(1d)  QUESTION:   I masturbate a lot... about 2 or 3 times a day. Is this harmful?
ANSWER:  It can be, but not necessarily. Please see area below for more information.
(2d)  QUESTION:   What should be the frequency of masturbation in a week, and how to I know if I'm doing it too much?
ANSWER: There is no definite answer to that question. You have to decide what it should be. What are you comfortable with? Some men masturbate as little as 0 times per week and others may do it more than 20 times in a week. Just don't waste too much time masturbating! There is more to life than sexual gratification.

How much masturbation is too much?
We must first ask: "What should I be doing instead of masturbating?"
and "What can I be doing instead of masturbating?"

Masturbation is only an a serious problem if it is:

(A) getting in the way of your quality of life or your other daily activities such as work, school, hobbies, or friendships and
(B) it is so frequent that it is bothersome (as mentioned above) and you have already tried your best to cut down but can't.

Even for those that masturbate a lot, they are usually able to quit long enough to carry out everything else they need to get done in their lives. Just because you masturbate every day, or more than once a day, does not necessarily mean that you are an addict. If your masturbation time is just time that would normally be wasted for things like watching TV, sitting around doing nothing, watching cars go by, or trying to fall asleep, then you probably have nothing to worry about. On the other hand, if you are isolating yourself from everyone or failing to meet your daily responsibilities, then you may want to try to cut down.

It should be said that it is normal for everyone to seek some sort of sexual relationship in their adult years. Another sign of masturbating too much is no desire to have sexual contact with a partner. Many people out there have difficulty finding a partner, but after teenage years, it is a healthy goal.

Young men are concerned about how much they masturbate more than any other sexuality issue (besides penis size). How much is too much? -- It's a very difficult question to answer because a person could masturbate to orgasm multiple times per day but spend less than thirty minutes doing it. However, they could masturbate for three hours in a row and only have one orgasm. Clearly, three hours per day is too much, but thirty minutes per day is not always a problem. Usually, people measure their masturbation by the number of orgasms they have in a day, week, or month. We want to make the point that the overall amount of time spent masturbating should be the greater factor in deciding if you masturbate too much.

Some people ask how they can quit masturbation entirely. This is somewhat extreme and also rather unlikely for the average person. It is true that even married people masturbate, but most still have a fulfilling sexual relationship with their partner. However, there is the case of the "hopeless addict" who has tried absolutely everything to cut down and cannot get on with his/her life. This page is not aimed at such an individual. In these cases, we recommend organizations such as Sexaholics Anonymous to assist.

It is true that teenagers might masturbate more than adults for a variety of reasons:
(A) Teenagers may not yet be able to produce a satisfying orgasm due to lack of experience and lack of knowledge about sensations on his/her own body. The body may continue to demand that the need be met. Experimentation on the body can require time.
(B) There is the "novelty" of the new sensation. This could last a few years.
(C) Hormone levels are higher to produce bodily development.
(D) Visual stimulation through fashion, media, and trends are typically aimed at "turning on" younger people.
(E) Sexual curiosity
(F) Being in very close visual proximity to large numbers of other teens in school.

It is also true that young children often begin masturbation before puberty. In fact, most of us even do it as toddlers. It is a normal stage of development. A child should be taught not to touch themselves in a sexual way in public. Privacy should be encouraged. However, if the child does not respond to this instruction, it still may not be a cause for serious concern. Sometimes it takes peer embarrassment before a child realizes his/her need to keep certain things private. Nevertheless, they will learn.

The following is a suggested guide to determine if masturbation is a problem. This test takes honesty on behalf of the masturbator. A third party can not determine the results of this test for another person (such as a spouse or a child). Only the individual will be able to determine this by him/herself.

1)  You know you masturbate too much if you are neglecting friends or responsibilities to spend  more time masturbating.
2)  You know you masturbate too much if you are always thinking about masturbating again right after you just finished.
3)  You know you masturbate too much (or the wrong way) if your genital is often raw and irritated from friction.
4)  You know you masturbate too much if it is somehow affecting the quality of your life.

If any one of the above is true, you may want to consider cutting down on your masturbation.

(3d)  QUESTION:   Can you give an scenario where someone did have a problem with masturbation with specific examples?
ANSWER: Yes. Here is a personal story that was contributed to the SexEditorials.com website:

 I went through a period where I masturbated way too much. I was isolated all the time and on some days I had very little contact with anyone else. I was depressed, anxious, lonely, and unfulfilled. I was restless, irritable, and discontented at times. I just felt like dropping out of society. I drank alcoholicly and used drugs. This lasted for a few months (I think.)

