I do lead and active lifestyle already.
I just really enjoy it.
And no, I will not have sex in place. I'm not ready for pregnancy right now.

If it is interfering with your life, then you have a problem. For instance, if a guy asks you out and you turn him down because you don't want to miss your me-time. Or if you don't have enough time to feed yourself or keep your home sanitary. Or if you miss out on something special, like your child's school play.
But if, overall, you still have enough time to accomplish whatever you want, I don't think it is a problem. Most people spend at least 3 hours a night watching TV, so 1-2 hours of masturbation should be fine.

there might be some health issues, I'm not sure. Maybe you should get some professional information.
Try to keep it at most twice in a day every couple of days, -at the most.
Masturbation is supposedly natural, and I think it's not a bad thing for pleasure. But, again, for health i don't know.
Oh and to reduce it... try getting a habit you actually love, not just like, love. And also there are a lot of interesting things out there. If you don't go out much, theres tons of great/fun stuff on the internet (not that I'm trying to make you stay at home all the time).
A good sport can also help you get your mind off an addiction. It's especially good since you get exercise as well. And by the way, you can meet new people too.
Good luck, stay cool

Hi, Theonyx...
Masturbation is a natural thing for people, guys or girls, to do to make themselves feel good and relieve stress. You didn't mention how often you DO masturbate and if you reach orgasm every time, but it does sound like you're concerned. Generally, if you masturbate on your own time and in the privacy of your home, it's not too much. However, if it starts cutting into your personal/public time- that would be like, doing homework, going out with friends, practicing piano... those kinds of things, then it may be too much. I don't think you can set a limit on how often is too much, so just judge by being alert to when you do it, and if it's cutting into time that you should be spending on other things. If you really want to try to reduce it, take up other activities that will keep you busy- school clubs, sports, drama, speech, community services....
Have fun, and good luck! you may email me if you'd like to!

It's to much when it starts to mess up your life there is no "normal amount" who is to say what your normal is.
You can keep busy or try maybe Sex Addicts Anonymous which is a very drastic step i don't think you are "addicted" like that. Try Searching Google for Sex Addicts help tips like that also you your self need to want to stop thats the best way.
Or you could get some love from another thing not your self.
Possibly a low self esstem issue is the deeper cause you might want to look into that to
Hope This Helps.

I guess the answer would be the same as someone addicted to drugs & can't stop no matter how much they want to stop.I actually prefer it sometimes more than with a partner to be honest.I think the most in a day was 6 times(not joking)but sometimes not for weeks at a time.I guess I average 3-5 times a week.

If it's interfering with the rest of your life, then it's too much. If you are too busy masturbating to do your homework, or go out with your friends, then it's likely that you have an addiction.
If you think you are masturbating too much, then try distracting yourself by going out and doing other things, stay in places where masturbation is not an option.

If it is taking away from your daily life then you have a problem. If you are doing it in places that aren't appropriate then you have a problem.
It's completely natural though.. I think once or twice a day is normal.. well for a guy I'm sure women are about the same.

i used to do it once a day but i havent done it in 1 month (yay) and i think once a day is a bit excesive i dont think it will hurt you but its just kind of addictive try walking when you want to masturbate or watch a good movie/tv show i like watching greys anatomy i think it makes people want real sex at a younger age witch is why i stoped so i could keep my virginity i am 11 i think that the reson people start is becouse they dont have anything better to do ive been trying to kick the habit for months its not as hard as you think

I would say more then twice A day, alot of people may
do it once or twice but like three or four times would be
A bit much I would think, who ever this question is for
I would try getting out some and getting in some activities.
