Masturbation Frequency

Q: I like to masturbate, often. But I wonder how much is too much? How many times can I safely masturbate each day?

A: Is it interfering with your life? If you're masturbating so much that you're not getting your work done, or your partner is getting mad at you because you haven't done your household chores for the last week? Does your body hurt? Are you rubbed raw, chafed, or bleeding?

Too much doesn't relate to masturbation frequency per se, but it is about why you are masturbating. If you are masturbating as a way to pleasure yourself, release stress, celebrate, or any number of healthy reasons, go for it! However, if your masturbation habits are interfering with your life, or if you are chafed and bleeding as a result of masturbation, you are masturbating either too frequently or too aggressively. If this is a case, take a break from masturbation and look into purchasing an appropriate masturbation lubricant to ease any soreness.
