I think its normal Victoria, dont let it worry you too much. You say you masturbate every night, so Im going to assume its averaging about 7 times a week? Some weeks a little more, some a little less? The only reason I ask, is that from what I understand, 7 orgasms a week is the overall average for people under 40. From what I was told (I'll explain), the only small consideration is that if you CONTINUALLY go way above that amount week after week, month after month, etc, only then can neurotransmitters come into play.

The reason I know this, is I was going to a doctor about some depression issues years back after a death in the family, and the doctor was listing different causes of neurotransmitter imbalances. Neurotransmitters are the chemicals in our brains such as Seratonin, Dopamine, Norepinephrine (sp?), etc, that control the reward/feel-good centers of our brain, and help stabilize our moods. From what the doctor said, one of the contributers to anxiety/depression sometimes MIGHT be excessive orgasms, because of the amount of the "feel-good" chemicals released. But, BUT---I really, REALLY want to emphasize something to you, the same way the Doctor did for me---this would only contribute a small amount to the problem IF and ONLY if it was so excessive you were doing it several times a day, EVERY day, for months on end. That is the language the Doctor used with me, and so I am passing it along to you. I think you are fine.

I dont think youre "addicted" unless its much, much more frequent than you state. Nothings wrong with what you are doing, unless you feel like you can't control it in some compulsive way. In which case maybe you should not worry too much, but just consider that if youre doing it very often, and out of a compulsive need to do so, then maybe it is possibly related to some stress, anxiety, or depression that is going on in your life?

That said, at your age and because you are not sexually active, it is perfectly normal for that to be your main sexual release. I really dont think you have anything to worry about Vic, it sounds like it is perfectly normal. Take care, I hope this helps a little!!

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.