 How did I get over such a thing? Several things happened. I found new friends (platonic male friends), I got involved in an recovery program for alcoholics, and started skateboarding again. I can't just write this prescription for everyone suffering from what I went through. Everyone has different interests and needs. The exercise and thrill of the skateboarding took up quite a bit of spare time and gave me a outlet to express my personal rhythm other than masturbation. However, it certainly isn't something for everyone. I am not a natural at skateboarding myself . I just look at it as something that is a challenge, something that I don't have to be the best at but can still thrive on. Nevertheless, what I am trying to say is that some type of  physical activity is important. Sitting around all day at work or school, then masturbating with all your free time is not going to be healthy for the mind and body. I had to take the actions I took to get over that problem.

I think it is more important to worry about what you are thinking about or "lusting for" when masturbating rather than how much you do it. You can build quite an unhealthy desire for people you can never have sex with (using pornography may cause this). It's also possible to develop a complex where you obsessed with becoming similar to another guy you idolize and think about during masturbation. It is the ultimate identity crisis when we are trying to give up our own identity to assume someone else's. I find the the most healthy masturbation occurs when I think of imaginary people, generic forms, or myself. I concentrate on the sensation of the masturbation itself rather than lust after what I can't have.

The average male masturbates on average of  3-4 times a week (about every other day). You can probably masturbate a lot more than this without it becoming a problem or an addiction. After all, it's possible to masturbate a couple of times in one hour! However, if you do masturbate "too much" or "all the time" there are a few things you can try to take your mind off it. Not everyone needs therapy to get over masturbating too much but some people do need to see a counselor or psychologist. Simply, greeting involved in other activities can often do the trick. However, therapists and psychologists are employed to talk about how to solve these types of personal issues if you find yourself unable to resolve the situation. Nobody should be ashamed about seeking help. One should also not rule out a spiritual solution if you are so inclined to do so.

(5d) QUESTION:   I talked to my counselor and doctor on frequency of masturbation. I wonder who it is here that is promoting that this is safe as long as it doesn't take up too much of your time? Then its not an addiction? Where did you get that one? The body needs to release only about once a week and beyond that it is good cause to begin to looking at frequency. Twice a week is about the norm for those that engage in this in a healthy manner. Any legitimate counselor or doctor would tell you 2-3 times a day is NOT healthy and DOES matter in the realm of psychology. You can use this as a mechanism for obsessive compulsive disorder. Addiction by definition "to give oneself habitually or compulsively". The FAQ you all need to ask yourself is this controlling you or you it?
ANSWER (A): We do not "promote" any specific amount of masturbation. However, if do you masturbate and you do have more than one orgasm in a day, it does not automatically qualify as Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. Some people have "quicker triggers" than others -- especially young men. We simply make the point that the frequency of masturbation should not be measured in the number of orgasms one has. Instead, it should be measured in the overall amount of time one spends masturbating. If you have heard that twice per week is the average number of times a man has an orgasm, you have stumbled upon incorrect information, and we would suggest further research. It is true that the body needs to release semen only about once per week. However, almost all men who masturbate do it more than once per week. In fact, you suggested in your question that twice per week is "the norm" and "healthy". This means that one who masturbates twice per week does it 100% more per week than the body actually "needs" to do it. Therefore, you are saying that the body does need it once per week -- yet twice per week is healthy? However, more than twice per week is somehow the magic number in which we begin to cross the line into an addiction? You can see where this line of thinking leads. Now, imagine trying explain all this to a world-wide audience, and then you might be able to understand why we have to write what we write. Could you imagine how many letters we would get if we told men that they are abnormal if they masturbate more than twice per week? Good Lord, there would be an avalanche of letters from all types of people, including medical professionals, accusing us of some sort of premeditated sexual repression. The way the Frequent Masturbation Page is written is the best way possible to explain this issue to people because they can understand and relate to it. In reality, the amount of masturbation that becomes problematic is a case by case issue. There is no steadfast rule for the number of times per week that qualifies as "abnormal". Masturbating multiple times per day would be quite a lot for most men, but some guys have different circumstances surrounding their seemingly frequent masturbation (including things like personal variations in the average amount of semen ejaculated by the individual and how much time is spent during each masturbation session). A person needs to take an honest look at their overall life when deciding if they masturbate too much. It's not something you can just put a number on and make it a rule. This is true for masturbation, alcohol, food, sex, and other potentially addictive behaviors.
ANSWER (B): "Addiction" is NOT "to give oneself habitually or compulsively". For example, I have a habit of breathing air, and when I'm really thirsty, I have a compulsion to find some liquid to quench that thirst. When defining psychological terms, you need to use a diagnostic manual rather than a dictionary because a diagnostic manual pulls together all the significant terms in a dictionary definition and applies them to a functional and categorical system. But even when using a diagnostic manual (such as DSM-IV), it is difficult to just pick out concise definitions. We have to learn clinical terms, summarize lists of symptoms, consider cultural differences in language, and interpret the intent of diagnosis descriptions.
When paraphrasing a number of clinical texts I've read, I would say that a moderate definition for "Addiction" is actually the inability to stop or cut down on an activity even though there are persistent and negative consequences that interfere with the individual's functioning in their social, occupational, emotional, or physical life. Nevertheless, this is not a place to argue issues or theories. If you would like to write an editorial on the topic of masturbation, you need to go to the Male Masturbation Reality and Experiences.

