Your Guide to Masturbation
Masturbation is the self-stimulation of the genitals to achieve sexual arousal and pleasure, usually to the point of orgasm (sexual climax). It is commonly done by touching, stroking or massaging the penis or clitoris until an orgasm is achieved. Some women also use stimulation of the vagina to masturbate or use "sex toys," such as a vibrator.
Who Masturbates?
Just about everybody. Masturbation is a very common behavior, even among people who have sexual relations with a partner. In one national study, 95% of males and 89% of females reported that they have masturbated. Masturbation is the first sexual act experienced by most males and females. In young children, masturbation is a normal part of the growing child's exploration of his or her body. Most people continue to masturbate in adulthood, and many do so throughout their lives.
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.

No twice a day is perfectly normal for a healthy teen (which I am guessing you are) Don't let it become an obsession though!

No reason you have to masturbate at all, won't cause it to fall off or not grow or anything like that. That said, most guys, nearly 100%, have a strong sexual urge to in fact masturbate and relieve their pent up sexual tension. In the teens guys masturbate on average at least once a day; close to that rate in their 20s and the rate drops as guys get older. Even if a guy has a regular sex partner or wife he'll still have the urge to go solo as well. Great way to relax and feel good about your body and what it can do. But there is no hard and fast (no pun intended) rule as to how often you should ejaculate or if at all. Go with your own body urges. Some guys are super horny and may ejac 2 or 3 times a day; other guys may only reach an intense sexual urge every day or two. But above all, enjoy it and use it as a way to learn about your body and how it reacts sexually; masturbating can be a great way to learn to control your release as well as recognize when you will be reaching the point of no return.

Yes. You have to control it because over masterbation will effect your body. Twice a week is normal.
