what is normal?

Question

is there a normal amount of time that a guy masturbates per day, i mean i know everyones different and it depends on their sex drive but, is there a point where you go "ok this isn't normal anymore". and if so what should you do about it, is it necessary to get help,?, is there help?

Answer 1

It always depends on the guy and his age. Younger guys tend to masturbate far more often than older gents. Part of it is due to raging hormones and the discovery of self, whereas older guys with jobs and stress and life, well... let's just say there isn't always enough time to properly enjoy oneself.

What is normal frequency? It all depends on the guy... For myself (keep in mind I am 35!), once a day is fine, it's normal, a-OK, and even recommended! However, if it becomes over 3 times daily every day and it hinders on other daily activities, THEN I'd consider that problematic!

Cheers!

EFFECTS OF OVER-MASTURBATION:
http://www.4-men.org/overmasturbation.html
Frequent masturbation and ejaculation stimulate acetylcholine/parasympathetic nervous functions. Excessive stimulation can result in over production of sex hormones and neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, dopamine and serotonin.

Abundant and unusually large amount of these hormones and neurotransmitters can cause the brain and adrenal glands to perform excessive dopamine-norepinephrine-epinephrine conversion and turn the brain and body functions to be extremely sympathetic. In other words, there is a big change of body chemistry when one excessively masturbates.

Note: Masturbation is a healthy sexual behavior. Like other behaviors, when over practiced or addicted it can lead to both psychological and physiological imbalances.

Side-effects of Masturbation
Other than an immediate need for a towel or tissue, the effects of masturbation upon the male body were:
Fatigue. Feeling tired all the time
Lower back pain
Thinning hair / Hair Loss
Soft / Weak Erections
Premature Ejaculation
Eye floaters or fuzzy vision
Groin / Testicular Pain
Pain or cramp in the pelvic cavity or/and tail bone

When to say when
How much is too much masturbation (and sex for that matter)? That depends but it's suggested men keep their ejaculation frequency down to 2-3 times a week. However, sexual activity can be experienced more often if men learn how to orgasm without ejaculation. Doing so can actually store bioenergy into your system and make your penis firmer, your erections last longer, and your ejaculate volume bigger.

Over masturbation participants experience problems with concentration and memory. This is a dangerous side effect of over masturbation and signals that the brain is being over drained of acetycholine. Over masturbation drains motor neurons and neuro-muscular endings of acetycholine, which is eventually replaced. Over masturbation can lead to absentmindedness, memory loss, lack of concentration, and eye floaters. To fight these symptoms, the chemical levels in your body needs to be balanced.

Connection between ejaculation frequency and prostate health
http://www.goaskalice.columbia.edu/4961.html

QUESTION:
have been coming across articles on the connection between masturbation, ejaculation, and overall health. I was very surprised about this article from the Cancer Council Victoria in Australia . It was a study that confirmed that ejaculation frequency is important for a healthy prostate. The protective effect was most significant in men in their twenties who ejaculated on average 7 or more times per week. It compared this against same-age men who ejaculated less than 3 times per week. I made a New Year's resolution to pay attention to my body and to *** at least once a day. I feel much better for it and my penis strength and sexual urge has increased immensely. I feel balanced. After a year, I can't imagine going back to my old repressed frequency and probably couldn?t keep from ******* for a whole day if I tried now. Why aren?t people made aware of this need? After getting used to daily +, I often have the urge to do it even more, but hold back. Are there any physical problems with over ejaculating?

ANSWER:
What a fabulous New Year’s resolution to pay attention to your body! Your efforts are worth applauding, as being in tune with yourself and your new masturbation schedule seems to have paid off, as you note that you feel “balanced” and “much better for it.” Happily, no physical problems are associated with over-ejaculating, so don’t worry about giving in to the natural urge to enjoy and pleasure yourself more often. You clearly have a strong awareness of the positive effects of masturbation on your body, so go ahead and experiment with masturbation frequency – in this way, you can determine what frequency feels best for you and your regular routine.

You also ask why people aren’t made aware of the “need” to masturbate often. Good question – especially in light of the study’s findings that frequent ejaculation helps reduce the risk of prostate cancer. Unfortunately, self-stimulation – as with most sexual acts – is often viewed as shameful, dirty, immoral, and all sorts of other negative adjectives. Wouldn’t it be great if masturbation could be seen as the healthy, enjoyable, and beneficial activity it really is, openly talked about and (gasp!) endorsed? Perhaps one day it will be – with more people like you who are open-minded and bold enough to talk about it in a positive light.

Enjoy – and pass that article along to friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, and anybody and everybody else!

Answer 2

What you see on normal, is what's natural. Example: if you see a character hiccuping that in general average but if its nonstop for days or months, that's surely now not usual. Additionally if a individual was born with whatever like six fingers on every hand won't seem usual to us but it is normal to that man or woman. So mostly it can be an man or woman factor that no one else will realize.

Answer 3

Age effects how much a guy does a day. One of my friends in High school was 6-8 a day (what I think is a little evcessive, but it don't hurt anyone so let it be).

Answer 4

It all varries..I mean you can go from anywhere from a few mintutes to maybe an hour..I'd hope when you hit that hour point you'd just quit...and go get help...When I say help I mean a female..or male friend if you swing that way. But either way..As long as it feels good..Go with it!

Answer 5

The best solution is to gain control over it. As someone already said, stop when you're getting there and relax. Pay more attention to pleasuring your mate--orally, perhaps--and avoid rubbing your penis up against anything while doing so. It will take work on your part and patience on both parts.

As a last resort, some antidepressants curb sexual functioning with the intention of learning the pleasure of restraint after which you could taper off them. Here's your goal: the longer you can delay your orgasm, the more intense it will be. So it isn't just a matter of satisfying your mate. This is the main reason some claim stoned sex is better, unlike drunk sex which can leave you unable to perform (brewer's droop). You enjoy exploring each other longer. And remember, oral isn't just one place. It's all over, paying particular attention to kissing, and TALK about what each of you like. Strange how people don't talk about sex when they're the ones doing it.

Answer 6

YES... It is called chronic masturbation.... You better ask help from a professional psychologist regarding this matter. he/She might help..... This is not an ordinary problem if this hinders your day to day activity already. It means that this is not an isolated problem, somebody has the same problem......So better look for a professional help....my advise.

Answer 7

Answer 8

It depends how offtion he does it. if he or who ever does it every day then that person needs help.