(6d)  QUESTION:   Will masturbating have an effect on my testosterone levels?
ANSWER: No, it shouldn't affect testosterone levels because there are glands in the brain that regulate the release of hormones that control such things. Masturbation can cause a greater or lesser sex drive (depending on the person) for a variety of reasons, but this is a learned thing rather than a hormonal issue. Testosterone production depends more on chromosomes and genetics than on sexual or masturbation activity.
(7d)  QUESTION:  Can I get some suggestions on any new and improved ways of masterbating?
ANSWER: Actually, what you can do is search an Internet database for male masturbation techniques. Check out Advanced Masturbation
(8d) QUESTION:   Does to much masterbation cause one to not be able to have kids in the future?
ANSWER:  No. Healthy men continue to produce massive amounts of sperm and semen throughout their life, usually well into old age.
(9d) QUESTION:   When I masturbate, there is so much semen that it gets everywhere. Is there any thing I can do to reduce the amount of semen that comes out?
ANSWER:  There is not really anything safe you can do to reduce the amount of semen that comes out. However, you could prepare yourself with a paper towel or tissues and ejaculate onto them. You could also change the place you masturbate by doing it into the toilet or in the shower.

(10d)  QUESTION:   I masturbate and drops of clear liquid come out. I always stop after that. What would happen after that (since I haven't yet started puberty)? Should I stop masturbating after the liquid?
ANSWER:  This is normal for those who are either in puberty or for those who haven't started puberty yet. If you continued, you would probably just start to get sensitive or ticklish on the penis. But it won't cause any physical damage. However, you may feel a slight discomfort, or you might not feel anything at all if you continued after the clear liquid came out. When you get older the body will ejaculate semen, which contains the microscopic sperm cells within the fluid. The clear liquid you see is pre-ejaculatory fluid (pre-cum) and/or a mixture of semen that is not fully mature.
(11d)  QUESTION:   When I am aroused for a long time or I masterbate for a while, I sometimes see drops of a clear liquid even if I do not ejaculate. What is this? Is this bad?
ANSWER:  No, it is not bad. What you are seeing is pre-ejaculatory fluid (or pre-cum). This is a clear fluid secreted from the Cowper's gland and it lubricates the inside of the urethra upon sexual arousal to allow the semen to pass out of the body easier. You probably have a Cowper's gland that is simply producing a little bit extra fluid, which is what you are seeing. It is not a problem.
(12d)  QUESTION:   When I masterbate, I never have any pre-cum. Is this bad?
ANSWER:  No, this is not bad either. In fact, you are probably actually producing pre-ejaculatory lubrication fluid (pre-cum), but yours is remaining in the urethra of the penis shaft, which is where it is needed. Some people happen to produce an excess amount of pre-cum and it does come out of the tip, but that is just the extra. Pre-cum only serves the purpose to lubricate the inner part of the penis shaft to assist in the ejaculation process.

(13d) QUESTION:   When I masturbate I have an urge to eat my come but chicken out. Is this okay to do? And does this make me abnormal?
ANSWER:  It's really no big deal. Medically speaking, it won't hurt you. But I guess some people might think it's a little odd.

