Can you get addicted to masturbating?

Im worried Im becoming reliant on it, I'll say to myself that I want to cut back on it to lkke 1 or 2 times a day but always get horny and do it. Is doing it 3/4 a day good or bad or just unhealthy?

  • Consider this: there are towns with 80% plus of the population is female. Guess how they cope?

    Consider this: world record for most orgasms by a female is 128 per hour or an orgasm every 28 seconds.

    Consider this: for thousands of years, societies have encouraged reproductuon. This is why every society/culture that managed to survive uses guilt to avoid doing things that lower the chance of inception. Horny young ladies, craving for an orgasm, are better that one that doesn't require conception to orgasm.

  • Yes you can & Honestly it’s okay it’s apart of the human body, but honestly too much of anything isn’t good. So I highly recommend you do something else to avoid masturbating.


    I haven’t masturbated in about 2-3 months.
    What I did was exercise or go out shopping or pamper myself. I’ve gotten so used to it that I didn’t care to do it anymore I barely get horny but I’ll have sex it be probably once every week but I don’t crave it or go crazy I see it as sex and if it happens it happens if it doesn’t oh well but it’s okay to do it once or twice a week though but not every damn day sis give yourself a break 😂

  • It depends. Is it disrupting your life to where you can't do anything important? When you masturbate too much to the point it hurts do you stop or keep going? Are you doing it enough to injure or bleed? Do you use toys that are safe for your body? These are only a few things to consider, but if you're really worried I'd talk to a doctor about it. You could also just have a higher sex drive too. But I cannot say whether or not 3-4 times is ok. It is important for your body to rest and take a break from it though.

  • As long as it isn't having negative affects on the other parts of your life (affecting your job, relationships with your friends & family, etc.), then it's fine. You are in your prime reproductive years - biologically it's totally normal that you are horny all the time, and when you add the loneliness and sexual frustration that comes with a lockdown, it's not exactly surprising that you're feeling an even stronger desire for sexual relief. And you aren't the only one - not by a long shot.

  • Addicted implies self harm. For instance, doing it instead of other things that you really need to be doing, or getting caught doing it at work. Does it get in the way of your life?

    Other than that, I see no problem with masturbating whenever you have the time and desire. It means that you have a strong libido. You need to find a guy who has a similarly strong libido so that you can fuck and fuck and fuck. Nothing wrong with that. :-)

  • oh no there's nothing unhealthy bout that it just means you need help I'm a massage specialist my specialty is SINFULLY SENCUAL and SEXUALLY WHEN WET following me and we'll set you up an appointment

  • You can become addicted to anything it's all about what please your senses with on so easily available it's easy to whip it out and relieve your self and for some they care less if they do it in person with another person or just whip it out and relieved hooked addicted done

  • I just stand up ,,, Hi my name Is Steve and I'm Addicted to maturbation so if anyone in here wants to join me lol

  • I have a Biology degree, and I have NEVER, EVER seen anything that says masturbating is harmful in any way!! Quite the contrary!! Several studies say it helps with relaxation, and lowering stress and Blood Pressure!!
    I think nature kind of built in a 'check' for that!! When you masturbate so much, that it hurts to touch, then you know it is too much!!
    by the way, I LOVE that it is now so totally acceptable that women openly say they love it, and even discuss it openly!! It's ALWAYS been so NORMAL, and now it it openly accepted and even LOVED!!!

  • Yes, you can and it will ruin your self life. You become so accustomed to playing with yourself you might get no satisfaction from actual intercourse.

    Some people use porn to masturbate to and they get to the point where the normalcy of being with someone can't turn them on anymore.

    Masturbating and porn are a double edged sword. You have to be careful because you can lose control from the urge of masturbating. You will start taking risks and not thinking about the consequences.

  • Its natural to do so. I would not be ashamed of it. Thats just me. I've never heard of being solely reliant on masterbating to completely be satisfied. We humans create bonds that do intensify our bodies sensations. Yes lust is nice sometimes, yet love is priceless!
    At the end of the day, you feel your bodies sensitivity and sensations. You know it best. You may be able to tell your partner or show them what you like and how to please you. Hopefully they pay attention and ablidge.
    I suggest if you are involved with someone. Be open, be honest, and be respectful.
    If you like your booty rubbed, or licked. Toes sucked. Doesn't matter. Talk about it.
    A shot never taken is a shot missed none the less.
    Hope this helps.

  • You don't count as addicted as long as you don't prefer it over having sex with your partner.

  • Also if it takes its toll on your body, don't or try not to overdo it even if it is what you need

  • I think you can. I'm not sure how many times a day or week is normal but at a certain point you want to balance it with other things. Distractions of different kinds...

  • Yes. But it can be addicted as in enjoy doing it frequently or addicted as in harming your life.
    I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't orgasm several times a week.

  • As a fellow kind of addict, it is hard to cut back. It isn't good to do it too much because it'll start chafing down there and it might hurt to pee. So just keep down there healthy and remember that life isn't just about pleasure, but pleasure is one of the things that makes life good. :)

  • It’s fine if you aren’t skipping other important things to masturbate.

  • Excessive masturbation is the prime cause of depression and other issues in young adults. You can become your own problem via it.

    Maybe put your hands and self to better use by going into the gym or getting a physical hobby to occupy yourself and work off that excess energy.

  • Nothing wrong with it. I don't know why people (women especially) are made to feel bad about doing it?

  • Girl, I'm screwed. I masturbated 6 times today

    • Haha, sadly that's what u aren't exactly! Screwed 😜

    • Do you mean 6 different times, or 6 orgasms? or is that the same thing?

    • 😂😂😂😂 That’s a lot. But once in a while that’s okay.

  • Yes you can get addicted, I myself am addicted and I realized this a while back I am challenging myself to go without doing it for 30 days. I would say for a woman it is not unhealthy to do it 3-4 times a day as long as it is not taking to much of your time or if you stop going out and doing things because you want to masterbate.
