If it's all you want to do or think about, then yeah, it could be becoming a problem.
If, on the other hand, you're like most normal males, you might enjoy it once a day and then move on to the other important things in your life. Most men over 18 DO have other obligations and hobbies.
But that's not to say that men still don't occasionally indulge more than once a day. Of course they do.
Here's the deal: instead of indulging several times a day for short periods, cut back on the frequency and concentrate more on the quality of the moment.
Learn how to enjoy the "journey;" not just the "destination." Don't be in a big hurry to get off. Learn to control and delay your ejaculation. You'll be glad you did, both for your own pleasure, and that of a woman, if you eventually become involved and want to have sex. You'll last longer before you come, and she'll certainly appreciate that.

When it becomes a problem to you, such as when you would rather masturbate than eat, rather masturbate than go out with friends, rather masturbate than watch TV...you get the idea. When it is a compulsive behavior( can't stop) than you have to get some help. It is NOT a mental condition, but a obsessive-compulsive thing, and medication works.
Also, after seeing a doctor, change your lifestyle so that you can't always masturbate. Just like an alcoholic cannot go into a bar, you cannot sit around naked, or exposing yourself. Sometimes this will happen because you are angry, lonely or depressed. Never isolate yourself; go to a 12 step program, and substitute the word masturbation for alcoholism, drug abuse. It is all the same uncontrollable behavior that has taken over a life, and became a life of its own.
It doesn't have to be this way; but only you can change it. Good luck.

Its not how many times that makes it a problem its other circumstances. If your addicted to it and choose it over being with your partner,thats a problem. If you do it when your partner isnt available or if your single or if your partner just dosent want sex,than its just dandy. My husband and I both masterbate,him often,me,fairly often but we never choose it over each other.

however much you have time for is fine. if it becomes an addiction, which interferes with your normal life, like going to work or school, then you gotta back off and take a breather. see if you can go a week without it, if you've found yourself calling in sick to work or school, or begging off from social engagements, merely to allow yourself time to pleasure yourself. masturbation should only be used as an ALTERNATIVE to one-on-one physical contact with another human being, separate from yourself. if it's under control to that extent, then don't worry, just enjoy yourself. hope this helped ya!!

This becomes a problem when your phallus becomes sore or swollen. Most men can do this up to seven times, and women until they feel a pain or burning sensation in the vagina.

You don't do the counting. You only do it when you got the urge. And frankly, once everyday is already a problem boy. Don't you have other thing to do. Get yourself some hobbies beside this.

there is nothing wrong with masterbating.... if u like it do it... you will know it has been too much whenever ALL you think about is that... like when you wake up in the morning... during breakfast... ur shower... school... dates... presentations @ school... u get the point... yeaa... whenever it becomes EVERYTHING thats when u probably have had too much... so just calm it down

Well if you do it a lot, it will allow you to go longer with any partner, the tighness while J/Oing decreases the sensitivity of it while having intercourse.
This sometimes good, but if your cant come to a climax with some partners they are not happy.
FYI

It's only a problem if it begins to interfere with the rest of your life. That means that you are the only person who can answer your question, and only for yourself.

Health wise, there is no problem. But when it conflicts with your relationship with friends and family, it's a problem
