How Much Masturbation
Is Too Much?We must first ask: “What should I be doing instead of masturbating?” Masturbation is only an addiction if it is getting in the way of your other daily activities such as work, school, hobbies, or friends. Even guys that masturbate a lot (multiple times per day) are usually able to quit long enough to carry out everything else they need to get done in their lives. Just because you masturbate everyday or more than once a day does not necessarily mean that you are an addict. If your masturbation time is just time that would normally be wasted for things like watching TV, sitting around doing nothing, watching cars go by, or trying to fall asleep, then you probably have nothing to worry about. On the other hand, if you are isolating yourself from everyone all the time or failing to meet your daily responsibilities then you may want to cut down. Sometimes therapy is necessary, but you can usually just try to find something to take your mind off it.
- You know you masturbate too much if you are neglecting friends or responsibilities to spend more time masturbating.
- You know you masturbate too much if you are always thinking about masturbating again right after you just finished.
- You know you masturbate too much (or the wrong way) if your penis is often raw and irritated from friction.
- You know you masturbate too much if it is somehow affecting the quality of your life.
