Is masterbation normal? And if so, how much is too much?

Answer 1

It is normal and okay. It is good for you and your reproductive system and should be done as much as you want. There are no bad side affects. It is not a sin since it is not mentioned in the bible in either the old or new testament.

Answer 2

It's completely normal. It's too much when it interferes with your daily life. That's true of pretty much everything, not just masturbation. You can't put a specific number on it, it's different for everyone. One guy I know said he used to masturbate 6 or 7 times a day when he was in high school, and now that he's 27, he still does it about once a day. Other people I know masturbate once or twice a month. It really varies from one person to the next.

MASTURBATION MYTHS:
from http://www.jackinworld.com/library/myths.html

Chances are, of all the things you've heard about masturbation, most of them were absolutely false. For some reason, misinformation surrounds masturbation like virtually no other topic. How do you spot a masturbation myth? One simple method is to ask yourself if the statement is also true of sexual intercourse. When you're masturbating, your body only knows it's getting sexually stimulated; it doesn't know by what means. So, for instance, if the question is whether or not masturbation causes acne, think of it this way: If it did, intercourse would also cause acne. In fact, neither masturbation nor intercourse cause acne.

MYTH:
Masturbation causes hair to grow on your palms.
FACT:
How many people with hair on their palms have you seen?
MYTH:
Masturbation causes hair loss, chronic fatigue, and other problems.
FACT:
Internet scam artists have tried to invent a concept called "overmasturbation," insisting that you have to buy their expensive herbal pills in order to counteract the effect of masturbating more than a couple of times per week. But the pills have absolutely no effect — and masturbating once or twice a day will not make your hair fall out, or cause anything else they claim.
MYTH:
Masturbation is bad for your eyesight.
FACT:
Masturbation does not affect eyesight. This myth probably originated because boys often start having to wear glasses at about the same age they start masturbating.
MYTH:
Masturbation causes your penis to stop growing (or) to get bigger.
FACT:
Masturbation has no effect on penis size whatsoever.
MYTH:
Masturbation causes your testicles to shrink.
FACT:
Absolutely false! It is true that if you're highly aroused, your testicles become engorged with blood and may appear slightly larger and heavier, and that masturbating will make them revert to normal. But they will absolutely not be any smaller than after the last time you masturbated.
MYTH:
Masturbation causes acne.
FACT:
It doesn't cause acne. Like the eyesight myth, this is a case of two things that happen at the same time, even though one doesn't cause the other.
MYTH:
Masturbation causes sexually transmitted diseases.
FACT:
Hello? "Sexually transmitted" means from one person to another. You can't give yourself a sexually transmitted disease!
MYTH:
If you masturbate too much, you'll run out of semen and become sterile.
FACT:
Semen is a fully renewable resource. When you ejaculate semen, your body simply makes more — the same way your body makes more saliva after you spit.
MYTH:
People can tell whether you masturbate by how your penis looks.
FACT:
Masturbation does not change the appearance of your penis. (It does tend to cause an erection, but that usually goes away when you're finished.)

How often does the average male masturbate?
It depends on a lot of factors, the most important being age. For an 18-year-old male, a rough average is once a day or so. This is slightly higher for younger teenagers — maybe 10 or 12 times a week, and slightly lower for older people. You might be surprised by how often adult men masturbate — even happily married men.

I think I'm addicted to masturbation. Is that possible?
It is, although many, many people think they're addicted when they're really just doing what comes naturally. For more on this topic, read the article Is Masturbation Addictive?(http://www.jackinworld.com/library/articles/addict.html).

How can I masturbate less often, or quit altogether?
It's tough; it takes a lot of will power. It can be done, especially if you're driven by very strong religious feelings. However, JackinWorld's position is that it's not worth it. We think you should enjoy the harmless pleasures your body can provide.

Answer 4

masturbation is perfectly normal. Everyone does it! They just might not admit it. Too much masterbation is when it interferes with your social life but this probably won't be a problem.

Answer 5

Even babies do it. Animals do it, too, but let's not go there.

It's probably too much when that's all you want to do. Fortunately, nature fixes its so that you give out after a bit in a day, but that's a long time if you can sustain it. You don't even need an erection for a man to masturbate, and of course, women are even less limited.

Answer 6

I don't know the exact cons to it, but I heard that too much can cause blurry vision. I don't know if thats true or not. I masturbate about 2-3 times a day and my vision is starting to get a little blurred. Cause no one else in my family needed glasses at my age.

Answer 7

its completely normal and healthy. Nothing is really too much, but if you are pretty much thinking about it constantly, or when you would do it next then it might be too much. You should be able to live your life without being preoccupied by it, which would take a lot anyway.

Answer 8

Completely normal. It's only too much if it's interfering with your school or work, then you have to reevaluate your priorities!!! The younger the guy (I'm assuming you are male) the more often they tend to masturbate. Don't worry - your behavior is perfectly normal.

Answer 9

It's normal and healthy. If you can't function in normal life it's too much, other than that there's no limit.

Answer 10

it is normal
more then twice is too much in a day