It's the ultimate masturbation tool.


(14d) QUESTION:   If you masturbate a lot, does it have and effect on how long you last with your partner during sex?
ANSWER:  Usually, the more orgasms a person has, the longer it will take to reach orgasm each additional time. Theoretically, more masturbation would cause an increase in the amount of time someone can "last". However, many men get into the habit of masturbating very quickly to avoid getting caught or to get it off fast. This fast masturbation tends to make a man more premature in ejaculation during sex. Slow stop-and-go masturbation is sometimes used as a technique to train and prolong a man's sexual habits.
(15d) QUESTION:   What is a good lubricant for masturbating?
ANSWER:  I can tell you that soap or shampoo can sometimes really irritate the tip of the penis. Although soap and shampoo are not dangerous, they can be a bit uncomfortable for some people. Never use motor oil, gasoline, or kerosene. However, you can use plain cooking oil or a product called KY jelly, which you can buy in a drug store. (Sometimes they sell it next to the condoms, but at some stores, you might have to ask for it.) Some people also recommend hand lotion moisturizers that contain Aloe. Other people use Vaseline, which is a thicker consistency but requires a more difficult clean-up because it is petroleum based.

(16d) QUESTION:   When I masturbate several times in a row my semen tends to get less white and more clear; is this normal?
ANSWER: Yes, it can definitely be normal to have clear semen. It takes time for the prostate gland to produce the semen. If you are doing it a lot, the white fluid is most likely just semen that hasn't had a chance to fully mature. Often younger guys only have clear semen until they get further along in puberty. Others have white semen from the beginning. However, what you said about masturbating "several times in a row" would definitely cause some semen to be released that isn't totally mature, even if you are an fully-grown adult.
(17d) QUESTION:   When me and friends sleep over at each other's houses, all five of us jerk off together while watching porn. Is this normal?
ANSWER: Statistically speaking, I can tell you that it is true that many males have done what you described above at some point in their lives. The only way you will be able to determine if it is "normal" is to decide for yourself if it is normal to you. If it makes you feel uncomfortable, then maybe it isn't normal. If you are personally OK with it, then I suppose it is OK. It is a personal decision to engage in any activity like that. Lots of people do that kind of thing and don't think anything of it. I don't think there is anything wrong with you because you do this, but that is only my opinion.

(18d) QUESTION:   I masterbate twice a day viewing porno. Lately I have had problems staying erect with my wife. What is happening?
ANSWER: Maybe your masturbation devotions have started to interfere with the quality of your life.

(19d) QUESTION:   I think I've been having a problem with masturbation because I am getting a soreness in my upper back, near my shoulder blades. Can this pain be from my frequent my masturbation?
ANSWER: It is impossible to say what could be causing your pain. I've never heard of a problem like that from masturbation. However, maybe you could change the way you do it. If changing your masturbation position/technique doesn't work, you could try to cut down or quit for a while to see if the pain goes away. Regardless of what it causing it, you might want to see a doctor to get it looked at if it continues for more than a week or so. Normal masturbation should not cause the body to be in prolonged or serious pain. However, if your soreness is from masturbation (and not from a medical problem), then the masturbation certainly is interfering with your quality of life. Based on the small amount of information above, I think you could be developing some sort of tendinitis from any variety of tasks you are doing in a generally strenuous position. Athletes often get tendinitis from vigorous activities such as tennis, swimming, baseball, etc. A good physical therapist can teach you specific stretches and exercises to strengthen the muscle groups to reduce future pain.
(20d) QUESTION:   How common is narcissism in relation to masturbation and sexual arousal? From the age of nine, when I first began masturbating I became aroused at my nakedness. Before getting into a jerking session, I would stare at my erect penis. Is this unusual?
ANSWER: I've discussed this on the Internet with sexual experts before. Honestly, I think it is very common. But other people disagree with me. Personally, I can tell you that I think it felt quite natural to do what you described (even at age 8 or 9), but there really aren't any scientific studies I could find on this topic. True Narcissism, in clinical terms, is a little bit different than just being fascinated with yourself or admiring yourself in the mirror. Psychologically speaking, the narcissist has a mental illness (personality disorder) where there is severe self-admiration on the surface but self-doubt and possibly even self-hatred deeper in the mind. I'm not sure exactly what you mean when you say "narcissism". However, I definitely don't think that admiring one's own penis is a mental illness in and of itself, as long as it is in the appropriate context of self-exploration and sensuality expression.
(21d) QUESTION:   Are there any studies about the effect of spanking on adolescent masturbation?
ANSWER: I think it would be realistic to say that the two things are entirely unrelated. However, spanking has been known to cause certain types of sexual fetishes of which certain masturbation fantasies may accompany. But there is no correlation between the specific act of spanking and the amount of an adolescent's general masturbation. In other words, less or more spanking will not cause less or more masturbation. Although, it may influence what the adolescent thinks about during masturbation.

