consumption ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5039517/ ).

The "three times a week" I got from a study that showed that men's sexual preferences changed when watching porn more than three times a week but were not affected by three times a week or less. Can't find that study right now.

I actually use the rule of three times a week for lots of stuff in my life. If I can't cut back something leisurely, whatever it is, to three times a week, the substance is controlling me instead of me being in control. At the moment I fail to reduce my sugar consumption and my 4chan visits to less than daily.
