  • Yes. It's a psychological addiction that pretty well documented in psychological circles.

    As for too much masturbation, I think that a psychologist would only describe it as unhealthy if it interfered with your ability to lead a happy and successful life. If you jacked off +20 times a day, but were able to maintain healthy relationships, hold down your job/schoolwork, and explore your hobbies, I wouldn't consider it unhealthy. If masturbation is messing with your life, its possible you're unhealthily addicted and should seek a psychiatrist who could help remedy the problem.

    That being said: How much is a lot?

  • i used to do it 6-7 times a day now i do it 2-3
    how i did it is i got in shape i only drink water now
    and got healthy and once i did that id start having more sperm come out each time therefor i dont have the urge to do it as much

  • it only turns into addiction when it interferes with daily life and functioning. If you aren't leaving the house and are only staying home to masturbate, and are blowing off school and work to masturbate, if you cannot finish any project or task because you need to masturbate then yes you are addicted.

    until then its just a stress reliever

  • There is really nothing wrong with that. And it makes sense to masturbate a lot if you are horny and bored with nothing else to do. There really is no such thing as too much masturbating, and it's completely normal to do it. There are lots of people who do it multiple times a day, so don't worry about it.

    • thats very open minded

  • If you quit your day job, abandon school, and dump all your friends to make more time for masturbation, then you might be addicted.

    Otherwise, no.

  • Hmm, hard to really give you a proper answer without pics.

  • You can never masturbate to much I’m 47 and I jack off every day the more you masturbate it make you more sexual