(22d) QUESTION:  I don't masturbate at all. Is there anything wrong with me?
ANSWER:
 No. There is nothing wrong you. It is true that most adults have done it or do it regularly. However, it is not true that everyone does it. Some surveys have been known to jokingly say that 99% of males admit to masturbating and the other 1% are lying. This is a myth. 99% of males do not masturbate regularly. These days, it is more "popular" to say that you masturbate because people do not want to feel left out of the "majority". But I would say a more realistic figure is that only about 80-85% of males who have passed the onset of puberty masturbate regularly. However, it's a very personal thing. There is no need to be in the "majority". You can do it before puberty, during puberty, after puberty, in adulthood, in old age, or  not at all.
(23d) QUESTION:   Can masturbation cause you to have problems with urinating?
ANSWER: Yes, but this is a normal problem for many men, especially within an hour or so after ejaculation. Of course, this answer applies to both sex and masturbation. The problem should resolve within an hour or so.

(24d) QUESTION:   When I masturbate, I became weak. Could this have any effect on my confidence or on my health.
ANSWER: Immediately after masturbation or sex, it is normal to feel relaxed to the point of tiredness, especially for males. However, this should go away within an hour or two. If you are tired all day long, or you're tired after times that have not recently masturbated, you may want to consider medical advice.

(25d) QUESTION:   After having sex with my wife, a few hours later I had the urge to masterbate. This is causing a problem with my relationship, causing my wife to feel like she isn't fulfilling me.
ANSWER: Yes; it is very common and it does not necessarily have to be a "problem". Chances are, your wife is fulfilling you when it comes to your sex life. However, you probably also have a masturbation life that needs attention also. You were masturbating long before you met your wife. For many guys, sex and masturbation are two different needs. You should not doubt your love for her. Masturbation uses different muscles and affects different parts of the brain than sex. The orgasms are the same to the body and brain but the actions are very different. Take time to explain these differences to your wife as best you can.

(26d) QUESTION:   I masturbated since I was 12 years old. The frequency of the masturbations is once or twice a week. If I continue masturbating, will I suffer lack of sperm? And will I have less chance to have babies when I get married?
ANSWER: No. It will not affect the future.

(27d) QUESTION:   I am addicted to porn video and spend most of my recreation money to buy them. I watch a video at least once a day and masturbate to orgasm while watching. Because I am widowed, I live alone. I enjoy this practice.
ANSWER: If you are truly enjoying this practice, you are perfectly entitled to continue doing it. However, many people get to a point at which they want to stop this sort of thing and I refer them to Sexaholics anonymous  -- http://www.sa.org/

(28d) QUESTION:   I would like to know why exactly my testicles have a dark brown color, could this be from masturbation? I have a very fair complexion. I have noticed with women especially, some women's vaginas skin have a dark brown color, others have a color matching their skin tone. Is this from overuse?
ANSWER: Sounds to me like mine are the same color as yours. Testicles and penises just come in all different shapes and colors. I seriously doubt it is from "over-use".

(29d) QUESTION:   I masterbate a lot, and I have bad acne for years. I am in my late teens, and I am wondering is my bad acne not going away because I masterbate to much?
ANSWER: Acne is not related to masturbation. Acne is caused by bacteria that infects the oily pores.

(30d) QUESTION:   I have two questions (1) I have been masturbating regularly for 4 months about 3 times week. If I suddenly stop, will this be unhealthy? Should I stop gradually? Should I not stop at all? (2) I heard that masturbating helps the prostate. Is this true? Will my prostate be affected when I stop masturbating?
ANSWER: In your case, the best thing to do is what feels right for you. You won't die if you quit masturbating, but there can be some benefits for the prostate from the regular release of the semen.

