Why Do People Masturbate?
In addition to feeling good, masturbation is a good way of relieving the sexual tension that can build up over time, especially for people without partners or whose partners are not willing or available for sex. Masturbation also is a safe sexual alternative for people who wish to avoid pregnancy and the dangers of sexually transmitted diseases. It also is necessary when a man must give a semen sample for infertility testing or for sperm donation. When sexual dysfunction is present in an adult, masturbation may be prescribed by a sex therapist to allow a person to experience an orgasm (often in women) or to delay its arrival (often in men).
Is Masturbation Normal?
While it once was regarded as a perversion and a sign of a mental problem, masturbation now is regarded as a normal, healthy sexual activity that is pleasant, fulfilling, acceptable and safe. It is a good way to experience sexual pleasure and can be done throughout life.
Masturbation is only considered a problem when it inhibits sexual activity with a partner, is done in public, or causes significant distress to the person. It may cause distress if it is done compulsively and/or interferes with daily life and activities.
Is Masturbation Harmful?
In general, the medical community considers masturbation to be a natural and harmless expression of sexuality for both men and women. It does not cause any physical injury or harm to the body, and can be performed in moderation throughout a person's lifetime as a part of normal sexual behavior. Some cultures and religions oppose the use of masturbation or even label it as sinful. This can lead to guilt or shame about the behavior.
Some experts suggest that masturbation can actually improve sexual health and relationships. By exploring your own body through masturbation, you can determine what is erotically pleasing to you and can share this with your partner. Some partners use mutual masturbation to discover techniques for a more satisfying sexual relationship and to add to their mutual intimacy.

I'm guessing that you're young. I suppose I did it a lot more when I was young, too.
In time, like most men, you'll back off a bit on the frequency and learn to appreciate the quality of what you're doing.
Masturbation is not a "hurry up and ejaculate" activity. Learn to take your time and enjoy the journey as well as the destination.
According to a Canadian survey of Now magazine readers cited above, the frequency of masturbation declines after the age of 17. However, most males masturbate daily or even more frequently well into their 20s and sometimes far beyond.
There are no hard rules for what is "too much."
What matters is that 1) you enjoy yourself and what you're doing and 2) that you don't neglect your other obligations in life (job, family, friends).

The only downside I could think of is getting too accustomed to using your hand, a process that no vagina or mouth could ever replicate.
If you fear that youre getting desensitized, stop for a while. And by a while I mean more than a week lol.

It relieves stress, anxiety, and sexual frustration. If you are doing it more than usual you may be covering up uncomfortable feelings. It can be used as like a drug to escape from reality.
