Addiction to wanking is it bad?

[Random3r]

I must be at the end if puberty now with me being 19 and I have only had sex once, I find that I am masturbaiting like 2 - 3 times every day, is there anyone else that is doing this or is it just me? And also can it be harmful to do it so much? I dont want to cause any health problems but its almost like an addiction :S ... please no silly replys.

It's not harmful, as long as you're not using a knife to masturbate. :P
Every guy masturbates, and it's natural to masturbate more during puberty. You'll most likely start masturbating less as you get older.

It's not "unhealthy" at all. It most times normal for teens. A male has at least once in their life masterbated and many do it multiple times a day or at least once a day.

agree and well said lol :)

I do it about twice a day. It's totally normal :P

It's not unhealthy at all, in fact its only unhealthy if you never masturbate. Think of it as exercise, its like any other muscle in that it needs fairly regular activity to stay healthy. Masturbating actually greatly reduces the chances of getting testicular cancer as well, so its good to do it on a regular basis.

2 times a day isn't a lot either. If I'm productive throughout the week I'll probably jo 4-5 times a week, but if I'm home all day with nothing to get done then I might jo 2 times.

Don't worry, you're not doing anything wrong. I think more than 2-3 times would be excessive though, so try not to exceed that :D.

I agree - I'll be once a day on a normal day, but if I'm home studying for an exam or something, or during holidays, then I'll do it quite a few times.

I'm not sure there is such a thing as "too much" - except if it gets sore!

[IAMWILL]

I'll be straight up.
At 19, 2-3 times a day is a lot. Now if you started puberty a year or two later than some of your peers you're probably okay, but even at the physically developed age of 17, 2-3 times a day is pretty high.
That said though, there is nothing bad about doing it that much, so if you have the drive to, and it doesnt get in the way of more important things like homework, friends, basic needs etc, you are not addicted and good to go.

Natural to do so when you have time on your hands - if you are active a lot the opportunity to masturbate is greatly decresaed but when your mind is not fully concentrated it can wander to sex - hewy presto - masturbation. A case of idle hands!!!

[Rayquaza]

I would say at 19, it's usually the time to cut down. As long as it's not getting in the way of things and that you're not dependent on it then go ahead.

[hotteengeek97]

i agree that it is not a problem

[CharmOfTheSOuth]

It's not bad for you.. But I wouldnt say it's a good addiction to have

[Tiggz]

it shouldnt be a a problem unless it gets in the way of any other engagments

[horde]

It's not harmful. And I really don't think you can masturbate TOO MUCH. Unless masturbation is seriously causing harm to your social and work life, then you're not masturbating too much. I'm 18 and i jerk 1-2 a day too.

[Richy1995]

I masturbate 3-4 times a day its normal your a teenager and you are horny :D

[Random3r]

hmm I hear that when men get older though sex doesnt really turn them on as much any more?

[LatinaVivit]

If you aren't preoccupied with anything else I can see how you would do that a lot. Try getting a job or something else to occupy your time and the number of times you do it will probably go down.

[Short Circuit]

Dont think of it as an addiciton, think of it more of a hobby :)

[OddGuyOut]

I don't think masturbating multiple times a day is a bad thing unless it disrupts your daily life, if your skipping things like chores or going to the bathroom at school during class to jerk then I think it's too much. There's nothing wrong with masturbating multiple times a day, it keeps your system working!

[RunnerRunner]

I jack off up to 3 times a day.it's completely normal for a teen.

Most addictions become a problem once it starts to interfere with the rest of your life. If it does not you should be fine :)

[Chase1998]

It depends on how bad your addiction is