(31d) QUESTION:   I stopped masterbating 4 days ago. Since then, I have caught myself being more bold about doing things I dreamed about at school. For example, smacking girls butts in the hallway... they seem to like it. Is it normal to act this way when stopping.
ANSWER: Yes. The sex drive and aggression will increase. However, smacking butts can get you into some real trouble. In the adult world, it's known as "sexual harassment".

(32d) QUESTION:   I used to masturbate every day (at least three times a day). Now I just do it once a week, which is kind of a challenge. Do you think I could develop some kind of psychological problems if I masturbate once a month from now on? Could my sex drive increase so much to the point of driving me nuts?
ANSWER: You will feel an increased sex drive. There is no way to know how this will affect you psychologically. Most people have experimented with quitting for as long as they can. It will not drive you nuts to the point of no return.
(33d) QUESTION:   When I was 12 and masturbated, there was a good feeling while I was doing it. Now I'm 18 and the feeling isn't the same anymore. Why is that?
ANSWER: (1) Maybe the novelty of it has worn off. For some guys, the masturbation experience is new and exciting in the beginning and then they get used to it as a routine. Some even get bored with it. Maybe you could change the way you do it. A new technique can often solve this complaint. (2) Also, when looking back over the years on pleasant experiences, things always seem better than they actually were when it was happening. We remember all good things to have felt better, smelled better, tasted better, looked bigger, or make us laugh more than they actually did at the time. This is known as the "nostalgic effect".

(34d) QUESTION:   I am a 31 year old that recently separated. I have noticed that I've had this urge to masterbate several times in a day. Today was my day off from work, and I already masterbated three times. Is this normal ? Aren't I too old to be acting like a teenager? I am really worried.
ANSWER:  Men of all ages masturbate. The frequency usually varies throughout a lifetime depending on circumstances. Try not to worry about it too much. It's not a big deal. But there should soon be other things you can do with your time. Sometimes it just takes a while to re-adjust and think about what to do next.

TITLE: Masturbation effect on prostrate - Allan

I`m in my sixties, been wanking since I was 12yo. A few years ago I developed Prostitis - swelling of the prostrate gland, and my doctor has advised me to continue to masturbate as often as I choose, because he says that masturbation can help to reduce the swelling in the prostrate gland. Can you confirm that statement?

[EDITOR'S NOTES: Yes. That has been written about in other articles in the media that I have seen. Some articles are also by doctors.]

I have been wondering if you masterbate after lifting weights for a few hours does it affect your muscle growth and if you are sore from lifting and you masterbate I feel less sore does that mean my workout has gone to waste? I really want to know.

[EDITOR'S NOTES: Masturbation can cause an endorphin rush, which reduces pain and can cause you to feel more relaxed. Some people say they have more energy to work out if they postpone an orgasm until afterwards instead of before a workout. However, it will not affect a workout you have already completed in the past.]

TITLE: energy & soul. freddy

i started masturbating when I was 11, at an average of 4 times a day. between the age of 16 and 24, I had sex with over 90 girlfriends and over 300 prostitutes. now at the age of 26 , I want the perfect woman to settle down , im very picky. Since a year ago , I have been masturbating , at least once a day. My question? in terms of energy, my soul, the amount of concentration going towards that? is that bad? I heard a chinese myth saying that your spinal cord is being weakened........ please assist me, I am in a stage in my life where health is my priority, I gave up smoking 3 months ago, after 8 years. thanks

In my opinion, that is too much of everthing you mentioned. But I doubt it affects your spinal cord.

TITLE: nervous

is it normal for two men to masturbate/blowjob each other? are they really men or are they gay?

That is not an easy question to answer. Being "gay" is what many men choose to call themselves who are exclusively homosexual. However, there are types of men who have had experiences with other men. It gets complicated and there are many theroeis. Check our Index for more info.

SEXUALITY: Gay
GENDER: Male
TITLE: Anonymous

I have several questions. (1)Is it true that masturbation burns calories? (2)How many times should I masturbate? (3)how long does it take to ejaculate during masturbation? (4)Before I masturbated at night on bed then I stood up and continued masturbating then I ejaculated which only took like 10 mins to ejaculate the 1 day( A little more than 24 hours) later I tried to masturbate and it has been like 10 mins an I havent ejaculated, why? (I was masturbating in the shower)

I think some of your questions are answered above. However, I will try to quickly go through a few of the unique ones. (1) Yes, masturbation and sex can burn as many calories as a 5 to 15 minute jogging, running, or workout session. It is 5 to 15 minutes depending on how long you do it and how much motion you use.
(2) You need to figure that out from the information we provided at the top of this page. (3) It has been known to happen in less than a minute or as long as you can keep going. (4) Sometimes the body just doesn't feel like masturbating even though the mind does.

