Is there such a thing as TOO MUCH masturbation?

I've been single for a while now, and it's no secret that I'm a 24-yr-old vigin. I masturbate quite frequently, say 4 times a week, but now I've bought a new toy I expect that number to increase.

Also reading the 'When was the last time you masturbated?' topic, it gives me an idea that I'm not the only person who does it. There isn't anyone else I can talk to, and I know that masturbation is a healthy act with all the added benefits of low blood pressure, reducing stress etc. but it is possible to harm your body with too much 'me' time?

It's not possible to do any real physical harm with regular masturbation, but it is possible to train yourself to repsond to a very specific set of sensations that can't be replicated with 'real' sex.

For guys, this is called "death grip" (or at least, that's what Dan Savage calls it!), and it means that they are so used to the tight feel of their own hand that they struggle to climax during penetration or oral. For women, I would imagine that using fingers or toys is fine -- but if you grind or rub against something hard, that could train your clit to only enjoy or respond to that extreme sensation.

But aside from problematic methods, there's nothing wrong with masturbating as much as you like!

Personally i dont think their is, i have at LEAST twice a day since i was 14/15. i have actually read somewhere that it can help to improve sex drive, (not sure how true this is!) xx

when i was single i used to masturbate about 4/5 itmes a week, sometimes even more.

i always think its good for you, but thats me

If something drops off then you're doing it too much, otherwise no.

if youre feeling sore than that is probably a time to ease up

As a teenager I often masturbated 4 or 4 times a day, but now I'm older I only do it once or twice. Takes longer to recover ...

Even with regular sex I masturbate that often, and I get a bit fidgety if I miss a day or two.

I was about 14 or 15 and had wanked off 15 times one day !

My balls felt like lead weights !

I have always had a very high sex drive from a young age

This made me giggle! ^^

As others have said, I don't really think you can masturbate "too much" - though you should probably ease up if you're getting sore. :P But as Shellyboo mentioned, you can train yourself to respond to certain types of sensation, which can cause trouble when you deviate from them.

I did actually read a while back that for some men yes..masturbating too much is not a good thing, we're talking 3-4 times a day every day. The reason was regarding hormone production (producing too much of one type and not enough of the other..something like that) and it could start to affect your sex drive in a negative way

Once a day is average for me. Seeing as I'm single and also a virgin I see no practical alternative. A friend of mine mentioned twice a day is average for him so I think males tend to masturbate a lot more often than females.

As I do it, nothing is sore or dropping off (thank God!), it was just a query. I'm upto once a day now, every evening before I go to sleep to help me relax, last night I came twice :)

dont think there can be too much of it. it is a healthy way of lowering stress and having some self pleasure....

so will be having some me time later on today :)

One time when I had a few days off when I had nothing better to do I just spent 3 days in bed masturbating, watching porn, reading erotica withthe exception of eating and ging to the loo lol. I did get a bit sore and numb so I had to find some new techniques.

I probably go between 3 and 15 times a day depending how much time I have and how much sex Im getting.

If you start not doing thingsjust so you can stay in and masturbate then you have a problem lol.

My experiments lead to me to the conclusion that there is no such thing as too much masturbation

Yep! staying in to masturbate is a problem agreed. like your profile description as "hetroflexible", and the blue hair. 15 times a day, are you going for Olympic Gold, good girl lol. also note despite being roped-up a brilliant smile.

Horny Cock_a_Too

You can never have too much of a good thing :)

I saw a programme once where someone had to go to the docs to get his arm strapped up as he had RSI through too much wanking.

He realised he was addicted and was slowly reducing the time he spent wanking. At the time of the programme he was down to 8 hours a day!!

RSI.....thats too much.

too much masterbating????? i bloody hope not

God forbid !! Everyday if possible