i have noticed a number of partial answers to my particular problem...perhaps i missed something? the issue is not how many times either of us masturbate, it is when he does it after refusing intimacy with me....or instead of.....many times we have discussed this issue and each time i do not feel quite so bothered about it.....but even after many discussions and promises of him trying to meet my needs (and not getting off first then leaving me hanging) he still seems to choose it over me.....i am definately geting the feeling of being a "charity case" and only because he feels obligated too...so how do i delicately and gently broach the subject again, not in a manner designed to hurt him or make him feel guilt (since he shouldnt) but just to let him know that it is hurtful that he has chosen to ignore my needs and just please himself...please help anyone ty

TITLE: Once A day Keeps a smile on my face

I am now 44 years old and have masturbated most every day since 12.( Do the math ) I have a very strong sex drive, keeps me stress frea most of the time and love the feeling and control. I spoke to my doctor about it, and was told it now is proven to be a great part in a mans overall health and well being. My prostate levels are great, my erections are hard and I still wake up most mornings with my "am wood ". Don't get me wrong, I couldn't jackoff 4 times a day, and who would want to. Sounds like a person might need to speak to their doctor about that one.

SEXUALITY: Heterosexual
GENDER: Male
TITLE: Frequent Masturbation

I used to think I masturbated too much. I agree that it can be too much if it interferes with other important things in your life--life goes through various stages where some things are more important than others. So all my life it was a matter of "first things first'. However, I always enjoyed masturbating and found I did it more and more as I got older and had more time for it. Now that my family has grown up and I have retired and pretty well accomplished all I ever will and can just relax, I enjoy masturbation completely. I take out my cock and masturbate whenever I have a chance and enjoy every minute of it. I am very sure most people would think the amount I do it is 'too much'. But the way I see it, the only way it would be too much if I stopped enjoying it.

I spotted a question /topic shortly above where I am writing. The guy wrote this question (quote) is it normal for two men to masturbate/blowjob each other? are they really men or are they gay? )Unquote.

Normal?? Whats normal? I say 75% yes I could see it as normal in sense that more and more men are trying all guy sexual acts. However our so called wonderful seciety destorys a man if they find out. Guy is INSTANTLY judged and given sentence of ruined families, jobs, friends etc... And Why? Cause some ignorant jerk had to tell someone else then they tell and so on. Men are scared to death therefore they sneak toys, guy friends xxx matierals etc... Back to is it normal? If you and your male friend feel normal when together that it causes blow jobs, hand jobs, tasting / swallowing, or whatever, then yes its normal in your time and place. Men hide cause lame uneducated people cause them too. Who wants to sneak and hide a sex act with guy friend you both truely enjoy. So YES what you two do is very normal. Strangely enough studies suggest 75% of men have experienced at least 1 male to male sex act. The number increases as men age. So you see nearly everyones doing it, just can't allow anyone to know. So that leaves 25% no sex with male type act, okay that must mean it would be NOT normal to NOT engage in male / male sex encounter/s. Point is, I actually understand you completely. I have a friend we get gether 1 time a week and do everything except 1 thing and thats cock in anal penetration. EVERYTHING but that. I feel normal hell better than normal cause I am blessed with awesome wife yet I also get other sided sexual pleasures. I have best of both worlds!!! I have sex with wife 3-5 times weekly unless sick or whatever. If she only new her awesome hubby is excepting a male sexual pleasure in between she'd either join and cheer or get a gun and kill me. I won't risk it so my secret stays burried. I don't have any doubts I am NOT GAY by any strech. Just cause I like a man orally doesn't mean I alonly like want /desire /crave men only. I could NEVER kiss a man ewwwwww. But give head no problem, but not anyone. Matter fact its pure luck friend and I come together to just try 1st time. Anyway, enjoy your personal sex life how you desire and don't worry if normal. Just realize people don't have right to make a man have only a woman and vis verse. Unfortunately men like us must remain secretive and hide etc... I commend all humans who can except a persons personal choice to be whatever sex they want and never do or say anything to cause harm just cause they don't like it. Hope maybe I shed some light toward your question? Either way remember you're / we're NOT alone, remember 75% (laughing). Take care and good luck!!!!
